What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

@ghosthouse, I feel lucky to have seen Van perform live when he was still in Them. It was in a small club in San Jose, California, 1967 iirc, though it may have been late '66. He, Stevie Winwood, and Paul Jones (Manfred Mann) were the best singers of the British Invasion bands.

Thanks for the comments.  Another case of "concert-envy".  Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.  Don't get me started about Steve Winwood.  Agree with you - one of the greatest rock vocalists (and not a bad GITtar player either...not only organ).  Don't know Paul Jones.  Are you positive about the Manfred Mann connection? (aka Manfred Mann's Earthband).  All I can remember by them was Blinded By The Light (that is one Springsteen song I really hate) and Quinn The Eskimo.  Don't remember their vocalist lighting things up for me.

@ghosthouse, Paul Jones was in only the original Manfred Mann line up, the first four albums, I believe. He sang the early hits like "Do Wah Diddy Diddy", and left the band in the middle of '66.

Manfred Mann was very different from the other British Invasion bands, being distinctly Jazz and R & B driven. Little known fact: Jack Bruce was a member for awhile!
