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".

GH, it's so good to hear you like The Grays and Bill Lloyd. Here's another recommendation. Radney Foster and Bill Lloyd did a couple albums together many years ago and then came back in more recent times (2011) with a new one. Very well recorded and nice to hear them playing together again.

Foster and Lloyd - It's Already Tomorrow

Lyle Lovett - Release Me (excellent recording and typical Lyle nuggets)

nice to hear bill lloyd get a shoutout--his first solo lp, feeling the elephant, is a power pop classic--i just reheard it on spotify and some of the songs remained in my head from 25 years ago.

the robert forster mention inspired me to go back to the go-betweens "before hollywood," a fantastic example of that that mopey/melodic 80s thing (smiths/church, etc.). very poetic

also digging tv on the radio's newest, seeds. you can hear a little bit of lodger-era bowie and a little bit of prince, but they don't really sound like anyone else.

thanks all for the interesting picks.

Thanks, guys...got Feeling the Elephant cranking now. Great sounds and songs.

Do check out Freedy Johnston...not rocking quite as hard as Elephant but there is something similar to Bill L's. song writing (or so I think).

ALSO - if you have never before, give a listen to Smash Palace. I'm not a big fan of "greatest hits" most of the time but their "Best of '99 - '06" is worth checking out.

ghost, i'm a big freedy johnston fan, though i wouldn't put him in the same genre as bill lloyd--fj's more the thoughtful folkie. "this perfect world" is essentially a perfect album, and sonically incredible (butch vig production). the title track is the saddest damn song ever written. his guitarist, kevin salem, also records in his own name and is well worth checking out. "never home" is also great.
haven't heard smash palace before, but got 'em cued up--looks from their influences that they're right up my alley.
check out the verlaines, "just too obscure" and lemme know what you think.
