What's your Favourite Album ATM
What album are you listening to this week?
For me its
Janis Joplin - "Pearl"
I've been giving this album a bit of a caning over the last 2 days.
The lyrics are so raw and her voice, wow, her voice.

This week
Hi JJJ,
This week I seem to be stuck on two albums:
The Mathematicians Air Display -- Pekka Pohjola
Brain Salad Surgery -- Emerson Lake & Palmer.
The latter in particular I'm finding simply irresistable (I know, I know -- wrong Palmer) . The 2nd track Toccata is extremely intense, complex music and stands repeated plays well as does Karn Evil.
Best,
Les D

JJJ, love Janice Joplin, what a shame she died so young.
Les, that reminds me of Emmerson Lake & Palmers Pictures at an Exhibition, one of my favourites. Pictures at an Exhibition is a classical piece by Mussorgsky and Emmerson Lake and Palmer really do it justice. I've got the album on Vinyl but really need to source a CD as I have easy way of playing Vinyl.
One album I seem to play a lot in the car is a compilation CD that came with the "This is it folks, over the Top" DVD by the Angels, their music certainly stands the test of time.

At the moment it's "Head Injuries" by Midnight Oil.
Hi Les, Phil thanks for reminding me about ELP, I haven't played them for ages. I'll have to dust of the vinyl and have a listen.
Cheers

I have been giving the new JJJ hottest 100 a hammering, also been
enjoying Kings Of Leons new album, and in the metal department
Metallicas new death magnetic gets the thumbs up, i play it flat out
then put it away for a month or so then i start all over again so it must
be good, i like all music though new & old which is a big bonus cos there
is always a concert on that i could turn out and enjoy..

I seen Midnight Oil live at sound relief we were right up against the stage they were definatly a big highlight of the whole show
i don't think there was a person sitting down when they came on, the
minister rocked the house...

I'm so jealous Stuart. 
Haven't been to a concert for years.
The first time I saw Midnight Oil was at the Homestead Hotel in Brissie. They'd just released their first album. Awesome  .
The pub circuit during the early 80's was THE place to be to hear great music. The Divinyls one week, Rose Tatoo the next, The Angels, Mental as Anything, Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons etc etc.

Can't beat the aussie music hey, splt endz and hunters were also great, just thinking that would have been awesome as if Rose tatoo and mental as anything came along, even Icehouse who played at the SCG were great via the MCG bigscreens, my older teenage sisters in the mid 80's used to flog Icehouse songs over and over when i was little so everytime i hear them play it brings a good memory,(The world would sure be ordinary without music huh)...

Hmmm, haven't listened to Bob Marley for a while.

umm, Stuart, splt endz are from NZ  .
"Absolution" by Muse would be my pick from the last few years.
Anthem stadium rock has moved on from the beloved 70-80s, its bigger and better than ever now adays  .

Nettie,
great thread
Kings of Leon's latest.
I told the young dudes at work 5 years ago this band will go places.
There was something I liked about the sound.
They all remind me of that comment now
They supported U2 through Europe and North America I think
on the last tour. No small thing.
Us in Oz got bloody Kanye West as the support...ripped off !

Have you listened to any of CW Stoneking's music?
Another aussie legend in the making.

Love my blues and he has a real oldtime Creole feel to him.
He's playing at the Tivoli in Brisbane this Sunday night.
Hubby's going down to see him.

Nothing wrong there kev
The album "When the man comes around" is probably my favourite album
The cover of hurt won quite a few music awards. not bad for a 71 year old.

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor admitted that he was initially "flattered" but worried that "the idea (of Cash covering "Hurt") sounded a bit gimmicky," but when he heard the song and saw the video for the first time, Reznor said he was deeply moved and found Cash's cover beautiful and meaningful. He later said in an interview, "I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn't mine anymore
