Today, I have mostly been listening to ...

I have this on a compilation and found it down the back of the sofa the other day. I know zip about the band but I like this a lot.

It's vote time ... what else would I be listening to??

This one goes out to Drew and Lix:

Because of the demise of Demis Roussos, I've had a morning of Aphrodite's Child (that's him on bass too).

Today, I have mainly been treating my ears to Mr Miller

Some great stuff on that compilation - pretty sure I never heard it back in the day, certainly never really noticed him.

Next-to-nothing of his on YT - this is maybe the best

Big Wreck's cover of Tom Robinson's War Baby:

I think it's better than the original.

The new(ish, but got to see it live), Swimming Pool by Emmy the Great.

I also now own an inexplicably green 12" vinyl but no turntable.

This is actually epic - especially how he does "Back in the Saddle" starting at 3:4:

The new one from The Waterboys.

Mike Scott is up there as one of my favourite songwriters, and there's some fabulous lyrics on this one.

Off to see them live on Monday as well so

He was on radio 2 the other day, I was quite interested although the Water Boys never been on my radar before.

Which show was that?

They're one of those bands that had the one massive hit (Whole of the Moon) so that overshadows everything as far as the mainstream press are concerned, they've done an awful lot more, and are always excellent live.

A trawl through the work of a band I've probably seen live more than any other, when they were on their game (which, thankfully, was often) they were spectacular.

oh , drive time I think. They also played acoustic stuff on Chris Evans show this morning , although I only heard Fishermans Blues. Heard the new single on Jeremy Vine yesterday. Considering I only have Radio 2 on for about 20 minutes a day they must be all over the station like a rash!

The Live Thunder CD that came with this month's Classic Rock mag. Excellent stuff.

Really want to hear this @Nunogilberto

It's hard to come across CR here. We do get "old" issues, semi-regularly and we get the CR blues thing but never AOR. Really want the newest CR for the Thunder disc and really want the newest/upcoming AOR for the Aerosmith feature.

@octahedron - it'll be worth it when you finally get it. Great recent live performance.

Freebird

The complete works of Joy Division .. well two albums to be precise
