Hey guys, I thought it might be interesting to share what we’ve been enjoying listening to recently. I shall have a go first. I mainly use Spotify Premium @320 on my Dap. The albums of choice recently have been: * * * **Rumours by Fleetwood Mac** **Crowded House (Deluxe)** **Sessions from the 17th Ward by Amber Rubarth** **Famous Blue Raincoat: 20th Anniversary Edition by Jenifer Warnes** **Completely Hooked by Dr Hook** **Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club** **All Out 80’s - Playlist by Various Artists** I haven’t put any links up as they are just downloaded from Spotify. It’s a bit of a mix I know. But it’s the stuff that I enjoy. 😁. Don’t be too harsh… ---

Then I shall have a look at your list and play a few. I do a similar thing but my play list now has a few hundred of my favourites added. A real eclectic mix. Embarrassingly so a few of them. Haha. I may go public some day.😁 ---

For me lately, it’s been Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, Radiohead’s OKNOTOK, U137, and Chris Stapleton music, and The Civil Wars. ---

I’ve been giving the MrSpeakers Ether 2 with the SPL Phonitor X a full run-through for the last week or so with a a bunch of Tidal MQA albums. Some have been great, while others have not been as much fun. Currently listening to: https://embed.tidal.com/albums/92318306 ---

I find myself in the weirdest place with music right now. My two favourite genres are jazz and metal. And I don’t mean just the light stuff in either genre haha. One moment I’m listening to the bad plus, the next I’m listening to Opeth. Good jazz for headphones: Patricia Barber (test sibilance with this) Tingvall Trio Brad Mehldau Anna Moon Molly Johnson Aaron Parks Diana Krall Alexis Cole Stacey Kent GoGo Penguin JD Allen Ulf Wakenius Julian Lage (this stuff is amazing) Robert Glasper Trio Francis Lockwood Antonio Farao Chris Potter Eric Harland The Bad Plus Good metal for headphones: Steven WIlson Opeth (the older stuff) Ostura Spires BTBAM Pain of Salvation Meshuggah Amorphis Witherscape DT (scenes from a memory only… and the one new song) ---

I have never been able to get into metal myself. Though perhaps I have never given it a real go. With regards to jazz I really like listening to it, though I am no expert. Heck, I know next to nothing about it only that I like to hear it. ---

New quest: find metal that Paul likes. He wrote: > [@prfallon69](#): > > I have never been able to get into metal myself. Though perhaps I have never given it a real go.

Metal has 100 sub-genres, and some are wildly different from one another. Melody was a big component in the 1970s, and in mainstream metal during the 1980s. It then fragmented every which way. I personally take it in smaller doses and don’t like jack-hammer, machine gun, chainsaw music sung by a gargling demon. Perhaps try mainstream heavy-ish music, such as Led Zepplin III, Ozzy’s _Crazy Train_, and Megadeth’s _Symphony of Destruction_. Also, you might consider symphonic/orchestral metal from Nightwish or Yngwie Malmsteen. My wife is hardcore classical but genuinely appreciates Yngwie’s technical skills (and she gravitates toward progressive rock on technical grounds). ---

I recently saw Iron and Wine in concert (Sam Beam) so I have been revisiting his catalogue from what I think are his best years, 2002 (The Creek Drank the Cradle) - 2013 (Ghost on Ghost). There are some real gems in between those years, such as The Trapeze Swinger from Around the Well. At his show he forgot the words to that 9 minute song! https://embed.tidal.com/tracks/2768034 ---

Thank you for your suggestions @generic I appreciate it. I must definitely set time aside to listen to some Led Zeppelin. It has been recommended before and they are said to have some iconic stuff amongst their albums. ---
