When I'm bicycling I listen to Amazon music on my cell phone. I pick selections that I either don't own or ones I haven't heard in awhile.
These are the last 3 I listened to:

I don't know about others, but I often go on a WIKIPEDIA rampage and loose 2-3 hours. Somebody may mention a name, or a band that I had not heard of...so off to wiki I go. I just got lost reading about a guy I've never heard of. Vince Taylor. All you UK folks will know him. WTF?? He sounded like a complete train wreck. WOW!!!!!

My favourite Wilson song bar none. I've just stumbled upon this version, which I'm sure every one here has already seen, but it's simply too good not to share again. I'll also confess that she's quite a striking looking lady of many talents.

I've not seen that particular one. It's one of my favorite Wilson songs as well. When he played it live last year in Chicago, it was powerful. My wife and I were totally blown away. In fact, the whole concert was astounding. Loud, yes, still...mostly my jaw was on the floor.

Thanks for the recommendation @The56Kid
Enjoying this. IMO the best they have done in quite awhile. Nice quiet vinyl.

I’m not sure if I should put this here or in the “ear worm” thread. Anyway, I’ve been listening to David Bowie - When I Live My Dream

It's pretty sweet, isn't it? And let me tell you - this damn album is more addictive than crack cocaine! The first two songs are very good, but the album really gets going with song #3 - Last Man On Earth. From that point onward, this is a modern space rock masterpiece. Still blows my mind that Dave Brock is writing and producing music this good at 78 years of age. Rock on, Mr. Brock!!!

Just ordered a near mint vinyl of Kenny Rogers & The First Edition. The cover is obviously not near mint...but I could generally care less about that. Vinyl this old is not going to look new on the outside. It's a first pressing from US. Hopefully it plays nice! I simply made an offer for half what they were asking, and within 5 minutes, it was mine.

Just finished ripping my "near mint" vinyl from first pressing - Kenny Rogers & The First Edition. This is from 1969, and I really love the album. It sounds just excellent, with great imaging, fidelity and very warm. I did add 4db of bass after I ripped it via Audacity. Removed a few clicks that slipped through and it sounds nearly perfect. Hard to believe it's 1969, and I love their rendition of Me And Bobby McGee. Of course, who doesn't like Ruby? Classic song, written by Mel Tillis.

The Reprise RP 6352 Stereo is the exact copy I have.

Just ripped my original 1988 MINT vinyl of David Lee Roth - Skyscraper.
Warner Brothers 9 25671-1

Diamond Dave really took a different turn (for the most part) on this album. Sure, you still have to put up with his silly lyrics, but the music itself is, to some degree, a bit experimental for him. I don't really know why, unless Steve Vai had more of a say and his guitar wizardry is on show. If you haven't heard the album, it's worth seeking out. It sounds amazing, and if I recall, the CD from back then sounds equally impressive.

There is a LOT of panning on this, which makes me wonder how it would upmix. On the other hand, it would perfect for someone to tackle the multi-tracks. Gotta be lots of them for this album. So much going on.

Old favorites packed in a box somewhere. Amazon music to the rescue.

 

[GOS]

OK, as much as I've listened to this album...dating back to 1976, when it was released....

HOW IS IT I DIDN'T KNOW MEATLOAF SANG LEAD VOCAL ON SEVERAL SONGS???? wtf up with that? Wow!!!!

For example, third song....Writing On The Wall. Meatloaf vocals!

 

[GOS]

OK, I think I've posted this video before...maybe a few years ago. But, c'mon. This is an absolute MONSTER version of Victim Of Changes by Judas Priest. Man oh man. Halford proves that his voice is no fake. He can hit those freaking notes live. If you are a fan at all, and haven't seen this. It needs to be seen on a large screen and played through your man-cave speakers. It's just hair raising.
