No matter how hard I have tried I just cannot understand or appreciate the late Drake's music.

Just kidding. Not everyone can love everything.

This is true. I bought his albums but eventually sold them on.

I now love the whole album of Bryter Layter, but it was the two tracks "At The Chime Of A City Clock" and "Poor Boy" that really sold me on it. Elsewhere I'd understand if you found whole songs with lyrics like "I could have been a signpost, could have been a clock / As simple as a kettle, steady as a rock." to be more than a little twee.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Eagles: Hotel California

I've been searching for a copy of that in good condition; I had one years ago, but.... 

I did, not so long ago, run across a copy of Don Henley's "Building the Perfect Beast"....great music (most important)...and the sound over my stereo!  They knew what they were doing (re sound engineers and producers) when they recorded that one!  Do you also have (and like) that album?

Best,

PD

No, to be fair, I never considered that there was anything twee about Drake. I simply just had no connection there.

I have "Five Leaves Left" and perhaps a boxed set of his too??  Must admit, that it's been a while since I've listened to his music.  Such a tragic ending to his young life...a very sensitive soul.  I should revisit it.

One of my all-time favorites right there. Astral Weeks was my favorite Van for a long time, but now I think I prefer this one.

TD:


I've been a Bruce fan for nearly 40 years, but it's been a long time since I actually listened to one of the older albums. I started listening to this one on the way home from a haircut tonight, and I'm enjoying it so much I might just go back and start with the second album (I'm not a huge fan of the debut) and go through several of 'em.

I'm also a fan of "The Boss"

No, I have not heard "Building the Perfect Beast".
"Hotel California" is one of those classic "albums in time" for me that relates to and evokes a particular time in my life.
I did have "Desperados" once but that seems to have evaded me somewhere along the way....

Yes, I do love HC....and would also love to get other Eagles albums.  Here's a listing of what is on "Building the Perfect Beast".  The hits from the album in the US:  "The Boys of Summer", "Note Enough Love in the World", "All She Wants to Do is Dance" and "Sunset Grill"

Thank you for that.

I'm listening to one of my favorite pop rock song of 70'' Mannfred Mann Earthband. I'm blinding by the light(long version), indeed, the guitarist is so incredible , keyboard fine,nice vocal skills.

James Taylor: Flag

Always loved this album. Listening to it now, I am wowed by the incredible sound quality, emotional singing and perfectly complimentary music.
