Will you tell me what CD is currently on your player or the last one you listened to?
I've got Rufus Wainright's Unfollow the Rules ,its not been off all day .

I had to go and look - so long since I've listened to it - it's Classical Arias. DH has usually got the TV. blaring so themusic doesn't get a chance to be appreciated.

Since it’s Advent Sunday, and I’m about to make the first mince pies (once dh has finished replacing the under-counter lights) it’s Essential Carols, from the choir of King’s College Cambridge. ?

Ooh good idea Witzend!
Walk under Ladders by Joan Armatrading here at the moment.

Annapops good choice. Just been listening to the Beach boys in the car reminds me of summer.

Eva Cassidy ‘Songbird’. My CDs have been packed away in a couple of boxes since I moved over 3 years ago. I’ve just taken delivery of a cd/tape/record/radio player and am beginning to work my way through them. Quite emotional as many of them were DH’s. I’ll start on the Christmassy ones next week ?

Western Stars, Bruce Springsteen.

We still have CD’s as we have an old but expensive music system that gives us far better quality sound than modern equipment. We don’t play tapes on it anymore, though! ?

Not music but I’m listening to shardlake revelation on the iPlayer

hollysteers Sun 29-Nov-20 15:31:19

I only like music when I’m driving; Classic FM and Radio 3 go well with lovely countryside, particularly Ralph Vaughan Williams. Then pop music for a change.
At home, LBC.

The Beautiful South's Greatest Hits is in my CD player right now.

One day last week, I couldn't face playing dgd's usual nursery rhyme/songs CD for the millionth time, so put that on for her to dance to instead.
She didn't seem to mind, though luckily she doesn't understand the lyrics yet - I don't fancy trying to explain some of them to a two year old!

My son gave me an Alexa for my birthday so I can have any music I want depending on my mood.

Merlotgran I love my cd's ,I have over 2000 and it gives me great pleasure to pick one at random and read the sleeve notes and lyrics .I buy something new every other week .Its the one thing I wont part with when/if we downsize .

Marydoll Sun 29-Nov-20 16:56:22

I'm listening to my own eclectic collection on Spotify streamed from my phone through the Sonos system.

Vickysponge Sun 29-Nov-20 17:04:40

Sarah Brightman - eden

Nannarose Sun 29-Nov-20 17:06:06

Bellowhead because I need to get moving!
But a nod to Jane10 (Leon Redbone - my little GC loves his polly-wolly-doodle!) and Marmight (Eva's brother Dan was my last-but-one before lockdown live concert)

M0nica Sun 29-Nov-20 17:36:03

Beethoven piano sonatas. Sorry if that sounds too high brow.

I do also play CDS by the folk group White Sail, which DDil belongs to.

Davida1968 Sun 29-Nov-20 17:47:13

Lowell George: one of his albums: 'Thanks, I'll eat it here." (DH's CD, but I like it.)

Grandma70s Sun 29-Nov-20 17:59:19

M0nica, please don’t apologise for being highbrow! We could do with more of it here. To me that’s just normal, not highbrow. We don’t see people aplogising

I’m not listening to anything at the moment, but if I did it would certainly be classical.

Grandma70s Sun 29-Nov-20 18:00:35

Sorry, posted too soon. Was about to say we don’t see people apologising for being lowbrow.

Anniebach Sun 29-Nov-20 19:09:52

Fats Domino

Cherrytree59 Sun 29-Nov-20 19:11:29

Cherrytree59 Sun 29-Nov-20 19:12:42

Greyduster Sun 29-Nov-20 19:14:19

Freddie Kempf playing Bach’s Goldberg Variations.

M0nica Sun 29-Nov-20 19:14:46

Grandma70s, it just looked so pretentious.

paddyanne Sun 29-Nov-20 19:17:22

Cherrytree59 I love Paolo late at night with the lights off and a nice glass of red..and maybe a wee dance around the room with the OH .Nice way to end a day .
