I listen to music a lot so nothing new for me. Have to agree with Lettice, Scott Walker had a fabulous voice. His No Regrets album is one of my favourite of all time.

Early soulful Bee Gees tracks, Simon and Garfunkel, mostly wistful music. Still love it. Straight back to University when I hear these.

Music is the bane of my life, can't get away from its hateful, whining notes. Everywhere you go people assume you want to hear their highly annoying music.

Never owned any CDs but I once, when I was 15, bought 'American in Paris/Rhapsody in Blue' as an LP - played it almost to extinction.
I remember telling spooky stories to my friends accompanied by RIB. Good times.

Have never owned any music since. Bliss.

Nora Jones. Lots of memories associated to her album. I don't listen to it often for that reason.

Same as Alima for me, I think that LP came out in 1969,
I bought the CD a couple of years ago and it’s still lovely for the most part, to listen to.One or two songs a bit dated, but generally brings back so many happy memories.

Love Motown Mick. Tamla Pamla as someone used to say.

While I work :
I've been playing George Michael's " Ladies and Gentlemen " CD, some lovely songs on that.

Cilla tomorrow.

Not an easy question for me to answer, there are too many in my collection that jerk my memory. I find a lot of music evokes a memory in a way nothing else does. Some are happy memories even when the music itself is quite melancholy and others are sad when the music is upbeat. Music is so evocative of place, time and person/people. These include David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - teenage heartthrob and Pink Floyd's Division Bell - University years, etc etc etc...

I loved him too, Lettice
Maybe have a Roy Orbison wallow some time.

Staying in and searching through CDs, I have had an afternoon of teenage angst. Scott Walker, so beautiful, so soulful, whoever broke his heart and inspired all those sad, sad, melodies did a real job. His looks, his baritone, oh how I loved him and joined him in his wallows of lost loves that never leave you. I've had a thoroughly lovely time.
