Just revisited an old CD - best record/CD recently revisited

Watched a Kate Bush documentary on BBC4 last night, so dug out the Kick Inside to listen to, for this mornings commute into leeds ...
Got in the car, and turned the radio on, and Moby "Play" was on .... so I left it on and listened from the begining... I quickly remembered, how good this record/CD was ...
So question is - best record/CD recently revisited?
mine is Moby - Play

 

Whats Going On by Marvin Gaye, The Who Sell Out and Pulp Different Class all listened to for the first time in ages last week

 

The Kate Bush documentary is brilliant.

Listened to 'Whatver I Say I am, That's What I'm Not' by the Arctic Monkeys last week for the first time in ages. Still remember every word. Awesomeness. Crap title though.

 

I've sort of being doing this for the past 2 and a half years, as I've been listening to my entire iTunes from A-Z whilst working (I work from home). So I've rediscovered albums that I used to listen to loads, but on the flip side I've endured albums that I can't understand why I have them in the first place!

Just up to Sam Cooke's Complete Singles Collection at the moment and I notice the next song is called Ee-Yi-Ee-Yi-Oh, so I'm not expecting it to be his greatest.

Recent thoughts are that the first Rutles album is fab, but they shouldn't have done the follow up, that half a dozen Rufus Wainwright albums on the trot is too much, that Saint Etienne weren't that good really, that Sade's first two albums were good, but I can't imagine when I'll next play them, that Ryan Adams suffers from the worst case of quality control since Neil Young, that Roykssop make music conducive to getting some work done, whereas Run DMC do not, that Roy Orbison has a fantastic voice, but would never have got through the heats on X Factor, that I should listen to Roxy Music a lot more than I do and that I have way, way too many Rolling Stones live albums.

Over the past few weeks I have heard the most awful ever sound put to tape around 20 times..."and now Keef's gonna sing one"

Edit: Ee-Yi-Ee-Yi-Oh wasn't as bad a I feared, but the next song, Just For You, is far better. Actually, I think James Hunter based his entire career on this song, and I don't say that in a bad way. If you've never heard of James Hunter and like Sam Cooke check him out. He plays guitar in Van Morrison's band, but has made several solo albums, and when Van Morrison raves about a white English bloke who sounds just like Sam Cooke you take notice.

 

Made me want to listen to Sam Cooke last played according to Itunes 14 October 2006. That's a long time to be Cooke free. Also made me glad I gave up on the Stones after Exile on Main Street.

 

Grandaddy. Listened for the first time in years on a recent trip and forgotten how great they were. Under the Western Freeway and the Sophtware Slump on CD. Good thread

 

Blind by Corrosion Of Conformity.

Early '90s crossover thrash type thing. More emphasis on metal than hardcore though. If that means owt to anyone.

 

Bryan Adams-Reckless

going to see him tonight on the 30th anniversary tour of that album,one of rock n rolls great live acts,no gimmicks just a few hours of top class songs.

 

Tekkin mi mam shes a massive fan and mi dad wouldn't go with her.

 

Now if I'd have been offered odds on you ever going to a Bryan Adams concert...

Tell yer what, at a quiet moment shout out 'Come Pick Me Up' and see if he gets as ar5ey as Ryan does.

Just finishing Sam Cooke, A Change Is Gonna Come. Still not sure whether his western songs work though. Three tracks by Sam Taylor Wood next. I'm in Love With A German Film Star that she did with Pet Shop Boys. It's quite good. Actually, Mark Reeder's Stuck In The 80s Mix is fab.

 

By the way, by the red hot chili peppers. Not listened to it in a few years. Reclaimed it from my brother and realised instantly why it's my all time favourite album.

 

Pyschocandy - The Jesus and Mary Chain

Refreshing my memory for Thursday in Manchester.

 

It was a birthday present for my mam and I even offered my dad £50 quid to go with her and he wouldn't have it. Mserable sod.

Love STW she really is great I will think of I'm IN love witha German Filmstar when the lighters come out tonight.

 

Few months ago met up with an old uni mate. As the beer flowed we remembered our prog albums and concerts of the mid 70s...amazingly our gert took note, and for my birthday she bought me a few albums we mentioned.

To further celebrate my illustrious birth we've just spent a fortnight on Lanzarote, thus giving me chance to play albums I hadn't listened to for 40 odd years. One of these was, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, by Genesis. Absolutely blown away by how good it still sounds...sadly their Foxtrot album sounded awfully dated...apologies to Watcher of the Skies...

 

(What's The Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis. Put it on in the car the other day, there isn't a weak track on that album.

 

Saw Corrosion of Conformity twice in 95, 1st time supporting Megadeth and the second opening Donington. Class band both times. Sadly very underated and I think they suffered when Pepper Keenan started with DOWN who took off more.

 

I listened to The Gift by The Jam last week for the first time in many years. Absolute quality.

 

The Men They Couldn't Hang....waiting for Bonaparte...brilliant, puts the Pogues to the sword

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, live from the Peppermint Lounge, The Cramps.
Came on shuffle last week, intro to Good Taste on Smell of Female, an utterly awesome noise I listened to in psycho swamp grunge heaven.

 

Wahey - I'm off to that gig too, can't wait!
