What are you listening to right now?

Quote from slowdancer

I also listen to music as often as I have the occasion to (3 - 4 albums a day, at weekends even more). But differently to Noni, COT or Ned Flanders123 I do not listen to so many bands and albums. I own around 1,200 albums. But there are only around 500 albums, I listen to regularly more or less and around 200, I know every note and line of. If I get a new album, I usually keep listening to it 10 or 15 times in a row until I know it quite well. I wonder if Noni, COT or Ned can do the same considering the huge amount of albums, they have. I guess there are different approaches to listening to music. One is, to get to know as much as possible, the other one is to really get into, what you have.

I don't mean to criticize, it is just an observation.

I'm in the same camp as you. I have around 300 albums, an not enough time to listen as I'd like, but I don't really feel the need to own more than I have the chance to hear.

I remember where I was when I first heard COTC. It was 1974 at a friend of a friend's house. I was 16 years old. This guy had a state of the art turntable and sound system. I was blown away. To this day, I still enjoy COTC more than any other Supertramp album. I think I'll play it now. First bit of music for me today

"If Then Else" by The Gathering

This debut by Ted Nugent still holds up today as one of the finest hard rock albums of the 70s

Odd name for a band, but they were quite popular here in the states. The hits off this one were "Every Time I Think Of You" and "Head First."

Singer John Waite went on to have a successful solo career in the 80s.

John Waite. Wasn`t that one of The Waltons. The Pa if I remember correctly.

Golden Brown is from the album La Folie.

I've always loved The Carpenters. This album has all the great hits, and then some!

No, you've mixed John Boy with Ralph Waite (the father)

This is John Waite

Quote from Noni

When I discovered this, I wanted to find a greatest hits album with loads of material on it. This album certainly has it... My other greater hits Carpenters album is purely called the greatest hits and may have only 12 tracks on it... I do have 3 others albums by them

Yes, and their Christmas album is a delight too
