This is one of the first symphonic works my father asked me to listen to from beginning to end when I was a rebellious asshole. It was life changing for me. Yesterday's version was by the Seoul Philharmonic. A surprisingly good rendering. Recommended.

Even if the rest of the album sucked (which it doesn't), it would still be a classic based solely on these two songs: Hold On and House Where Nobody Lives.

I have been deep into a Robin Trower blues vein the last few days. What started it was finding a rare recording of a show at the Kiel Auditorium (St. Louis) from 1980. From there I have been exploring other live recordings as well. Just yesterday at a Rasputin Music in San Jose (check them out if you're in Northern California) I found a 2-CD release called "State to State: Live 1974 to 1980" and there is some spectacular playing on there.

I can honestly say that I've never listened to a Biebs tune. Not that I've purposely avoided it but they don't play that stuff on the satellite stations I hear. But if I did, I might very well drink port while doing so!

OK well, I didn't think about including Whiskeytown... in which case that's a pretty fine five-pack of albums you listed.
Stranger's Almanac is way up there for me. Can't say I've listened much to Pneumonia, but I will pay more attention to it this weekend.
And Cold Roses probably hovers just below my top five - and definitely features one of my favourite songs in Let It Ride.

I mostly like Neil Young. He has done some "interesting" stuff. And when he's bad, he's really quite terrible.
I've been listening to the Deep Tracks channel on Sirius a lot lately. Some interesting stuff. Today I turned it on and got audio before I got a display of what was playing. I knew instantly it was Robin Trower even though I'd never heard the track. Very distinctive sound.

Beethoven Piano Sonatas - I've decided to try to listen to all 32 in order over the next few days. I saw Daniel Barenboim perhaps then in a set of 8 concerts in the mid 80s. I was astounded. I've since soured on his interpretations of most things but that's another story. I'm listening to a complete set recorded by Jean Bernard Pommier. In previous listens I've enjoyed his "light touch" on the earlier sonatas but found it not to fit as well with the late ones.
