I also dig The Band which has always been a critics' favourite.<br /><br />Which of those musical discoveries would you recommend to me, knowing my taste in music?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03538905483110518568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281735.post-4188399879406775822012-01-26T07:04:07.116+11:002012-01-26T07:04:07.116+11:00Radio stations already aggressively apply compress...Radio stations already aggressively apply compression and limiting to all songs before they are played to ensure all volume is the same.

And now, much like my other posts, believe or not that Nina Simone album was another on my list of albums to consider..glad to hear the recommendation.<br /><br />Some of my musical discoveries this year...<br />Plan B - Defamation of Strickland Banks - really great concept album from a rapper who has moved to primarily singing soul...his voice is Smoky Robinson esque. worth checking out.<br /><br />Imelda May - Mayhem - rockabilly that works really well.<br /><br />Pajama Club - Neil Finn's project with his wife. Laden with bass lines, its different to a lot of his other work, but not too shabby.<br /><br />John Cale - Paris 1919. Very accessable album, and that title track is fantastic.<br /><br />Then I have got into a few albums based on your prior recommendations - Sufjan Stevens (Illinoise), Bob Seger (Stranger in Town), Tom Waits (Closing Time )<br /><br />Also used 2011 to finally purchase some well regaded classics like Thriller, Brothers in Arms, Born in USA, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, and the Band<br /><br />Thanks again for your posts...<br /><br />DeanoDeanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402296752349739844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281735.post-12920371844282215152012-01-21T12:06:52.507+11:002012-01-21T12:06:52.507+11:00Hey Jeremy

Most of the Hank songs you have mentioned I am familiar with - but as covers, he is a much covered artist.

I have had Unplugged in New York for quite a while now, and it is a gem of an album, but strangely, I don't often listen to it, despite the fact that I would consider it a classic. Will have to drag it out and have another listen. Love About a Girl though, brilliant track. <br /><br />I think Pete lent me the Bright Eyes album too, and I think I struggled getting over that opening track, although there is some quality on the album. <br /><br />Look forward to seeing the rest of the list...<br /><br />DeanoDeanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402296752349739844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281735.post-6063030765271399332011-02-13T11:18:13.734+11:002011-02-13T11:18:13.734+11:00Glad you're enjoying it Deano.
