I'm listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young's Deja Vu album. At home, I've been listening to the Pink Floyd anthology Echoes.
Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd
Hmmm, I guess that must be it, although my CD cover doesn't look like that.

Right now I am listening to "Nylon Smile" by Portishead.
How bout you?
I'm currently listening to Bitter
weet's Drama (here's a sample), which is kind of electronic-jazz-lounge-dance stuff. Funnily enough, the lead singer's vocals remind me a lot of the lead singer from Portishead's: that very white-bred SHHHH-sound on all her sibilants, like she's slurring her way through the words to sound like Billie Holiday. (I ain't fooled.) It's a lot like Portishead if Portishead were actually fun and not "the sexy soundtrack to narcolepsy."

I'm alternating between:
Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust [Bonus Track]
by Sigur Ros (thanks to NPR for featuring track 2 which hooked me)
and
Shostakovich: Jazz Suites Nos. 1 & 2; The Bolt Suite; Tahiti Trot
(not this album, can't find the one I have) but the second waltz section of Suite for Jazz Orchestra No 2 is fantastic!
Sometimes I Dream A beautiful CD from the talented Greek Tenor Mario Frangoulis. One of my favorite tracks on the ablum is a duet of Nights in White Satin with Justin Hayward ( lead singer of The Moody Blues). It is sand in Italian except for Justin Haywards part. The whole CD is incredible though Hijo de la Luna is my other favorite track. (After I posted this I started to listen to the CD again and realized I forgot how much I also love Luna Rossa and decided I needed to link this track as well)
I've also been listening to a couple of different Kay Starr albums. There has always been something about her voice that grabs me. Especially on songs like Wheel of Fortune, Changing Partners, Rock and Roll Waltz, and P.S. I Love You.
Oh great!!! This place is going to be as dangerous as the book clubs. Now I have to make a "musiclists" tag. I love it, keep 'em coming.
Today's selection is:
Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor
Because I have to concentrate (QCing at work) and relax (medical testing later). Ugh!

Just popping in for the new thread. Great! Better pop out soon, already got sidetracked by a couple of B&N selections in the posts. I'm listening to Vladimir Ashkenazy "Favourite Chopin"
Favourite Chopin but getting ready to take my walk which requires Bob Marley's "Legend", especially "Buffalo Soldier" which I sometimes play over and over to keep up the pace.

I can't recall "Nights in White Satin"being recorded by anyone except The Moody Blues..Will try listening to it on Pandora..if my connection holds firm out here in the woods...Very interested..Thanks for posting...V
I'm listening to
Definitive Collection of Patti Labelle. She has always been one of my favorite artists and this CD combines some of my favorite songs. I know some of you may find some of the songs cheesey but I can't help but smile and cheer up when I hear them.
New Attitude (Perfect 80's Song and Video)
Stir It Up (Another Perfect 80's Song and Video)
