I've been listening to a wider variety of music than usual lately because I have been given a record player. I don't have many albums at all, and only one modern piece. So, I've been listening to the soundtrack of The King and I, Gorillaz (debut), Chopin's Fantasie, The White Album (Beatles), and Homework (Daft Punk).
I'd say that you have the foundation for an interesting collection. I've been collecting for a while, it's a lot of fun. Enjoy it!
I plan on it! I have an album of 50 classical composes, but that's with my aunt. It's a nice find, but at the time I didn't have a player, and she had Grandfather's. I also have Amos Moses and The Preacher and the Bear by Jerry Reed, but I'll admit I don't enjoy it. I bought him from a yard sale, just to say I have a 45.
Listened to Jim O'Rourke, The Shins, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin and Guns and Roses. The guys I played in a band with in high school just released a new album. Here it is: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/spiralcrush1 If you listen to one of their songs, make sure it's "Electric Life." -It's pretty damn catchy. I also listened to the best of Roxy Music:
I don't really like Imagine Dragons but I heard this cover on Spotify sessions. They say what they're going to play then the audience giggles while the singer explains that he likes the song. I wanted to find that version but I didn't look very hard. I love a good cover so I'll check those out
Every year, as soon as summer begins, I remember the summer of 2000, when I watched the Digimon Movie with my 2nd (1st?) grade crush (and watching it a million more times on VHS with my brother and sister. So whenever summer comes around I pop in the Digimon Movie soundtrack, which was straight up a who's who of some of the best late 80s and late 90s tracks ever. I know it's got a 25% on Rotten Tomatoes and I'm probably never going to watch the movie again for the sake of my nostalgia, but I will listen to this soundtrack forever. Also P4 which I played during the summer as well.
I've been jamming out to this song all week.
This album's on repeat in my car right now. I'm learning this movement for an audition. I hate playing solo Bach on the bass. I'm also learning an excerpt from this for the same audition
