^ I rest my case : ) - same thing happened to :- trick is to try and listen to it as though you never heard it before, most difficult.
Today I am listening to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John. It's been forty-two years ... I felt it was time I gave it a try.
So, what do you think? There are quite a few artists/bands where I have never listened to a whole album, as they have released so many singles. Elton is one of them. I have only ever listened to about one Stones album. The only Beatles albums I have listened to in their entirety are Sgt. Pepper and Yellow Sub, and Yellow Sub is only half an album. Never listened to a whole Otis Redding album. I may have large compilations by these people, just not their original Meisterwerke.
GYBR was OK - started strongly but then it just tailed off. I could have waited another 40 years no problem. I always buy whole albums but the only time I listen to albums these days is the first time I listen to the songs. After that, everything gets shuffled. Yeah. I'm a shuffler
My brother in law. Writes all his own stuff, based on Les Paul style playing, 30s, 40s, 50s. He uses no backing tracks just plays a base track himself then plays over the top of it. He uses some very old tape echo machines etc. Something to chill to really, not to everyone's taste but he is talented. Any guitarist out there will appreciate this. He's been on the BBC and is shortlisted for the Jools Holland show and has played some gigs in L.A. He has just made an album and has it on Spotify etc, http://open.spotify.com/album/1gmOQB41jAlVOQsAxpfycv
