What are you listening to in 2020 and WHY might anyone be interested?

With Mrs Pete away for a few days, time to roll out a few she finds difficult, loud. My fav 90s album Radiohead OK Computer. While I wouldn’t come to blows over wether it was the best album of the decade or not it is in imo a masterpiece.

Spot on, I’ll go out on a limb and say that I think OK Computer is every bit as good as DSOTM. There you go I’ve said it. I’m playing one more album and going to log off and hide. :+1::rofl::rofl::rofl:

From 1978, on UK vinyl, the debut album by the talented duo of Janice Marie Johnson and
Hazel Payne. Contains the global disco monster “Boogie Oogie Ooogie”. Great bass playing from Janice, too.

Bill Frisell - Valentine

Is there anyone else who plays like Bill Frisell? His clean bright tone, widely spaced intervals and the occasional rapid arpeggio linking these seemingly disparate notes? When it was only possible to hear three tracks on Qobuz I said it seemed quite a mixed bag of styles. Well that’s still true, of course, but there’s a degree of continuity throughout, which may just be the tone and flavour he creates. Who knows? It definitely warrants further listening, even his version of Bacharach’s What the World Needs Now, which provides the platform for some explorations of tonal variation around the fingerboard. Worth checking out.

More disco gorgeousness. Great 2-CD compilation of Odyssey’s greatest hits (and there were many of them). Contains, as you’d expect, the mighty “Going Back To Me Roots”.
