What are you listening to in 2022 and why might anyone be interested

Inspired by @Isca_Dumnoniorum posting a few days back, the final 1983 studio album by The Police.
Original pressing which looks for all the world that it is on standard black vinyl, but is actually groovy purple :grinning:

Black Sabbath. I never play much heavy metal. Thanks @Debs. Now I feel like playing the self titled debut album of Aerosmith as well. :wink:

That’s actually their first album, not the “sophomore” one. The second album was The Family That Plays Together (also terrific).

Love this raw sounding concert, currently streaming on Tidal.

The band never got the recognition they really deserved back then.

Weather Report - ‘8.30’ (1979). Classic fusion live double album from Weather Report to end the decade. The tracks here cover much of the mid 1970s WR work from ‘Sweetnighter’ to the iconic ‘Heavy Weather’. This is the best version of ‘Black Market’ I’ve heard and I would say the same about ‘Teen Town, ‘Scarlet Woman’ and ‘Birdland’. My top track is the ‘Badia/Boogie Woogie Waltz Medley’ which really gives new life to this music. Classic stuff.
