Now spinning: "Liege & Lief" by Fairport Convention (1969).
I was introduced to this fantastic album at 19, and it instantly gave me an abiding love of folk-rock. Sandy Denny was an incredible talent, sadly taken too soon. I want her version of "Who Knows Where the Time Goes?" played at my funeral

Now spinning: "Abbey Road" by The Beatles.
I confess this cracking album by the Fab Four often gets overlooked at Corwyn Towers, in favour of "Sgt Pepper" (my favourite) or "Revolver" (their best album). But this is solid gold. Shown is the 2019 anniversary remix on picture disc.

Now spinning: "Songs For The Deaf" by Queens of the Stone Age (2002).
One of the most original and best rock albums of this century, SFTD is all killer and no filler. Josh Homme takes us on a speed rock road trip across the desert from LA to Joshua Tree. No one else sounds like QotSA!

Now spinning: "Judgment Night OST" various artists (1993)
The movie was well directed and edited, but the plot ... ugh... as one character says, "Nothing about tonight makes any sense". But the music - a series of original collaborations between rock/metal bands and hip-hop acts is fucking awesome!
