@Jimmer-jammer I think I'm familiar with Cat's In The Cradle, it's very well-known and they play it on the radio from time to time, so yeah, that one's a classic for sure. I might buy a best of or something one day.;

@TheBrandedSwordsman Nerija is fantastic. I’m really enjoying them. Thanks for the recommendation!

@Jimmer-jammer That's great, you're welcome, I've seen them live once and they were fantastic, as a guitarist I especially love the guitar work of Shirley Tetteh. Do you know she was initially choosing between metal and jazz for a path to go down, but found the shred-work of metal a bit too challenging for her fingers ,felt more comfortable with jazz, so went down that route instead? Interesting eh?

@TheBrandedSwordsman that’s very interesting! I find their brand of jazz very accessible, groovy and fun. Sounds like you nabbed a pretty sweet vinyl. Congrats! Been on a bit of a Daft Punk tear myself as of late.

@Jimmer-jammer Cool! Daft Punk, that's more dance music isn't it? What do you think of Over-Nite Sensation by Zappa?

@TheBrandedSwordsman yes, though that’s definitely selling them short. They recently retired so I decided to go for a deep dive and am still in awe of their last release, ‘Random Access Memories‘. It’s one of my favourite vinyls. I’m listening to ‘Over Nite Sensation’ now as a refresher 😊 classic Zappa!

@Jimmer-jammer Did you know that that album (Over-Nite Sensation) features Tina Turner/the Ikettes doing some of the singing? Good stuff eh? Apparently Ike Turner said that he didn't want them credited on the final recording after he heard the tapes and said "What is this s*it?" Lol

@Jimmer-jammer What do you think of Zappa's keyboard/piano (if there is any piano , I haven't listened enough tbh) players on his various albums?

@TheBrandedSwordsman ha! I didn’t know that, but not too surprised by anything when it comes to Zappa. There’s definitely some keys on some of his tracks, his wide use of many different instruments and styles is all...interesting. He’s a bit of an enigma in popular music and I suppose that’s what I like most about his music.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I kind of got on a 90’s Grunge Rock kick this week, so put on some Soundgarden, Shinedown, and Fuel. So, basically just bouncing around from one decade to the next, like usual. As soon as I get sick of one, then I move on to another 😄

@TheBrandedSwordsman @Th3solution I’ve also been on a bit of a 90s grunge/indie rock kick. Sebadoh, Drop Nineteens, Built to Spill and such.

I've been stuck on A Perfect Circle and Greta Van Fleet lately. Singer for Greta is the reincarnation of early Robert Plant, an amazing voice.

@LordSteev i agree..never heard of them before untill i was watching an episode of lethal weapon which had me pulling my teeth out trying to find a led zeppelin song that didnt exist lol...he really is that uncanny..

Kick out the jams!

Jimmer-jammer

@TheBrandedSwordsman nice! I haven’t heard that one, outside of the song ‘tutu’. I didn’t get a chance to listen to anything particular today but I have Tom Petty’s ‘Mojo’ picked out for tomorrow.
