It’s not my kind of music for this old girl.
I’d be into ABBA, The Seekers, The Carpenters, Charley Pride, music from up to about the 1980’s. Having said there would still be some music that was published that I would like.
I also love Neil Diamond, Elaine Paige, Barbara Dickson, Whitney Houston not forgetting some Classical and folk

I have been adding music to my Apple Music library throughout the year.
Mainly music from the 1980s and 1970s along with some House music as well.

I know I have picked up one or two others here and there. The two absolutely new ones to my pile, both by Nightwish…. Playtime/Storytime, and Ghost Love Score.

Sorry, can’t resist 😉
The only music I’ve bought this year was in a charity shop in the Lake District. 10 classical CDs for a pound – perhaps they are going out of style?
But a few of my favourite youtube oldie plays this year in no particular order have been:
Fascinating Aida (try “prisoner of gender”)
Dead and Co (thanks to Pru)
Indian Ragas
Buena Vista Social Club / Cuban songs – “Chan chan”!
Philip Glass (esp. Koyaanisqatsi)
Patti Smith
Fairport Convention
Pink Floyd Echoes, the surfing video– and getting really up to date, [blush]
Pink

Echoes is such a brilliant song…
and if you haven’t heard it yet, there’s an instrumental version by Rodrigo y Gabriela that is so worth it.

I picked up the special release they had for Record Store Day, under the name “the Dee Gees”. It called Hail Satin and side 1 is all Bee Gees covers! It’s brilliant.

Yes. I wasn’t able to get that one, but I love their Bee Gees covers. Then again, I love everything Dave Grohl does.

I actually tend to like some of the things he does outside of the Foos better! Probot and Them Crooked Vultures are two of my favorite records.

I listened to a lot of B-52s and ELO music this year. I bought a couple of “best of” albums from them.

The only new album I bought this year was “Voyage” by ABBA. First time I’ve bought a new release on vinyl since… well… I can’t remember when. Everything else I’ve purchased recently has been a reissue of some sort. I am a sucker for fancy 180-gram deluxe reissues of records I already own.
So I guess by default “Voyage” is my pick for album of the year. Congrats to ABBA. I do like most of the tracks on it though.

Abba seems to be a poplar choice around here!

Got that for Christmas – on my To Hear pile, together with the Puppini Sisters, the late Victoria Wood ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFI5Jl_IqsE ) and some Imelda May. Hows that for eclectic?

Who buys albums anymore?
I stream just about everything I listen to. If I really like it, I’ll download it…

I just have so much in the way of music that I would have to buy another house just for my music collection to be on a record, a tape, a disk….
