What Are You Listening To Right Now?

I'm of the opposite as I'm completely confused as to how you guys feel this is hard to do???
Sorry for not expressing myself clearly enough. I have almost all of my albums named, organized (folders) and tagged just fine, no probs and can find anything I remember and want to listen to or e.g. anything by any artist in an instant. My issue is just the sheer amount of tunes - aka soo much stuff, so little time and my need to find something that fits the moment as closely as possible from the top of my aging head.
Even if it's 'only' a couple thousand albums (I've heard of some folks here owning x times as many) that adds up to something like one album a day for the next 10 years without any repetition (rinse and repeat, lol).

...

Anyway, been seeing John McLaughlin on his 'Liberation Time' tour last year but only bought the album a couple days ago, incredible performance for an octogenerian.

My fav part of this song has to be the chords showcasing the guitar distortion. It's like a warm blanket that envelopes your senses. I used to love it when one of my fellow band mates from HS used a similar sounding distortion on his Zoom and Boss pedals. :metal:

George Gershwin ( "that nice boy from Brooklyn" ) LMAO :notes: :thumbsup:

Gershwin plays Gershwin: The Piano Rolls
(1916-1927/ 1992 Nonesuch Label)

George Gershwin made 130 piano rolls between 1916-27;

28 were recorded and released in 1998 on two Nonesuch CDs. This particular release (vol.#1) has quite a few obscure Gershwin songs, including his very first tune, "When You Want 'Em, You Can't Get 'Em, When You've Got 'Em, You Don't Want 'Em."
Certainly such tunes as "Novelette In Fourths," "So Am I," and "Idle Dreams" are long forgotten but worth reviving. Among the other highlights of the fascinating and highly enjoyable recital are "Sweet and Lowdown," "Swanee" and a 14-minute rendition of "Rhapsody In Blue." The 1933 item is a bit unusual, for it is a two-piano rendition of "An American In Paris" that lasts over 16 minutes and was arranged by Frank Milne. Well worth exploring. (Qobuz)

I look at all of the music presented here and think that maybe I should move out of my comfort zone (classic rock) and try some of these. Maybe soon.
If you do, I recommend a subscription to Qobuz. It's easy to explore new music, and to buy it, if you so desire. I think my basic subscription costs $10.83/month. The quality even of their 16/44.1 music is very good.

For today - I've not ever listened to this music, but discovered that Todd
went from Paul McCartney-esque to half crazy during these three years.
Decided to hear it for myself. Qobuz at 24/192 resolution.

Todd Rundgren - The Ballad of Todd Rundgren.png
So sad, so relevant today.

Todd Rundgren - Something:Anything.png
The first three "sides" of this album are one-man music, meaning completely
overdubbed. Up to this time, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder had also made
one-man albums. The 4th "side" is a real band - for example on "Hello It's Me."

By 1972, Todd had completely changed his tune and was into psychedelic
drugs, so no more "pop" music. This album is like one long acid trip on a disc.
But, he was recruiting superb musicians ... playing on the album are Michael &
Randy Brecker, David Sanborn and Rick Derringer. I like it better than the first
two albums, but then I always was into a good trip. Kinda feels like Zappa.
