I almost never post on head-fi, but I really like music more than audio equipment so this seems like a fitting place to start talking.  So what the hell, right?
 
Well more than 5 CDs, so I'll break it into more than one post:
 
Björk - Biophilia.  I really wasn't a fan of Volta so I was a bit hesitant to get this, but I'm really, really glad I did.  A return to form and as far as I'm concerned her best yet.
 
Radiohead - King of Limbs.  After a few spins I've not gotten into this one yet. I haven't given up hope yet, though.
 
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake.  When I was a bit younger I used to really love PJ Harvey's aggressive, poetic lyrics and her raw sound, but lately it's just sounded a bit adolescent and angst-ridden for me.  This is completely different from her older stuff, but seems like an evolution and in that way is unsurprising.  I'm really liking this one.
 
Lightning Bolt - Earthly Delights.  Really wasn't a fan of Hypermagic Mountain, but really love Ride the Skies and especially Wonderful Rainbow.  This one's not quite as good as WR, but composition-wise it's a lot better than HM.  Plus the recording/production values seem a lot better than their earlier stuff.
 
Lightning Bolt - Lightning Bolt (aka, "The Yellow Album").  I haven't listened to it the whole way through yet, and not sure I will.  It just seemed like I should have it since I have all their newer albums.  Maybe one day.

Mekons - I Have Been to Heaven and Back: Hen's Teeth and Other Lost Fragments of Unpopular Culture Vol. 1.  Never heard much of the Mekons before and this is a bunch of b-sides-- so probably not entirely representative of their albums-- but I've been enjoying it, some of older tracks very much so.
 
Black Moth Super Rainbow - Falling Through a Field.  The one CD I've bought recently that I have no interest in hearing again.
 
Cornelius - Point.  Loved Fantasma and love this even more.  The production values seem out of this world.  Listening to this on my HDP and HD650s is an absolutely otherwordly experience
 
Wagon Christ - Toomorrow.  Fun, but not as good as Vibert's foray as Plug, in my opinion.  "Foray"?  That's not the right word.
 
The Orb - Orblivion.  God, I haven't heard this since I was 18 (when it had just come out!) and I completely forgot what it was like.  Quite enjoyable.

Mouse on Mars - Iaori Tahiti.  Only listened to this one once, but I liked what I heard.  I'll definitely give this another go.
 
 
Caribou - Yeti (EP).  Not my favorite of my recent acquisitions, but still good.  Plus it's only 15 minutes.
 
Neu! - Neu!  Haven't actually listened to this one yet.
 
The Magnetic Fields - The Charm of the Highway Strip.  Haven't listened to this one either, but I enjoyed i, so thought I would give it a go.
 
...Plus a bunch of jazz and a handful of blues prior to these.  I don't just listen to electronic and experimental, I swear!
 
I must have been feeling lonely since my girlfriend is away.  I'll stop prattling now, I promise.

Howler - America Give Up
Of Mice & Men - The Flood
Mackelmore - The VS. EP
Robert Johnson - The King of Delta Blues
Sleeping With Sirens - Let's Cheers To This
 
I listen to a wide variety of music, lately I've been getting into undergroup Hip-Hop, Indie and the usual Hardcore/Post-Hardcore

Bought it used from a record shop in Oslo. Just a little wipedown needed.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Robert Johnson (as well as Blind Lemon Jefferson, Lighnin' Hopkins, Son House, etc.) and I can't believe I haven't been listening to it all these years. No wonder it was so influential to future musicians. So simple but so sublime.

 

[liamstrain]

People Take Warning - Murder Ballads and Disaster Songs, 1913-1938
Rusty Dedrick - Salute to Bunny 
 
And since the write up here finally got to me:
Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul (Remastered)

 

[Permagrin]

Lot of upcoming SACD releases that are gonna drain my wallet even more:

Billy Joel - The Stranger (MoFi) (excited about this one!)

plus some Ray Charles which I have never owned any of his music: The Genius of Ray Charles, The Genius Sings the Blues, Ray Charles and Betty Carter, Genius + Soul = Jazz, and Live in Concert (actually got the privilege to attend one of his shows in 2001 or 2002, blew my mind, that's when I understood the praise )

rest are Japanese SHM (ouch!):

Dire Straits - Making Movies, Communique, Alchemy (also Brothers In Arms but I already have that on SACD, :mad: )
Queen - Jazz, The Game, The Works

/shakes fist, ears await

I completely agree, great music. I always use to hear all these artists quoting them as incredibly influential, and finally, I started listening. Now I know why they spawned an era of music.

Though it's a tough call.....I'd probably agree with that.  I do love me some Rated R though.........

Rated R would definitely be next.
