What Mac are you listening to lately?
 

So all this talk of who listens to what eras of the bands, who likes what songs on what albums, and (in the Stevie forum) who is just burnt out these days, has me wondering: What Mac or Mac-related music is everyone listening to these days? And for that matter, what else is in heavy rotation in everyone's CD players and iPods?

To answer for myself: Before this week, I don't think I'd listened to any Mac-related music for at least a month or more. But since mp3s of Lindsey's Soundstage performance surfaced, I've been listening to those a lot, and to balance out the Lindsey with a little Stevie, I listened to Wild Heart the other day for the first time in a long time. Then the "Who shuns..." thread has got me listening to a lot of Peter Green-era stuff, specifically The Original Fleetwood Mac, The Pious Bird of Good Omen, and Blues Jam in Chicago.

Other than that, this week I've been listening to Jay-Z, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and Super Furry Animals, with a little Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits thrown in for good measure. And Wynton Marsalis's new live album, which is really great. I guess it's been an eclectic week, to say the least. Now I need to go pick up Neil Young's new record somewhere, and maybe Ryan Adams's as well.

At the moment it is basicly Lindsey's soundstage, Dougal Reed's coverrecord of Rumours, Gift Of screws. And Tusk. But Tusk is on or in my player since 1979. All other records are just passing by. Tusk's always been the structural food for my hifi.

I have been listening to Lindsey Soundstage and Fleetwood Mac Penguin. But I just put on Mirage so I am sure I will be listening to it a lot.

:o :o Ok, this kinda pains me to admit publicly, but I've been listening to solo Stevie concert boots lately (mainly because I'm just now catching up on a two-year backlog of CD burning).

The MOST recent:
Live At Jones Beach 1994
Cloaks & Daggers (Live in Chicago 1986)

and...what do you think of it???

The rumours & tusk-one :nod:

I listen to a lot of Tusk era. That album never gets old.

Others in my rotation at the moment:

Lindsey's Soundstage
Stevie's OSOTM era

Behind The Mask, both the album & a demos/outtakes bootleg compilation.

On the FM tip Tusk and Mirage. On the Stevie tip, the box set disc 1 and 3. On the what other tip Depeche Mode Black Celebration, Music for the Masses and all three best of DM single cd's! And just FYI, I have been watching the FM Largo MD concert alot!

'75 or '79?

79! When Lindsey was messing with her on stage during Angel!

None, actually. None. For many months.

Fleetwood Mac -
Mostly White Album, Tusk, The Dance, SYW, and relative concerts

Stevie:
Belladonna (album+tour) , Wild Heart (album+Tour), Street Angel (tour), TISL, Gold Dust and Two Voices tours, plus a lot of demos.

Lindsey
Go Insane (I've bought it recently so I'm still in the constant listening phase), OOTC, GOS demos, Soundstage.
