What's your current favorite CD? [Archive]

So, what's the current CD that you're excited about and recommending to everyone you meet? :D

For me, it's Gavin DeGraw's Chariot (http://www.gavindegraw.com/). :bouncy: It's been out a while, but they released a stripped down version of the album this past summer that has a nice blues sound to it. I actually prefer it to the original (rock) album he released. :ok: If you go to the website, you can hear the stripped down version of "Chariot".

And for anyone who watches, One Tree Hill (http://www.thewb.com/Shows/Show/0,7353,%7C%7C1490,00.html) on the WB, he sings the song at the beginning, "I Don't Want To Be". ;)

Current? Not sure that this is current, but I adore the Forrest Gump soundtrack. It has something for everyone.

For those people who love country like I do, I would say either Gretchen Wilson's "Here for the Party" or George Strait's "50 Number Ones."

Both Evanesence: Origin and Fallen are my absolute favorite CDs EVER. I recommend it to everyone :bouncy: even though its not quite new. Origin has some awesome songs on it, but its quite rare.

And who can forget the Masterhaper of Pern CD? ;)

It's not new by any means, but I'm listening a lot to INXS - Live Baby Live. Another current favorite is Ash - Free All Angels. I don't have their newest yet.

Favourite at the moment would be "American Idiot" by Greenday.
Great CD! :)

Bronze-Dragonrider

18th January 2005, 11:31 AM

I love Fallen. :ok: Never heard of Origin though. I'll have to look for it. Was it an earlier CD?

Yes it was their first cd, but a small release, when they weren't even known. Now its very hard to find, but you can get them easily enough on downloading programs such as LimeWire or Kazza (sp?)

You know, I haven't played a CD in full for a while now! I tend to put a music channel on the tv when downstairs or go silent in the bedroom!

Suppose it would have to be Maroon Five, which I've been listening to a lot in hubbys car! And a little at home when we had guests the other weekend!

No answer to this, as mine changes with my mood.... but I'd have to say the complelation CD that was done for my class reunion is close to the top. It contains songs that were popular during our senior year of school..and just listening to them can really stir the memories to crystal clarity!

Well, I did say "current" favorite. ;) You could always post a different answer tomorrow. :D

I know what you mean about songs and memories. I associate my teenage & college years with certain songs. I hear them and can usually tell you what year they were and what was happening at the time. :ok:

Ohh...just realized I can listen to it here at w**k!! :bouncy:

Jay_Quessir

24th January 2005, 02:19 PM

My favorite at the moment is Kelly Clarkson--Breakaway

I love the song (unreleased) #4--Because of You

It is so sad and so cool. I can listen to it 100 times and still want to listen to it again. One of the only songs I can say that about. It is a great CD and she is finally breaking away from that American Idol fame and coming into her own type.

Just Bob

25th January 2005, 01:54 PM

The CD I listen to most at the moment is Elephant, from the White Stripes. I try not to listen to any CD too much, though, to avoid getting tired of it.

My current favorite CD is from Nickel Creek (http://www.nickelcreek.com/listen.htm). I can't tell you which album it is because it's a copy from a friend and he didn't put any titles on it. :roll:

Anyway, they started out as a Bluegrass band, but they add lots of other musical influences in with their music. Very cool sounding. :cool: Here's their bio if anyone's interested. ---> :bouncy: (http://www.nickelcreek.com/bios.htm)

And just for the record, I hate traditional Bluegrass. :crazy: This band is different - considered Alternate Bluegrass, I think. At any rate, I like it. :ok:

If you can play music on your computer, just put the CD in while you're online and it should query the CDDB for you and you'll get the track listing.

On the way to work I'm listening to Ash - Meltdown. At home a mixture of some of my current fave songs.

That Melua girl is certainly not played in our household! She's the one who happened to sing about acting seventeen didn't she? Irritated the hell out of me that song! And then someone got the better half (not Jayson, the other better half!) a 'copied' version as a present...

I've got a few:

The Trinity by Sean Paul-Sean Paul always puts out good albums, and this one is no exception. I recommend "We Be Burnin' " and "Eye Deh a Mi Knee".
Goodies by Ciara-"One, Two Step" is simply addicting.
Love.angel.Music.Baby. by Gwen Stefani-With Eve and Pharrell on the album, how can you not want to listen to "Rich Girl" and "Hollaback Girl"?

I also have a few songs that I am currently obsessed with:
"I'm Outta Love" by Anastacia (which I'm currently listening to)
"Introducing" by O'Ryan ft. Young Rome
Any Song by Harry and the Potters (I love "Cornelius Fudge is an @$$".)
"Gimme the Light" by Sean Paul

Celtic band from the states. They've got some serious songs, some (mostly) funny songs, and all around great music---but then, I love folk and old Irish ballads, so a revamp of the genre is like a second god to me. :erm: Anyway, they've got a few tracks up on their site that you can listen to.

Difficult to say really (though only about 20% of my music is on CD, the majority is vinyl), As far as new stuff goes, the latest by Mostly Autumn (Storms Over Still Water) is definitely up there, but Within Temptation's most recent album (The Silent Force) is also excellent. All time favourite though is still Renaissance Live at Carnegie Hall, recorded 1975, released 1976. I've almost literally worn out my vinyl copy, so I now have it on CD, but I'm after another decent vinyl one.

Amarantine, by Enya.

It's her best album yet. The same soothing music, but with a certain joyous quality you don't find in the other albums. It also breaks from tradition in that some of the songs are in "Loxian", an imaginary language that Roma Ryan developed. It's derived from elvish. Very flowing and rich sounding. Latin is also conspicious by its absence. Then there's the Japanese song, "Sumiregusa". :heartbeat

If you're an Enya fan, you won't be disappointed, and if you're not...well. Just listen to "The river sings" or "Sumiregusa". You just might be converted! :D

13th December 2005, 11:50 AM

At the moment my favourites are The Libertines' self-titled album and also Bright Eyes' "Lifted or The Story is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground".
