Last Album/CD that You Listened To . . . ?

It's so rare that I listen to a full album. With iTunes, Pandora, Spotify, etc, I'm constantly mixing my listening. But with that said, over the last several months, I have rekindled my relationship with Bob Dylan. I recently listened to most of his album Blonde on Blonde. It's simply a masterpiece.
Two other Dylan albums that aren't quite as celebrated but I find myself listening too frequently are Infidels and Oh Mercy.

Absolutely it counts . . ! It wasn't that long ago that it was holiday season.Originally posted by crysdawn:
Does Chicago 25 Christmas CD count?Includes my favorite Christmas song Child's Prayer. Love the trumpets from Chicago!!
Been cycling between "In the Silence" by Asgeir and "Pedestrian Verse" by Frightened Rabbit this week. The former is in English but the original Icelandic version is streaming on Soundcloud right now, so I listened to that last night.
I also mostly listen to some sort of shuffle or mix these days, but I listened to Let It Be by the Replacements the other day. Great album by a great band. The album title sums up their ethos perfectly: nothing is sacred.
Agreed on all counts. My college roommate listened to a lot of the Replacements, but I didn't acquire a taste until later in life.
I've recently listened to Battle Born from The Killers, Long Cold Winter from Cinderella, and The Wild Feathers (self-titled). I listened on my ipod but did listen to the entire album. I still have a ton of CDs downstairs but can't remember the last time I even looked through them.

Last CD played: the Black Keys "Turn Blue"

Billy , I love his music and even bought his first album that he made after 30 yrs as a muslim. The music was different but I enjoyed it.
If you haven't listened to The Devil Makes Three, then you're missing out, and frankly we can't be friends.
Hey friend, I'll give it a spin... if you listen to Led Zeppelin ThreeOriginally posted by TarHeelNation11:

You'll be pleasantly surprised. If you like traditional country and/or any rock tinged with bluegrass instruments, you will certainly like tracks 1, 2, 3. You'll obviously recognize track 5. It gets weaker toward the last 3-4 songs though for sure. The front of the album carries it though.Originally posted by TarHeelMark:

I actually enjoyed the album and have listened through it about 3 times now. I'm not a modern country fan, but since this was more of an alt-bluegrass (is that even a thing?) which was unique and they had pretty catchy tunes for the most part. I'll definitely listen to some of their other albums.
Van is the man... he's got some good stuff for sure.
I'm streaming some Warren Zevon today; his first two albums are really good.
Very nice. If you can believe it......The Devil Makes Three is from California!! LOL. I do consider "alt-bluegrass" a thing. There's definitely bands of today that use a lot of the same instruments and styles of traditional bluegrass......they just ditch the harsh, high-pitched vocals of traditional bluegrass and opt for a more "modern" sounding, deeper man's voice.
There was a group called The SteelDrivers who put out two albums with their original singer and they are FANTASTIC, especially the first one, which is self-titled and for some reason ain't on Spotify anymore. The second one, Reckless is also great (but not AS good) and is on Spotify. Their newest album has a different singer and sucks.
As for Led Zeppelin III...
Listened to the album at work. Took me a while because I had to keep starting and stopping. My overall thoughts: not as painful as I thought! Haha. I won't bum y'all out and list any negative things. I'll just list my positive opinions/observations:
The Immigrant Song -- decent
Friends -- pretty good instrumentals
Out on the Tiles & Gallows Pole -- I liked these two songs way more than anything else on the album. I can't really tell you why. I just did.
Bron-Y-Aur Stomp -- had a cool rhythm.
* Trying to put my finger on it, I think I liked the songs I did because the instrumentals were more front and center and the singer's voice was sorta more accompanying the music rather than leading the charge (if that makes sense). I'm sure this is some sort of classic rock heresy, but I don't like their singer's voice all that much, so yeah. Like I said though, I definitely did like Out On The Tiles and Gallows Pole.

THMark, as for The Devil Makes Three, they're one of those bands that churns out albums so I've found that I like 2-4 songs from each of their albums, instead of liking the entirety of an album, if that makes sense. Except for Do Wrong Right -- that's a really strong album.
Individual songs I'd recommend are "Old Number Seven" "Dynamite" "The Plank" "Tow" and of course, "North Carolina"
