What Music Did you Get For Christmas And Was it Worth It

Posted by: HiFiKid on 26 December 2012

All

 

Haveing just been given the Killers cd Battle & Burn for Christmas.

 

Very grateful but not the best Killers album.

 

I was wondering what else was received as a gift and what you thought of it.

 

looking forward to the new year

Celebration Day (CD & Blu Ray) - Led Zeppelin

I love it. I've played it a few times and does get me reaching for the air guitar!

Grrr (CD boxed set) - Rolling Stones

It was a must have reminder for the amazing concert at the O2 last month. 

Rod's Merry Christmas Baby

Good Christmas fun & well recorded!

Bought myself the Alt-J album, enjoying it lots.

 

We don't do Xmas presents at home, in fact we don't do Xmas. I recommend it.

 

We buy the house a 'present', make a substantial charity donation in lieu of the rest and encourage our families to do the same instead of buying gifts too.

 

I always make a few friends a 'Best of the Year' CD of new music and send that out with their Xmas card. Some reciprocate!

+1 for Led Zep - Celebration Day.

 

lots of people complaining about the sound quality. OK it's not the best but watching the Blu Ray more than makes up for it. My kids are sick of the sight it all ready.

The Clarke Ware Experiment (The House of Illustrious) 10 CD Box set, very atmospheric, but not heard fully.

Taking time to enjoy.....

The Mother in law bought me the Complete EMI sessions by David Oistrakh - 17 CDs of top class music. Have just spent ages ripping them so that I can enjoy them on the main system.

You'll enjoy it when you do ... Fully Qualified Survivor is one of my favourite albums and is Michael Chapman at his best ... a very underrated guitarist

Hi Bruce,

 

 

what was the track listing for your best of?

 

 

I got Go Mairir I Bhfad_Long Life To You  - Zoë Conway and John Mc Intyre, a nice left field choice by my wife, newly commissioned Irish traditional music played by Zoë on fiddle and John on guitar. Excellent playing and some nice different takes on the genre from the likes of Lunny and Irvine.
