Just in the mood for some well played hard edged blues with some grunt and this is fitting the bill nicely.
Good stuff indeed. If you've not seen or heard it before, check out G's version of 'The Stumble':
Gazpacho, March of Ghosts on CD, Did not see the link to my previous album until I started typing this!!
Proper pace and a delicious sound coming out of a gorgeous harpsichord, exactly what a Sunday morning calls for:

Marillion, Fugazi on a 1998 24bit remastered CD and sounding fantastic.
For me Fish is one of the best Lyricist. His use of words can really take you on a journey, If you like Prog Rock and have not heard early Marillion give it a go, after a few listens they can get right into your head.

Great album Graham, must dig my copy out a give it a spin! 
American Flyer "American Flyer"
1976 folk-rock release with Steve Katz (Blues Project, BS&T), Craig Fuller (Pure Prairie League), Eric Kaz (Blues Magoos) and Doug Yule. Think Byrds "Sweetheart of the Rodeo", Poco "Pickin' Up The Pieces". Early US times of country flavors mixing with folk, pop, and rock. Smooth.
WAV stream. 16bit how it should always sound.
G
Still as fresh as the day it was released.

Thanks for the link Clive, it is indeed very good. I have to say that I still miss the likes of great guitarists with such individual styles and sounds as Gary Moore and Rory Gallacher, to name but two!...

Elizabeth & the Catapult "Like It Never Happened"
2014 release, simple, enjoyable pop music
on library loan CDs
Great ELO choices there and still available from a library, around these parts it seems that most "pop" albums get moved on and away after a year or so.
Vinyl
Superb 'friends' and a wonderful Telarc recording.
G
Newton Faulkner "Live In London 2012"
a man, a voice, an acoustic guitar, think Fink-like

Prompted by Osprey's posting and joining in with some more ELO.
On vinyl.
Tuck & Patti: Tears of Joy 1988 release
Audiophile level sound quality which can make a good hifi demo, but the content is light as air.
