2000 - CD...
I do enjoy a bit of Gregorian chant.
It's absolutely beautiful but one must be in a certain state of mind and I'm in a very good place at the moment. The weather did play a part on it as well though.

not much hip hop on here so for diversity sake and I really like this.
Sampling with Tidal, enjoyable...
One of the few Led Zeppelin albums I am still able to listen to, despite being an out and out Page nut in my youth (I even created a half speed version of the 27 minute version of 'Dazed and Confused' from the TSRTS album so that I could work out the entire guitar part note for note!). These days it no longer seems to do much for me, but I still like this album, which may be because I didn't like it so much when I first heard it. Who knows?
A GREAT album with a young [Sir Roderic Stewart] on lead vocals..

I've been listening to Leonard Cohen for nearly 40 years now .. a fabulous entertainer and poet .. this isn't his best album but tonight it's just right.
Any recommendations where to start with Lenard Cohen?
