What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)

On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Ramsey Lewis Trio - Time Flies
Some cool jazz from one of my favourite pianists.
Nice!
Fairport Convention - House Full, Live in LA 1970, original U.K. vinyl
Following the Nick Drake, similar rhythm section. Fairport in the Full House lineup, so the solid rhythm lineup of Mattacks on drums, Pegg on bass and Nicol on rhythm guitar, between them they must have played as session men on pretty much every English folk-rock album of the ‘70s. Fronting them Richard Thompson on guitar and Dave Swarbrick on fiddle (also sharing vocals), a slightly recessed recording from the desk, but the music makes that irrelevant, Fairport originals and trad arr numbers played by a great band. Probably the standout is Sloth, the first and greatest folk-rock jam track, with a great guitarist and a great fiddler enjoying themselves.
Have played my woman from Tokyo so many times in my youth...., but it never sounded so great as now...
More good instrumental ambient/post rock music. Great guitar and piano album by Black Hill and heklAa.
Faithless, Sunday 8PM.
Staying in the 90's with this stunning album.
David Knopfler
Grace - CD Rip
Edward
Johann Johannsson - Fordlandia. A very haunting piece of music.
1961 - Tidal...
Fairport Convention - Liege & Lief, vinyl
The album that created the template for English folk rock, a combination of electrified trad numbers and Fairport originals which sound like they could be trad numbers. With the master guitarist Richard Thompson and the master fiddler Dave Swarbrick fronted by Sandy Denny, backed by a top class rhythm trio, and superbly arranged songs, this is rightly a legendary album.
Always love this Libertines album.There's such a English lyrical flavor on their songs.Playing on Compact Disc on Rough Trade Records from 2004

One of my all time favourites. Thanks for the reminder, I'll see if I can have a listen to it over the Easter weekend.
One of my favorite albums, perfect for late night listening. Dreamy Icelandic folk/pop from Seabear. IMO a very well produced album with great songs and great sound. 
I was playing this CD in the car today. This CD has alternative remixed versions of the five best songs of the album. When the 2004 remix of the title track came on I glanced down at the speedo and found I was doing 95mph. This album should come with a speed warning. Classic hard rock.

Pretty messed up but very talented. History will judge but they were rather good me thinks.

Yep, Coverdale's Mistreated showed that the voice was there, but not sure about the chemistry to carry on with the band . Great album!
Mansun, Attack Of The Grey Lantern.
The 1997 debut that is an interesting/fun alternative rock concept album.
Another older one, with a lot of memories...
Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell, vinyl
Bombastic over the top rock, sung with power and complete conviction by Meat Loaf, with fantastic band and backing vocals. It’s an amazing album, the songs are great, and the whole production is compelling. A favourite for 40 years.

Sorry, I must have missed the telegram. No, can't find it . Must have missed it altogether. I for one find it extremely irritating drivel.
On vinyl...
