So it was my birthday about a month or so ago and instead of getting presents, wife instead just gets me vouchers so I can but music, which is great as I get to shop around and try and get bargains, randoms, unknowns etc. Whilst sometimes I grab vinyl I tend to find CDs are my go to and I can get the best bargains/volume of music. Anyway this time I managed to get 50 CDs in total from Amazon/Discogs/Music Magpie which has made for an interesting mix:

Well that little lot will take a while to get through - hope you have a long daily commute! 

Commendably eclectic. 

Thank you. I put them on whilst working from home so I have been getting through them (think I only have 3 to listen to for the 1st time..)

A few have been through recommendations on here so I suspected that there would be some approval (I have really enjoyed the Five The Hierophant (thanks @GarethRDR)!

Yeah never got around to getting the EPs before, now just got the first 2 to get, but they are retailing at the moment for around £40 & £20 which is just a touch too for my liking!

The Zep tune? If so, yes obviously

I’ll be honest Bicks. Not sure why I posted this. It was on in the background on the radio and I happened to be on VT. For the record if I played it 20 times over a period of time I’d probably only really get into it once . Good  song, but goes on a bit .

It’s big, I’ll give you that. Bet it’s great to play. If I remember right he used a different guitar for it. Can’t remember what kind of guitar , but it was a black and white one.

Janis Joplin was a terrible singer. 

I'm with you there. Everything Dylan haters say about his voice, I feel about Janis. It's a shame, because I want to like her. But it's like the proverbial fingernails down a blackboard.

Yeah. The only one that isn’t, and just barely isn’t, is that Mercedes Benz song. Probably because it’s more talk-singing, than actual singing.
