I was stuck in traffic the other day, so had a root through some cds in my glove box & in the rarely used cd changer in my trunk & rediscovered "Credence Clearwater Revival". Wow! What a band, that cd is on almost constantly now! Along with The Eagles & Don Henley's solo stuff, I dont need to listen to any current "stuff"!
 
CCR is awesome. I bought one of their special edition greatest hits cd and suddenly my dad thinks it's his. Well now it is anyway. I think i'll have to buy a new one. This has happened to me twice. Once with my friend who thinks that my Blue Oyster Cult cd is his after i lent him to him+. Well now it is as well.

I haven't rediscovered much but i don't really listen to any current songs. I still love Eurythmics and lots of 80's stuff.
 
Started listening to Hendrix again as well as some Clapton.
 
Johnny Cash, never really "lost" him, but the movie Walk The Line has made me get some older CD's out and listen to them more.

Also have been playing Bob Seger's Night Moves album alot lately.
 
Manfred Mann's Earth Band - "The Good Earth". Not as hippied-out as the title would imply, it's a hard rock/progressive album with some great mind-expanding playing on it. I even have the vinyl LP with the deed for 1 square foot of land on a hillside in Wales. Maybe one day I'll go over there to visit my square foot. :)
 
I was watching the Sopranos last week on HBO's "freeview". At the end of the episode, Tony came back home to stand guard out back as there had been a black bear in the neighborhood. He grabbed an AK, lit a cigar and sat down on a lawn chair in the cold night. Carm asked him if he wanted some coffee and he refused. At that moment, the Emmylou Harris song Heaven Only Knows cuts in and finishes the scene.

I streaked for my computer and downloaded the song from Itunes. What a voice! ;)
 
Two, actually:

Watt by Ten Years After
Smokin' by Humble Pie

I was going through my old cassette tapes a couple days ago (I have about 1500 of 'em), and gave those two a listen-to, and really grooved to 'em again.:).

:thumbup: First LP I ever bought and still one of me all-time favorites.

Been playing The Best of Cold Blood for days in my car CD player. Lydia pense had soul and a blues voice that put Janis to shame...She got me hummin'

Every year about this time, I always "rediscover" Bob Rivers' Twisted Christmas series of albums. Parodies of AC DC, Hendrix, Bing, The King, Black Sabbath, and many others. I Am Santa Claus, a rip off of Sabbath's Iron Man always puts me in the spirit.....:D

Always 2 of my favorites, I love when Hendrix does Little Wing and Clapton plays it on Derek and the Dominoes, Layla and other love songs.
 
I go through old cassettes a few times per year and decide what I want to get on CD. One that I rediscovered recently is The Cars self-titled album, which I believe came out in 1978. Some great songs like "Best Friend's Girl", "Don't Cha Stop", "Bye Bye Love", etc. Plus I forgot about the hot chick on the cover...:D
 
Rage Against The Machine has found their way into my MP3 player a lot lately.:thumbup:
 
Power Ballads, mostly of those, you know, "big hair bands" of the 80s and early 90s, I have 4 CDs worth of songs like that, I was only a kid during the 80s but man did they have some great rock bands. I loved most of these bands to begin with, but for some reason I've taken a liking to their softer songs as of late, (Whitesnake and The Scorpions in particular). If only I was this age back when this music was fresh.....

Usually, I listen to classical. I threw in a Sting CD for the hell of it while working at home and have been listening to it (and other Sting cd's) for about a week. Great stuff.

Plus, I've been listening to more and more 70's soul music (Stylistics, Brothers Johnson, Pendergrass). that stuff still kicks.
 
I was in Best Buy a few weeks ago and spoted an Electric Light Orchestra 2 disc best of CD. I can't believe how good this music sounds on CD. CD must have been invented for ELO.
