If I knew the answer to that myself Mike, life might be a little simpler!

Very eclectic, constantly moving and I go through phases, I'm in a jazz phase at the moment I guess - the only constant I would say is it's rarely mainstream. I saw the Kneecap movie recently and that really opened my eyes to rap and hip hop, as did Straight Outta Compton, both outstanding films. Previously I avoided rap and hip hop, because I didn't understand it - I still don't totally, but I'm learning to respect it.

I'll give it a go later if I can find it, thanks :)

Perfect answer. I've tried Jazz and the only stuff that appeals is well, well leftfield. No classical, no Funk/ Jazzfunk, no "Pop", no "middle of the road, whatever that is", no Choral etc. Give REN a try, he's a really interesting dude.

Seems like only yesterday I bought this, 37 odd years ago…. On vinyl, (and subsequently CD) but cheating and streaming on Tidal this morning. Next move now I have managed to wheedle the big speakers into the living room is a turntable…. :eyebrows:

The title track Stateside is 2 minutes of pure instrumental genius and a great test track.

My favourite Stone's album.

'' Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic states that the album "may consist mainly of filler, but it's expertly written and performed filler".

:thumbsup:

I'm not sure I could pick a favourite Stones album Martin . . . could make my head explode as I'd find it too hard!

I suppose now I think about it that's harder than it seemed :) - I probably listen to Emotional Rescue the most but it seems reckless to claim it's better than the Fingers/Bleed/Exile triumvirate. I like Some Girls and Beggars Banquet a lot too.
