Today, I have mostly been listening to ...

Moominpapa

This Allan Holdsworth concert from 1997. He played with so many great musicians that it is impossible to point to any one combo and say they were "the best", but I do have a soft spot for this particular lineup. Dave Carpenter & Gary Novak just seem to groove with Allan so well and I think he was inspired by their backing. He is absolutely killing it in this performance.

Elastica - Singles
Graham Coxon Happiness in Magazines

The nastiest guitar tone...

I don’t know what the fuck he’s doing with that guitar but it’s pretty entrancing. Talk about being ahead of the curve. I imagine this kind of music will be the norm 100 years from now and holdsworth will be the distant future’s jimi hendrix

Absolutely loving Stephen's guitar tone on this one.

Signals - Rush

I didn't like this when it first came out but it grew on me. More synths, more Policy moments and very different for them.

I love the haunting violin solo on 'Losing It' by long-time KD Lang collaborator, Ben Mink

Kilgore

Some Frank Black solo stuff. I haven't listened to most of it for several years.

I stopped after Teenager.... But then picked up Pistolero and it's really good. Much more straighforward, tuneful and rocky, but there are some really good tracks.

Pistolero was the last album I bought. I know virtually nothing about his material from 2000 onwards. I'm toying with the idea of giving some of it a listen but my musical tastes may have changed too much to get into it. 

Octahedron

The new Bon Jovi album, but I'm skipping a few songs.

Insomnium - Above the Weeping World  (2006)

The album that introduced me to melodic death metal, and still one of my favourites of the 2000s

I like him a lot, I'm really into the pixies so have an interest in his solo stuff and the breeders.  

My favourite songs of his are Headache, Abstract Plain and Billy Ratcliffe,

JerkMoans

Yes - 90125

Major formative thing when I was about 14. Forgot all about it for 35 years. Bard of Accrington meets Trevor Horn meets South African guitar virtuoso. Cracking stuff.

King Curtis - Live at the Fillmore West

Another one taken far too young.

Never used to like this band, but actually, joshe homme is quite an innovative guitarist
