Do you ever do this? You find an album or a song that you used to like years ago and completely forgot about, and suddenly you're in love all over again?

If so, what? Has there been anything recently?

I've been listening to Bon Jovi's album 'These Days' today and feeling nostalgic

forever doing it - vast collections of records means this is almost unavoidable

Way back in the 70s I used to be really into prog and heavy rock. I sort of grew out of it and then about six years ago I went into a Music Zone store where they had all my faves for £4.99. I bought "Fragile" by Yes and then I was hooked again: ELP, King Crimson, Camel, Led Zep... My mother had got rid of my LPs when I left home, but now I have them all again on CD. It's great driving the kids mad playing them all, and I met some good people through websites devoted to this type of music.

Appropriately enough given the current DS headline, I re-discovered My Bloody Valentine when I was ripping my entire CD collection recently. Been playing them regularly since.

The thing with me is I don't really like the album format so I rarely play them....with very few exceptions there are too many fillers IMO. I've always made my own compilations - mostly mixed - and MBV never featured for some reason.

I agree!
when I was a lad (many many years ago!) I used to dream of having a magic box, that would play any almost any song I wanted at the touch of a button.

never thought that dream would come true

Ive been rediscovering lots of great stuff!. What an amazing resource youtube is!

Eldorado by ELO. I loved it before, but now it has greater meaning for me; just a superb album - I can't stop listening to it at the moment

I have always loved the same stuff I always did, but currently have a renewed obsession with Focus, Jethro Tull, Santana and Crosby, Stills and Nash.

Sometimes I listen to old CD's I bought years ago, and find I like them a lot more than I did originally.......... Happened recently with Air's 'Moon Safari', and their was a CD by Incubus I liked a lot more than I thought I would.

Most of the CD's I DID actually used to like, I've outgrown by now.

I love Jethro Tull and Focus, both timeless bands. Tull's Songs From The Wood is a corker

Tull rock!

I love Aqualung, probably their best-known LP.

BTW, been listening to a lot of Oasis recently and it's reminding me of the sunny nineties, which was an entirely different era.

I even had a pair of Liam sunglasses!

Yes indeed, i was glad to get broadband so I could watch vids without buffering.

Go West and Renaissance are two artists I've dug up lately.
