Since college football season is all but over, I thought I'd ask if anyone else is spending some of their time listening to old stuff that they haven't listened to in some time. I decided to listen to some Jean Luc Ponty. Why? H%ll if I know, but it's decent background music. Any stuff you've pulled out of the crates lately?

I’m painting my basement and 1 us helping me with a tv sound system.
Watched a concert on YouTube the other day with 10CC. What a great show and band. I never knew their one guitarist/songer, Graham Goildman, wrote hit songs for The Hollies, The Yardbirds, and Herman’s Hermits well worth the watch. Also have been revisiting Supertramp and The Tubes. Reliving my youth I guess!
I have so much. Some might say too much. Let's play the random selection game from my Discogs collection.

Love this STP, my college Jr was home for break and got a CD player from his girlfriend for Christmas. Wife and I pulled out two crates of about 300 CDs for him to look through, which we haven’t touched in years. So wifey and I played things we haven’t heard in many years for about two hours that evening.
Wouldn’t let him take this
When I'm digging in the crates, I need look no further than the Lennon Sisters.

Are you sure you didn't have a "Step Brothers" moment? Play the &%$%^@! out of__________Rude Dude!
Supertramp had some masterpieces (Even in the Quietest Moments immediately comes to mind). Breakfast in America became their signature release, but some earlier stuff was amazingly done. I always thought they were underrated.

I think RudeDude should make a mixed tape based on this thread. 
I might play some Jean Luc Ponty as well. it's been a while.

Controversial take:
They were better with Andy Williams than they were with Lawrence Welk.
The bigger the crate, the duster the cut.
Reminds me of watching the Lawrence Welk show as a child.
I busted out the guns n roses Use Your Illusion vinyl box today. It's massive. The show from the Ritz in NYC is so raw and dirty. Izzy is still around.
Metallica and AC/DC are coming to Raymond James this spring and I'm afraid to look.
I can't disagree. In the Welk years, especially early on, they were innocent looking and their voices less mature. With Andy they looked better and sounded better.
I wonder why Andy is sitting cross-legged?
Although many years after my heyday, I love the 70's and 80's music and am a big fan of 10cc.
Speaking of masterpieces.... Some of the songs from that era are so powerful it is genius and mind boggling at the same time.
My teenager got a record player for Christmas, so now that it’s in my house, I’m revisiting and reacquiring old vinyl I once owned. My first three are:
I should add that comedians, as well as musicians, were the heroes and soothsayers of my youth.
