The Definitive Collection by Chuck Berry. I'm liking it so far, and I think his voice is smoother on the ear than Holly's. I like both, so it's all good. I got the Berry disc through the public library too.

AT, yep, it's sad that he died so young. I wonder what his style of music would have been if he made music in 1960s, 70s, and onwards. I hope that it wouldn't be too folk rock-ish, but maybe he'd go for Phil Spector type of production. I wouldn't be surprised if he went country later on in his life.

ETA: I like Holly more. I was going through several songs in the last 15 minutes, and it sounded the same. It had the distinctive guitar sound and intro and piano. I could differentiate Holly's songs more easily than I can with Berry's.

I Need You, from Lynyrd Skynyrd's Second Helping album.

It's funny because when I first heard Second Helping, I thought it was decent enough but didn't really live up to their debut album (which I always loved) apart from Sweet Home Alabama and The Ballad Of Curtis Loew. However about 4-5 months later it suddenly 'clicked' for me and I've loved it since then. I Need You is one of the songs that has grown on me most.

ETA: Now started on Don't Ask Me No Questions. One of my faves - I love the attitude! Can't believe I ever though 'meh' about it. I'm the same way with most of The Long Run album.

Supper's Ready by Genesis yesterday. I had a really well thought out playlist, one of the best I've done for a long time, and when it finally played towards the end of the playlist, the entire 22 minutes was a joy. What a song.

Disc 2 of Elton John Greatest Hits 1970-2002. Starting w/ Disc 2 instead of 1 b/c I love the song "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." I also loved when Cam and Mitchell sang it to impress a mother who was going to give her baby up, so they could adopt it on Modern Family.

The Jerry Garcia Band's 1978 "Cats Under the Stars" LP.

Whether fairly or not, Garcia and the Grateful Dead often get categorized as acid/psychedelic/space rockers, but they could do some really soft tones, as this album quite well shows.

"Ordinary Day" by Vanessa Carlton, as part of an "I Radio Philly" musical podcast.

Shadows Are Go by The Shadows on CD. I thought there would be some singing in this, but no, I was mistaken. I thought since the tracks were dated from the early 1960s on the jewel case that it would be music that I'd like. So far, it's pretty good for instrumentals, and it might make it as studying music.

ETA: On second thought, I think my Hawaiian music will still do for studying and focusing. I just don't want to take up more space on my hard drive.
