What are you Listening To Right Now? - and more

Evening constant listeners. I've been searching for "clean" copies of Moody Blues pressings since I returned to vinyl back in 2010. I found four yesterday, including this one, which appear on the surface to be the best of theirs I've found to date. This side one sounds nice, with very good dynamics but, side two may be a little rough. We'll hear. I don't know... Considering MB gets "overlooked" by some music fans, it's about as difficult to find very clean pressings of their work as it is to find Beatles or Stones or The Who or Hendrix, or any of the great bands from that time. Pressings were, for all intents and purposes, played to sh*t.

Greta Van Fleet obviously is influenced by Led Zeppelin. However, LZ were influenced by blues and had no problem coping a bit or two into their music. I am completely OK with Greta being influenced and like the results. I understand from some interviews, not everyone likes them and writes them off as a rip off . To each their own, I like the LP's and find it "refreshing" to hear led zeppelin influenced music as they do it so well with high energy and chops. Validates my youth and taste in music IMO. .

What artist is this? I see the song on another sampler but I have no idea who it is.

Was just playing around with a Chrome extension for SoundCloud that lets me queue the songs to my Sonos speakers in the office. Wasn't paying too much attention, but it sounded great! Little $85 ChromeBit works pretty well for music player, may have to upgrade to a Chromebox 3 to run Android apps, though.
