Quiet Around Here

Hit HMV for a music update.
Bought:
Pink Floyd, Endless River. It's OK but disappointing sign off.
Embrace, new one. Meh.
Robert Plant, new one. Hasn't really caught my attention yet after a couple of listens.
Status Quo. Aqoustic. Shouldn't work but it does. Brilliant, fun and happy record. Highly recommended
Foo Fighter new one. Fantastic.
Pnau with Elton. OK as non challenging easy listening.
Simple Minds new one. Not listened to it yet.
London Grammar. Wild card.Not listened to it yet.

If rock musicians had been banned from making music after they reach 60, what great songs would we never have heard? Balance this against how much disappointment we'd have avoided.

Of course it's different with Jazz and Blues musicians.

The Johnny Cash American recordings albums produced by Rick Rubin spring to mind

would we count JC as rock?
i know what noel means. planty is doing ok. wilco johnson is burning bright, but some of the others should know better.

Haven't cracked open my Endless River vinyl yet, waiting for a bit of quiet time, just me and the dog :D

Can't get Chas & Dave out of my head when I listen to the Quo's acoustic stuff..

I think it probably does deserve a 'lights out, cans on, splifftastic' moment. I can see where they are coming from with the project. There are one or two flashes of Saucerful stirred into a mix which is mainly offcuts from The Division Bell. So its derivative but I suppose they were consciously bookending their career as well as playing a tribute to Rick. The problem is, it mostly sounds like a re-mix of DB rejects...because that is what it is.

I know what you mean about Aquostic but I reckon it is great fun. Whats not to like about it?

I shall post my thoughts (and those of the Mutt) after I've had a listen , really like Louder Than Words, must admit to an almost tearful moment when I first heard it on an early morning drive into work the other week, I've only heard the Acoustic Quo on the radio but keep expecting 'em to break into Knees Up Mother Brown :)
