...if any. Dating myself a bit in the age of downloads and Spotify, but I can't be the only one who received a physical CD?! Mine were Coldplay "Ghost Stories" and Tracy Chapman "Where You Live" both very good.

Think it was actually 80something. Not the same with no Wham/DuranDuran anyway.

My husband is still a big hard copy fan (he has hundreds of them) but I never buy him CD's because he just loves the obscure/new artists I've never even heard of.

Yeah neither do I really to be honest! I stream most of my music now through Spotify's free service so can't remember the last time I got a CD

I forgot that that one was out. Haven't heard it yet. You're not so keen on it?

PF - you can recognise the odd cord and just when you expect it to follow previous tracks, it goes off on a tangent. I'm not disappointed, but I've only listened to it in entirety once, PF is only played when everyone else is clear of the house. I think the band indulged themselves, would have enjoyed more vocals. Not sure it is a classic, but when I have all the CDs, this had to join them.
