What I currently have in my CD player
An anthology of early recordings (1953-1955) by a doo-wop group you've probably never heard of: the Harptones. Right now, I'm swooning to the velvet voice of lead singer Willie Winfield as he caresses Louis Prima's lyrics:

I want a Sunday Kind of Love,
A love to last past Saturday night.
I want to know it's more than love at fist sight.
I want a Sunday Kind of Love.

Yeah, baby! :loveya:

2. here's what's on mine . . .
- Let It Be: Naked - the new re-do of the Beatles classic

- Kind of Blue - Miles Davis . . . but that's pretty much always there

- Getz/Gilberto - the classic Verve recording featuring Stan Getz, Joao Gilberto, and Antonio Carlos Jobim . . . with a couple of contributions by Astrud Gilberto, most notably two versions of "The Girl from Ipanema"

9. I'm well aware of that!

My record and CD collection covers the entire history of recorded sound, from the 1890s - the present. It just so happens that the lion's share of my favorite music is from the 1950s and '60s. Hey, what can I tell ya?

10. I have 2 DVD drives in my PC...
... which I have hooked up to my stereo since the built-in CD player is dead.

Anyway, in the upper one I have Blur's "Think Tank", which I like listening to every now and then, though I hate the copy protection program.
And in the lower one, I have the CD version of Kraftwerk's Autobahn CD. It's a nice song to have going in the background :)
