Out of interest, when people post on this thread are they usually listening to their own music or YouTube? 99% of the time I'm listening to my own including this one.

Hi John,

You did ask so...

Train room - CDs but not many to choose from as most are in my van.

On computer (which is downstairs) - Youtube with headphones on as the good lady is working from home or watching TV.

When she's out walking the dogs - Alexa and LOUD!!!  Sod the neighbours. Think they're deaf anyway  .

PS. I mean Alexa the music machine thingy in case it's the name of a band 

[Trainfish]

I did indeed ask. I may be old fashioned but I do like to have the actual CD/vinyl etc in my possession rather than a download. There are exceptions to this though.

In the loft I tend to listen to either Planet Rock or the many downloads I have on Sky Q. Most of which I have the CD and/or DVD too.
Downstairs it's either the stereo, Planet Rock on TV or a CD in the PC.
On the patio (speakers on garage external wall) it comes via a USB stick which I copy from my iTunes beforehand.
Shower, using my iPod, again from iTunes.
Car, either Planet Rock or a USB stick as above.

Invariably I play my own music, via iPod + dock, stack system with 6CD multiplay or maybe on my laptop via iTunes. Car has my iTunes library on a USB.
I do like crescendos - things like
Yes - Starship Trooper
Steve Hackett - Shadow of the Hierophant
King Crimson - Epitaph
Renaissance - Ashes are burning (currently playing)
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

They gives me goosebumps

I listen almost exclusively via Spotify.
All my CDs and vinyl are in the loft. It's probably 10 years since I played any of them.
Much of my listening involves music that is new to me. I do listen to some old/familiar stuff but to me the beauty of Spotify is that it allows you to search out new artists based on something that you currently enjoy.
It's all down to personal preference of course.

I don't use Spotify but sort of along the lines of what you say I listen to music posted on this thread and if I like it I go and look for a CD on eBay etc

[Newportnobby]

I rarely watch YouTube owing to the constant rubbish buffering I get

If you like crescendos you might give this a try if you don't already know it.
McDonald & Giles were part of the original King Crimson line up (one of my favourite bands when I were a lad - saw them at least six times).
I suggest skipping forward to approx 39:10 if you just want the crescendo bit.

I just listened to the whole lot and was impressed. £3.86 on eBay

Glad you enjoyed it.
I have the vinyl up in the roof.

Apart from the train set I tend to keep quiet about what I have in the loft 

This followed on from McDonald & Giles for some reason. That's it now, Floyd for the rest of the day

That was an inspirational album.

Absolutely, one of their best
