I am very much enjoying the 70s funk stylings of the new Paloma Faith single "Can't Rely On You". Good use of cowbells too :)
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

IZ, that's a good one, but I prefer:

Fear of a Black Planet and
He Got Game.

the second one is a bit of an "outfield" one, as it wasn't really a solely PE release, but is the soundtrack to a Spike Lee movie of the same name.  Has some fantastic blast out loud PE tracks, though.

As for what I am listening to, today, it's Chris Cornell - Songbook.

As good as "Concrete and Clay"?

Well no but it does have a completely mad video to compensate.

cowbells at 3:00 minutes in.

And back to funk:

Erykah Badu - Annie Dont Wear No Panties

http://youtu.be/9d9eydCfTdw

This has flute instead of cowbells.

Oooo, Baduism is one of my all time fave albums, going to dig it out of the digital cruft on my home PC so I can listen to it again...

Block Out the Sirens of this Lonely World by Chip Taylor.

It's not exactly a toe-tapper, as the title suggests, but he has a great lived-in voice and whispery delivery like a gnarly American Jarvis Cocker (though that should really be the other way around), and it's growing on me.

MC 900ft Jesus - Welcome To My Dream

Contains one of my favourite rap/hip-hop style tracks, "The City Sleeps", which is all about a serial arsonist ...

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Anthology

Very loud ! Good straight forward rock. I particularly like the early stuff.

I meant to dip into Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers after watching that Sound City film. Must remember to do that.

Gary Byrd and the GB Experience - The Crown, finally found the full 12" version at over 10 minutes.  The guy virtually invented rap.

Well, I was listening to the Rutles, but a Tune Association link has prompted me to seek out some classic Abba!  Discotastic!

I've been pinching a bit of everything - some Talking Heads, some Dire Straits, an Otis Reading album, some Bowie, some REM and a couple of others :D
