and steer clear of anything by kiss

If you wanna check out some younger rock
acts go for

Rival Sons
Graveyard

Young bands which play 70s sound. Great stuff.

For more melodic AOR stuff check out

H.E.A.T from Sweden. Their latest record sounds
like modern Hair Rock.

Taylor Hawkins (Both Albums)

At the risk of sounding repetitive, Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours": I'm absolutely hooked on it at the moment. As for new stuff - you should check out Skerryvore, Biffy Clyro and Travis' new tracks. Fun aren't too bad, either.

Lumineers are also getting some great press at the moment.

And, back to the old stuff.....Billy Joel's "Piano Man", "Songs In The Attic" and "The Stranger". "An Innocent Man" is kinda cheesy and dated, but I still like it :)

I see from your existing likes, you may not go for the sort of thing I'm recommending lol.

And there's nowt wrong with KISS, Bren :p

Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan

Whoever said Lumineers must be executed. What next? Mumford and fucking Sons?

All I said was they're getting good press. Not my personal cup of tea, but you can't form opinions without having at least listened first!

you could fit all of the half-decent (cos that's all they ever manage) Kiss tracks onto ONE 3½" floppy disc - at 320kbps mp3 - that's about 10% of one whole track

^ harsh :P

harsh? no. i'll give you harsh

why bother recording "ANY" Kiss tracks at 320kbs?
surely recording it at 96kbs or even 64kbs would improve it?

LOL
