Need I go on? Without actually counting I would hazard a guess that less than half of my 4000+ albums would be classed as rock.

Blimey! that's just like my old collection as well. Some great bands there - whatever genre you put them into.

Anyone for the coral?

They made some cracking tunes. Loved their first two albums

Yep. Agreed. Went to see them in Liverpool & it was the drunkest event of any sort I've ever been to. Proclaimers supported.

Neil Young (Harvest Moon is a timeless beauty), Pink Floyd, Yes (Aren't 90125 and Big Generator guitar driven,synthy pop??) would all probably make my top 30 artists/bands.

The others....haven't listened to enough of their stuff to make an informed opinion.

Nothing wrong with Joy Division though Fish, and those 2 Yes albums I mentioned are comfortably more pop orientated than anything Joy Division ever did.

The Courteeners new album ANNA at the minute.

Not as good as Falcon, but worth a listen.

Certainly a break from the proper Yes music and I agree slightly poppy but just a short blip in their history and very short lived. Back to their best once again. Superb live

Alt-J album 'an awesome wave' is a work of art and well worth a listen.

I've listened to it once online & it seemed decent.

Desire by Bob Dylan wizzing round on the turntable soon to followed by Genisis 'and there were three'the only good album they made after the departure of the mighty Gabriel

Got hold of the Bastille album after being nagged by my brother to listen to it and it appears to be very good. Taken over from the new Biffy Clyro album as current choice of listening although i really need to have a listen to the new Courteeners album seeing as i'm going to see them on Friday night.

It's decent Jon.

Quite a shift in sound from their previous though, more polished. Liam Fray's voice sounds the best it ever has. Van Der Graaf, Marquee, and In Love With A Notion are the 3 standouts for me.

We had it on in the car the other day but cos i was driving i wasnt really listening that much. Hopefully stick it on properly but sounds promising for the gig on Friday night. Annoyingly i've just had to turn down a ticket for the Biffy gig at the Arena as i'm doing something else.

Other gigs on the horizon: I Am Kloot (again, 2nd gig of the current tour - i love that band!) and Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue frontman) with his solo gig at The Lowry in Salford on the day after my birthday/day we're driving home from the Fleetwood (Blackpool) weekender

Saw Deacon Blue at Sheffield City Hall last November i think it was...they were fantastic.

I've not got a lot on after this Courteeners one other than being dragged to see Pet Shop Boys in Manchester for my other halves birthday. Did go and see Train in Leeds a couple of weeks back which was good.

I feel somewhat out of place in this thread.

[JonB]

Tickets now purchased to see Everything Everything at Sheffield in October...so need to add that album to the list of ones to listen to although i've got plenty of time!!
