    Age thing maybe? I was 18 when 'Appetite...' came out, but I'd already seen them on the Jonathan King show a couple of months earlier and liked them. Bought it straight away so I have the version with the banned cover.

    Apparently when they were told they had to change the cover because major retailers were refusing to stock it they wanted to change it to a picture of the space shuttle exploding...

    Got Kings of Leon first album, not my sort of thing at all. Kasabian? yeah, right.... Oasis first two are good, after that nope. Rock music finished for me after 'What's The Story...' Oasis were the last proper rock stars.

    Yes, possibly. I was 18 in 1977 which probably explains my penchant for things purple, black & (sometimes) pink.

    That decade makes a difference. My theory is that with the odd exception music you hear after about age 25 doesn't get its hooks into you the same way music you hear when you're younger than that did.

    Know what you mean. These days I tend to have 'flirtations' with new bands, or bands that are new to me but my ardour seldom lasts & then popping 'in rock' on the 401 is like slipping on a comfy pair of slippers.

    Not sure I agree about the age. My formative years, music-wise were the late '60s, yet the '70 produced so many good acts that the decade's music forms a sizable part of my collection. I was still listening to the music of the '80s, '90s and the '00s, and adding some acts to my collection (Jools Holland's 'Later' and Glastonbury were/are a big help in that regard).

    However things for me tailed off significantly in the '10s. Probably my age now, but I find modern acts to be either anodyne, ephemeral or just downright unlistenable. But in matters of taste: De gustibus non disputandem est - suum cuique.


    (BTW I do like Oasis's first two discs, but that more of it reminding me of a time and a place. Guns & Roses, Kasabian, Franz Ferdinand never did anything for me either.)

    For us, the Great War is finito, a war which would be a damn sight simpler if we just stayed in England and shot fifty thousand of our men a week.
