Fun fact - Mike Kerr actually uses a bass guitar instead of a normal guitar and does all the bass and "guitar" parts. He's also responsible for all the backing vocals. In a live setting the backing vocal parts are either triggered by Ben on the drums or, like recently, there is a third guy on the keys who helps them with all the extra parts. They are usually quite busy during a live set, especially Mike who has to manouvre between the pedals as he's basically acting as both the guitar and bass player in the band. It's definitely worth seeing them live and it never ceases to amaze me how much noise they can make being basically a duo.

Surprised to learn that the last track of Highway to Hell was Love Hungry Man? Always thought Night Prowler was the last track on that AC/DC album. Also worth mentioning that by 1980 disco was considered dead, and in the Eighties electronic dance music emerged. Cannot really say the 'E' took me out of my 'familiarity' because Mountains At Midnight clearly uses the key of E. Do not think that Blur is actually modern punk, rather, modern pop-punk has it origins in bands like Green Day. Drums as near as I could count are beating out common time. Nice to see Royal Blood on JHRA.

@@phoenixgirl70 But it ends up being a weird circular argument because if you have a band that you can fit into four different genres, it describes very little about what their music sounds like. Or even within one genre, you can say someone's a pop artist so that's what they sound like, but that doesn't mean that Bing Crosby's sound has much in common with Taylor Swift's sound just because they're both pop artists. Sure, their careers are 90 years apart, but they're both pop. I'm old enough to have heard of emo music before I actually heard it, and once I did, I was surprised that it was straight up rock, as far as I can tell. Meanwhile, no one calls Def Leppard an emo band even though they sometimes write about bringin' on the heartbreak and whatnot. None of the genre labels have any consistency, which is why I tend to zone out when people start debating it.
