Mary Margaret Ohara - Miss AmericaI'd take it on CD or vinyl. 
I'm thinking that youngsters are getting burned .
I don't understand about kids getting a bad break. A teenager plunks down a couple hundred dollars and carries around several thousand songs downloaded / swapped for free.In the mid 70's, a couple hundred bucks would get you maybe a combo am/fm ph...

The Volebeats Solitude CD. The instrumentals I can only desctribe as Country Surf Guitar music.Also digging the Detroit Cobras. Mink Rat or Rabbit release. Fun old school garage band sound.The Devil Makes Three is another band that's interesting. ... 
Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.
Selling England By The Pound, in my opinion is by far the best recording done by this great band. Perhaps influenced by the fact that it was the first tour that I saw. I still play this at least once a month. After that, I would list Foxtrot, Lamb... 
Starter Turntable

Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks
Although I don't consider it eerie, the soundtrack to "The Falcon And The Snowman" might be a good one. Pat Matheney and Lyle Mayes are a great team.

Currently in the Rock/Pop Genre its The Shins. Chutes Too Narrow is a great CD. Smart lyrics and very easy to listen to.
