What's ONE band that's been around for 30+ years that you've recently discovered were far better than you ever imagined?

For me it was going back and playing a few #ManicStreetPreachers and realizing their body of work warranted far more consideration.

If ypu were to make an essentials playlist of Canadian rocker #BryanAdams, what 3 tracks would you need to include??

Mine are:
1-Kids Wanna Rock

Arguably one of the best rock albums since the turn of the century! "AM" by the #ArcticMonkeys is just solid from the first track right thru til the end.

For me, it's the #TragicallyHip!
