Music to Impress my Kid's Friends?

The new Gaslight Anthem album "Handwritten" is indeed excellent.

Grace Potter & the Nocturnals-"Grace Potter & the Nocturnals" is a very good and popular album with the college crowd. Try "Paris" and "Medicine" with the volume turned up a little.

One of the albums I pull out for the kids is Kid Rock's "Rock and Roll Jesus". Be careful, there are a couple of "nasty", (read this as old school Kid Rock rap) songs, but play "Amen", "All Summer Long", "Rock & Roll Jesus" and "Blue Jeans and a Rosary". Guaranteed to put a smile on their faces.

Wouldn't your own kids be the best source of what they and their close friends are listening to?

Kids today are no different than we were - different groups, whether high school kids, college age or older, like different artists. I know what I thought of Grand Funk Railroad in 1970 but knew some others who loved them.

So, if you're trying to impress a group of students, go to the source. This forum isn't it. ;-)

MLsstl: And what do you think of Grand Funk today? :)

Your actions are bound to get the kids to move back in when they finish college. Hey, after listening to 'quality' sound why would they want anything else.

Can't say I've heard a Grand Funk song since college, but my opinion hasn't changed. However, it's a big world; there is something for everyone.
