Great list Kon, sorry you are not feeling well. I hope you get better soon.

 

O.A.R.? :inquisitive: Who's that?

 

EDIT: Just checked out their website... Very nice...

 

Listening to one of their songs now. Sounds pretty damn good so far. Thanks 2732.

Of A Revolution, O.A.R. Their album All Sides was better than VLV for a while to me. It is that good. Every song is amazing. You should check out the sing "Shattered" You can find it on youtube, you'd probably love it

cool, definitely check out "shattered"

I like that one and On My Way. Some of it is slightly generic but as a whole its a pretty good listen. Its positive and upbeat and I like that aspect of it. It may at times, dip into a little bit too much sweetness for its own good though. They accel the most on the album when they change up their style a bit. Not sure it will make my top 25 but definately worth the listen.

well that's also just that album. if you're serious about liking them, you should check out their older stuff. far from generic
