| Anyone like these guys? Sahara is my favorite by them and though they are very melodic rock Jimi Bell plays some tasty licks on World Upside Down. I do wish they'd rock it up a little more, get a little more edgy but maybe that's just not them. I just ordered the new one for pretty cheap and hope it's as enjoyable as WUD. |

| I have to the first two albums the self titled album and Sahara, I mainly bought due to Greg Giuffria being in the band. I have no idea what the rest of the their discography sounds like, but IMO the two albums I own are very good melodic band and better Greg's previous band Giuffria.
Also great version of Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home" . It has been a long time since I have spun them. | |

| Giuffria was very hit and miss. |

| I've got the last two. Still absorbing Come To My Kingdom, but World Upside Down is great. | |

| I have all their studio albums. One of my very favorites. They are a band that has gotten better with age. Absolutely awesome. |

| I'm not falling for this again. I didn't much care for the original lineup of House Of Lords but I liked Giuffiria's work in Angel so when people started raving about The Power And The Myth, I decided to give it a shot. Nope, bored me to tears. Reminded me of Journey which regulars here know I hate with a passion. _________________ "The cat is the most ruthless, most terrifying of animals." - Spock in the "Catspaw" episode of ToS Season 2.

| Power and the Myth was their oddball album. But you aren't cool enough to like them, toho. |

| If Allen/Lande bores you, you won't like this. It's like PC69's mellow brother. | |

| No problem. I like AOR well enough (like the David Readman solo outing) but I'm really picky about it. Particularly if it's keyboard-heavy which HoL is since Giuffria plays keys. _________________ "The cat is the most ruthless, most terrifying of animals." - Spock in the "Catspaw" episode of ToS Season 2.

| I only have Sahara, and have never heard anything else from them. I rarely listen to Sahara and truth be told got it only for the Blind Faith cover. I will have to spin that one again soon and if I like it I will look into the rest of their discography if it's the right price. Peace.
I picked up their Anthology over the weekend and spun it today. I liked it. I will maybe pick up another this weekend as someone appears to have sold in a whole shiteload of their albums at the local Newbury's.

| I'm only familiar with a few of their songs that get some play every now & then on Hair Nation on sattellite radio. Too much fluff & keyborads for my taste. Not my cuppa tea. However I found one of their cd's in a Goodwill store that apparently is a rareity. Spec traded half of his collection and 10 minutes alone with his sister for it. | |

| They are one of the mellowest bands I listen to but they have something that grabs me. |

| My favorite is Demons Down. But as with almost any Giuffria product, I tend to like the "Steel" and be bored by the "Silk". And he always seems to split it just 50/50. | |

| But House of Lords is James Chrsitian's project now. Gregg is no longer a part of it. I think they are a much better band now. |

| I like the "demons down" cd a bit more than the previous one before it. Havn't really heard anything afterwards. If anyone cares...I was in a band for about 6 months with Dennis Chick, the guitar player on "demons down". | |

| Have always been a big fan of the Sahara album. I always thought they made a huge mistake by making the cover song the first single. That album should have been much bigger than it was. For some reason I just never kept up with them after.
On impulse I bought Come To My Kingdom. It was a lot mellower than I expected but I have to say I like it. | |

| They have never released a bad album, in my opinion. GREAT band, and James is one of the most underrated vocalists EVER, I think. Killer, killer voice. Arttie | |
