Got myself tickets for their London show in November,and as I've never seen them, looking forward to it.Of the older stuff Point of Know return is my favourite album.
 
Another rather short list for the letter ‘K’ in my collection.

One act dominates all others here, in many senses. I have 43 compact discs across 31 titles plus 22 vinyl titles; and, for good measure, I’ve been to 29 gigs.

I am a big fan of Kid Rock too.

I suppose I should roll out my Day on the Green in 1981 story for the umpteenth time - any excuse. REO Speedwagon, Kansas, UFO, 38 Special, Gamma were on the bill. One of my best friends and I were on holiday in the U.S. and he was the bass player in a band that never made it but had some press coverage so we knew Sounds’ photographer Ross Halfin and journalist Pete Makowski, who were on the road with UFO. Ross got us backstage passes to the event as guests of UFO.

Dave Hope, bass player with Kansas, wandered over to chat to us while he was waiting to go on stage, and we were just sat on a flight case before headed out front to watch them. He was a nice guy and of course didn’t know us from Adam. I also always remember Steve Walsh sucking up to promoter Bill Graham.

Killing Joke
King Crimson
King, Albert

Kinks, The

Not many people are going to agree with this, given the legendary classic rock bands we have produced in this country, but here goes! Anyway, it just so happens that my favourite two albums by any British artists EVER both happen land on the letter "K".

King Swamp's self-titled debut is exceptional in every way. Some superb 80s rock but mixed up with an edge of something harder and lyrically fantastic. Take this from "Year Zero":-

Year Zero and I'm back in the field.
Demolishing history for a new regime.
What were our virtues are now our sins.
The bad move out and the worse move in.

The guitars, the way some of the lyrics are mixed with some Lousiana mythos and the occasional use of dobro put this in my all-time top 5. Check it out if you don't know them

The other probably won't need an introduction, but despite the fact that many don't like them, Kula Shaker's debut K is a fantastic piece of 60s rock somehow released in the 90s. Some dynamite guitar, epic Hamoind Organ and a nice mix of Indian instruments knocks the socks off anything Oasis and Blur were putting out around the same time.

Also, my 3rd favourite album by a British band could well be classed as a "K", but I categorise by surnames, so I'll leave that one for now.

Fully agree with you on Kula Shaker; I haven’t kept track of them over the years, but that debut album was a great fun listen and they put on decent live shows; remember seeing them on what I think was my only ever gig in Blackburn. A good night.

Their first album was really the good but the second was a bit of a dog.
