I just realized I answered my own doubts in the above post. :p
Progholio,I was at the St. Louis show, also. I was right up in front of Jessica wearing a Zappa shirt. Thanks to my wife, I was also first in the merch line after the show. My son and daughter were...
Vocals work fine for me. One of my top ten albums of 2014.
I actually like Creep. Not nearly my favorite by them, but a fun song to sing along with on singstar/rock band games. I like much of their later music more, but for different purposes. Still trying...
I love this album. It captures many sides of his musical stew in a work full of songs that have stuck with me. I like it better than any other Erik solo album.
Outstanding. I have been on a real Ella and Sassy kick lately. I've been working my way through all of the Songbook albums...big task that. Both just simply magical vocalists.
In fact, I just...
Oort sounds good. I dig it. Of course, this one was an auto-buy anyway. 2007 was a long time ago.
Really looking forward to this. I think the three cuts that make up The Mystic and the Muse are very good songs.
My wife got mine a few years ago for my birthday, with Popoff's autograph and personal message to me. I love my wife.
I would like to get more of his books. The Sabbath one, in particular, has...
No worry about Black Mountain sounding like a death metal band. Not even close. Clean vocals all around, both male and female. No cookie monsters in sight. They are only heavy in more of a classic...
Totally agree. He was little more than window dressing much of the time. When he did get to shine a bit it was quite noticable...in a good way.
I think they should go the classic Rare Bird route and skip the guitar...just bass, drums and lots of keys. Bring Derek forward in the mix.
I was a bit bummed by all of this when I first read it a...
Oh, and to chime in on Imaginos... I love it, even though it is not "really" a BOC record. When it was released, I was fooled enough by the credits in my cassette to believe that the original band...
Yeah you would think that Frontiers would be all over them. They sign EVERYBODY that used to be anybody. I have a few old artists/new material albums from Frontiers. Still some life left in many of...
Toto is cool. I own all of their albums. Some are quite good rock/pop, some are a bit too much on the cheesy side. Falling In Between was a great way to go out. I thought the previous...
BOC was my favorite band for a number of years. Still love 'em, but Eric and Donald have (in my eyes) turned the band into a joke. They are the stereotypical county fair/casino oldies circuit band,...
Sugar came out in 1987. Mutt and Shania didn't get together until the nineties.
This got lost in the shuffle when I picked it up a few months ago along with a bunch of other new releases. I immediately connected to everything else I bought, but Echolyn wasn't making an...
I am a DeYoung guy all the way. One Hundred Years From Now is the best Styx album since Paradise Theater to my ears. Yes, it counts as a Styx album, because Dennis IS Styx. This has been...
This is one outstanding group of musicians. So much so that it almost seems likely that it will fail to match ridiculously high expectations. I surely expect to buy it and enjoy it, no matter. Andy...
I don't hold Wilson up as any sort of musical god who is above criticism. Sometimes he bores the shit out of me. Some of his side projects are quite good as sleep aids. I always dug PT and own most...
Yeah, definitely one of the first couple of albums that came to mind when I saw that PE was revisiting 2003.
Be was such a hit with me that I bought every one of their remaining studio albums...
I voted. Four of my picks made the top ten albums. Eight were in the top thirty-four. I was one of three votes for another and the sole vote for my final pick.
My top three songs came in at...
I am really late to this party. Just got around to checking out Beardfish in December. I now own all of their albums, plus the first Gungfly album. This and Mammoth were my gateway drugs. Wow. How...
I will echo what LeFrog said. There is plenty of material on this album that is much more active, like Luminol. I am still not sure if I like it more than Grace, but after a few listens it is a close...
Now playing the whole Volta catalogue on shuffle. I only listen to them when that certain mood strikes, but when it does there is nothing else like TMV. I am a bit bummed they are defunct, but am...
Got my votes in. I hope I win the new custom built mansion!
I was fairly active on the SB message board when this came out. I absolutely loved the first five albums. PapaJim narrated a soundclip teaser for Snow before the release and I was totally sucked into...
Used the rest of my Christmas cash to go a second round at Kinesis. Decided to finish off my Beardfish collection and got their first five albums. Scored the last copy Larry had of their out of print...
This is the only one I own. Strangely, I never bought the original version, so I can't compare. Just listened to the Roine mix last week for the first time in ages and it sounded great. Never thought...

I will totally second Ann-Marie and Laura from IZZ. Everything they sing on becomes instantly better.
Laurie Ann Haus, formerly of Ephemeral Sun, currently leader of Todesbonden. I dig Harvest...
I own and enjoy the two latest Joe solo albums. I like what he does. Guess I am a man of simple tastes. I don't require innovation. I don't listen to music with my brain only.
However, I still...
Since damn near all of my favorite artists put out albums in 2012, I will go with the new Steven Wilson...unless Izz or Little Atlas manage to get their next albums out in 2013...then I will have to...
Ann and Pat are both awesome.
I think Ann is great as a role model for young girls like my daughter who have concerns about their weight. See that woman rocking out up there baby? The one that...
Not really, no. They had their moments. I remember when Kayleigh and Lavender were all over the radio in Colorado (where I was as a late teen). I liked the songs, but not enough to ever buy those...
Don't you mean starting and not start?
Don't you mean gripe and not grip?
Oh, I also think A Collection was better than most of what made the album. Also, Sympathy (both versions) is nice, but I much prefer the original Rare Bird version.
Not one of my favorite Marillion albums. I tend to prefer everything from Afraid of Sunlight up to Sounds that Can't Be Made over ANYTHING that came prior.
However, I do like this album. I mainly...
Harvest of Souls is great and The Great Nothing almost singlehandedly made me a fan of modern prog. Totally second those choices. However...
