You can't deny the appeal of their pop sensibilities. Plus, they're all so dreamy. :kiss:

Throbbing red, actually.

 

[Black Rose]

In no particular order... For your viewing pleasure

1) Any incarnation of John Petrucci...
Dreamtheater + Octivarium Orchestra
As a father of an autistic 7 year old boy, this tune hits me squarely in the heart every time I hear it.

I've never heard that song before (only ever seem to hear Pull me Under).

Solitary Shell is amazing.

 

[bobisculous]

I've never heard that song before (only ever seem to hear Pull me Under).

Solitary Shell is amazing.

You should listen to more of that album, SCORE. With the orchestra playing along, that was one hell of an performance.

 

[Brigadier]

Journey - especially pre-Escape
Rush
Kansas
Alabama
Triumph - the other Canadian power trio
Survivor
Queensryche - up thru Empire. Operation Mindcrime is brilliant.
Petra

 

[CobraMan]

Rush
Pink Floyd
AC-DC
Led Zeppelin
Iron Maiden

Well - my top 5 for today. So many others, listed above + more, but sadly not much in the way of newer bands to speak of.

Cheers,

Warning, I have varied, eclectic, and WIDE taste.

So do I and I think it's better that way.

I remember years ago (early 90s) when I picked up my weekly stash of CDs I walked up to the counter, plunked down a Thin Lizzy japanese import CD, a Gary Moore blues CD, a Scorpions CD, and an Enya CD.

The sales lady made a comment like "You have an interesting taste in music".

I told her that by listening to various types of music, I never got tired of any particular genre. "That makes sense".

My iPod playlist would drive a record executive over the edge

 

[geepondy]

Shoot, no mention of Devo.

There should be a thread for the top five rock videos and then maybe "Whip It" might make it.
