Diversity is the spice of life....

[Justin G]

My kinda thread!!
In rotation today:

Unruly Child - Worlds Collide
Leverage - Blind Fire
Rush - Hold Your Fire
Rob Moratti - Victory
White Lion - Pride
Shark Island - Law of the Order
Tyketto - Don't Come Easy
Pretty Maids - Pandemonium
Lillian Axe - Poetic Justice
Lizzy Borden - Visual Lies

Justin - how is that Fergie Frederickson disc? I'm on the fence about purchasing it.

Now that's my kind of playlist! The Frederiksen disc is great if you like that ultra-polished, ultra-wimpy Frontiers AOR. Not much rocking going on, but if you dig Survivor and Toto you'll probably love it. Same with the new Kimball-Jamison and Mecca discs.

EDIT - The new Frederiksen is way better than Equilibrium, for whatever that's worth.

 

[OrbWeaver]

Justin.....yup. I'm all about the Frontiers catalogue - I love "METAL" as much as the next guy or gal, but I'm also a huge softie for the AOR/melodic rock scene as well!!

I just ordered The Magnificent and the Fergie Frederikson discs.......look forward to hearing them both.

Maybe not being diverse via genre.. but playing various bits of prog from Yes to Rush to Ayreon, Magenta, the flower kings, etc

Maybe I'm just a hopeless cynic, but that F&TM video seemed like a grab at a Kate Bush/Tori Amos vibe, but with neither the sophistication nor conviction. The female-fronted art rock landscape is such a wasteland. Somewhere Tracy Hitchings is kicking back with quiet satisfaction that despite only modest acclaim, she did it better than 99.9% of the others.

Err, in the spirit of not hijacking the thread completely....

Fates Warning - Parallels
Warrant - Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich
Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy
