I love that music like this is still being made. I owe these guys a CD buy or two. OP cited Dokken, but this is more AOR vein like Aviator, FM, LeRoux, Prophet, Roxus, or Signal. Bloody awesome.

I went through a similar drought, and similarly still consider the band an all-time favorite nonetheless. I did pick up their 2016 release, The Ninth Hour, and... - "White Pearl, Black Oceans - Part II" ... about as good as it gets, incredible song, graceful/ powerful/ epic/ infectious -...

Well, this got me out of hiding. Does it get any better than late-90s prog/power metal? Eternity X - The Edge, Shadow Gallery - Tyranny, Royal Hunt - Paradox, Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory, Ayreon - Electric Castle, Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray, Angra - Holy Land, Savatage -...

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...

Song would have fit perfectly on Genesis' "Calling All Stations" album.

What's Teddy Moller up to these days?

Awesome. I'd love for this to usher in a more tasteful, elegant version of DT for an album or two -- as seen on I&W and Awake. Portnoy brings a childish, low-brow aspect to the DT stew, it used to be balanced out by Kevin Moore back in the old days, but Mike's influence just grew and grew and...

1) Apparently I must see/buy this documentary. Sounds fantastic. 2) i) Presto. I can't believe no one is ranking this in there top 3. Show Don't Tell, THE PASS, Presto, Available Light. Red Tide, Chain Lightning, Anagram, War Paint ... amazing filler. ii) Permanent Waves. Spirit and...

Some great pop covers mentioned in this thread ... Vision Divine's "Take on Me", Avalon's "Kyrie". You can't go wrong with Blind Guardian's gover of the Chordettes' "Mr. Sandman" or Squealer's remake of "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode (I suppose that's not exactly pop). Sonata Arctica's...

Am I totally crazy for hearing Eleven and Big Wreck in the new stuff?

You'd think an official press release like that could spell Neil Peart's name right.

^ Dali's Dilemma, Elegy ... same difference. Gotta love all these late 90s genre references lately. Clockwork, Tad Morose, Dali's, Elegy.... The golden age.

Killer thread. I remember buying Search in 1997 direct from the band. Some really great Petrucci-style guitar chops to go along with heartfelt and intriguing vocals (not the operatic stylings typical of 90s prog metal). Above all that, really good song writers, not just following some cheap...

Went to two BBs tonight, it was sold out at the first but in stock at the second. It's definitely a two disc set, in a special case, containing 70-page liner notes -- pretty remarkable for $7.99. The first BB had it on an end cap with $7.99 signage, the second had it in the normal Rock "T"...

Opening/closing riff of that YouTube video sounds just like Brainstorm's Hollow Hideaway.

Awesome! My custom GC best-of, perhaps missing an album or two, appropriately named "Something for Everyone".... 01. Trip On Love 02. Shine 03. Life and Times 04. I Want You 05. T.I.M. 06. Pump Up the Space Suit 07. I Do What I Do 08. You've Changed 09. Bright Horizons 10. Puppet...

Nope. The Savatage and TSO song are nearly idententical if not totally identical. This isn't either one.

I'm more impressed seeing Jeff Scott Soto, LTE, and Concerto Moon listed! Of course, I'm sure Enchant will steal the show. Too bad I can't be there.... or can I??

How about "Glorious" by Nocturnal Rites?

Ecliptica Silence Reckoning Night Winterheart's Guild . . . . Unia Btw, anyone out there REALLY like the song of theirs "Mary Lou" (acoustic) from the Orientation EP? It's so different from their norm, like an SA version of Gordon Lightfoot or something, but I think I'd almost have...
