Don't know if anyone else feels the same but I think Fish can barely hold a fucking tune.....

Never been a fan of his era of Marillion....and on ITEC he's probably = worst singer with Arjen.....Damien Wilson owns his ass.

On the basis of 'Extinct Instinct' I agree totally.....but then again, Fish is one of these guys who gets paid for being a singer....when he can't sing.

Kinda like Blaze Bayley.....or Robert Zimmerman.

Some people just have styles all their own. Fish stinks, but Bob? Bob is great!

by **Jonny B** » Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:34 am

You kidding me? I could listen to Fish all day long. There's a difference between being out-of-tune great, and out-of-tune bad. And singers such as Fish and Peter Gabriel (and I'll throw in Arjen for good measure) are out-of-tune great.

This week's AOTW goes to Blue Tears "Mad Bad & Dangerous." It's been awhile since I pulled out anything resembling 80's glam, and this compilation of unreleased tunes are almost classic. A few more keyboards and vocal harmonies would've made some of the songs as good as the debut.

'Out of tune great'? Yeah, ok.

Nurse.....

Brother Firetribe's "False Metal" is my ATOW.

by **Penny** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 11:07 pm

Poets of the Fall's Carnival of Rust is my AOTW this week. I like it a lot, but it hasn't made the impact that Signs of Life did.

by **Taliwakker** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 9:30 am

Aeon Spoke-Above the Buried Cry....not what you'd expect from half of Cynic but its still pretty good for a change of pace.

by **doggy** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 6:49 am

"Nowhere Land" by Slamer is my ATOW.

by **Jonny B** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 12:06 am

I'm listening to Within Temptation "The Silent Force" in celebration of their newly signed US record deal!

by **doggy** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 6:34 am

Been listening to "Silver" by 7 Heaven, so it gets my ATOW.

by **Serendipity** » Mon Jan 01, 2007 12:42 am

Symphony X - The Odyssey. It's been a while that I played it, while I really should have played it more often, because it still is getting better every time. Great songs, especially from song 4 and up.

Any concerts planned along with that deal, and reason for another celebration?

Miles Davis-Bitches Brew

I'm sure the US tour will be based on where they're getting the most US sales. When Nightwish did their tour, the furthest north they came was Worcester, MA. That's a 4 hour drive.

My AOTW goes to To-Mera "Transcendential," my [b]2006 Female Album of the Year.[/i]

by **SnakeLady** » Wed Jan 03, 2007 7:14 am

AOTW for me is Whitesnake - Live in the shadow of the blues

by **doggy** » Thu Jan 04, 2007 6:34 am

ATOW is " The Bridge " by classic old band 707.

... or where they think they will be getting the most sales perhaps. I don't know, I just hope you'll get to see them.

Beginning of the year cd cleanout. Haven't been listening to much music. However, a friend let me borrow a japanese band called The Black Mages. Video game music is taken extremely seriously in Japan, and this band is a prime example of this. This is an all-instrumental metal group that uses themes from the Final Fantasy series to build songs around. The original Japanese composer gets credit for the original themes, and the musicians shred like mad! If you're unfamiliar with video game music, this is worth checking out even more so. You'd be surprised just how much metal has in common with those old midi bloops and beeps of the 80's style video games.

I've always had a soft spot for video game music, but this is the first time I've got to hear it in full-metal form. That is why The Black Mages get my AOTW.

Aghora-Formless

JB might like this.....if you like To-Mera. This is a bit heavier....not much.

by **doggy** » Fri Jan 12, 2007 7:21 am

"Their Finest Hour" by E.F. Band, old NWOBHM classic is my ATOW.

by **Serendipity** » Fri Jan 12, 2007 11:28 pm

Al Stewart - Time Passages. The main reason: Life In Dark Water... eerie and beautiful at the same time. Part of the credit goes to Alan Parsons' outstanding production.

by **Kenny** » Thu Jan 18, 2007 10:51 pm

Well all the pointless Eddie/VH bashing in the VH forum has of course made me listen to them more.....consequently my AOTW is ......1984 by the great Van Halen.

by **Jonny B** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 10:42 am

My AOTW goes to the first female album of 2007: Elis "Griefshire."

Rest in peace, Sabine Dunser. :cry:

by **Taliwakker** » Fri Jan 19, 2007 11:31 am

Pure Reason Revolution-The Dark Third...fans of Floyd and earlier Porcupine Tree would love this.....in theory

Great album... and another one on your avatar

Night Ranger - Midnight Madness is mine this week. One of my all time favourites.

AOTW: Rush - Power Windows (what a frickin' surprise!)

Hi everyone! Thought I'd drop in and say hello! It's been a long time

You got that right!! How you been, Ghosty??

by **Serendipity** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 1:28 am

Hi, Ghost Rider!

by **Ghost Rider** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 12:21 pm

Thanks for the greetings. I've been pretty good, I'd say. Lots going on the last year - too much to post all at once! Here's a bit-by-bit rant on 2006:

Been working as usual like everyone else...
Dropped two strings to bass in May...
Finished my BSBA degree in June...
Severely dislocated my left elbow in a softball game in July...
Started graduate school in October...
Moved to a house in a lakefront community in November...
Patiently awaiting the new Rush album in April

That sums it up. Just thought I'd drop in a say hey. I'll be around.
