Our Lady Peace - Starseed


That's a winner right there; excellent call.

I'm going to add "Sole Survivor" by Asia as well.

I don't know what my favorite Sonata Arctica song is, but it has to be something off Ecliptica since that's the only album of theirs that I like.

Shame! :tdwn

They have the odd song now and then that I enjoy but overall, man, I do not like the direction they took.

But hey, if it's what they want to do, more power to them. I just don't care for it.

I'm just surprised you don't at least love Ecliptica if you like Silence! Most people waited to ditch them until after the fourth album.  :lol

Pearl Jam - Black is a good call, and is probably mine as well.  However, I haven't listened to anything new from Pearl Jam in a long time so who knows; maybe there's a song I'd like better.

Thinking about Zeppelin, my favorite of theirs might be "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You."

King Crimson was mentioned a couple of times, but I can't agree with that... They later released Fractured and Starless!

I struggled with that; "Given To Fly" is a great, great song.

I'd put "Sunshine", but  good call with AiC.

I cannot think of any that fit the criteria for me.

Outside of the obvious of Boston and GnR, I'd agree.  I'll bet there are others, but I can't think of it off the top of my head.

I thought about that, but "Telegraph Road", and side two of "Brothers In Arms".

There are a lot of debut records where I like a lot of songs, but I struggle to come up with some that are my favorite songs.

Maybe Devin Townsend (if you don't count Punky Brüster) with Regulator or Bastard or Funeral?

Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.   ;D

Exactly. Starless is their masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.


Radiohead - Creep

and while I think Creep is a good song, this is pretty much a ridiculous call. They've released numerous songs that are far, far better.

I guess I'm waiting on Haken like some other folks.

Dio is a good call, Rainbow in the Dark or Don't Talk to Strangers or a title track, I would pick one of those.
This first band is Soen very cool swingy jazz fusion kinda stuff.

Their newish album Sirens was pretty good. But I usually go back to the old stuff.

I agree with you, musically. I just can't get into the vocals too much even though I've spent a lot of time trying. The only time the vocals gave me chills was on Creep. But musically I think OK Computer is a superior album.

What's ridiculous is putting "Radiohead" and "good" in the same sentence.  :)

I'm not familiar with much arcade fire besides the first album so I'll second that one sure

Wait until Haken releases their next album and I'll post celestial elixir here

Exactly this! even though I absolutely love Haken, Celestial Elixir is absolute perfection for me! (I even think that it will eventually be one of my top 3 songs ever by any band).
