Do you like either ordinary metal or progressive rock, then? Legolas Send a noteboard - 21/11/2010 02:40:31 AM
My taste is all over the place as well. I have liked what I have heard of Queensryche but when I go music shopping I never see their cds and I forget about them until somebody mentions them again. "Best I Can" is up my alley. "Silent Lucidity" not so much.

Ah, well. I love Silent Lucidity. But my knowledge of Queensrÿche songs is just as limited as that of Dream Theater songs: i.e. limited to the greatest hits CD.
I like their lyrics, or at least the ones I have heard. They seem to put a lot of thought into what they are saying.

Yeah, I've seen them described as "the thinking person's metal", and they do often have more depth than many metal songs. They're still not exactly Dylan, but within the genre they're pretty good lyrics-wise.
The "Best of" album sounds like a good way to go. I will have to see if they have it at our local Barnes and Nobel. Thanks for the tip.

I should add that it's actually called "Greatest Hit (...and 21 other pretty cool songs)". I guess they thought "Greatest Hits" or "Best Of" was too cliché.

I agree about S&M, they don't have those pompous female voices *NM* ironclad - 22/11/2010 11:16:17 AM 546 Views
My heart was broke when I found out that Michael Kamen died. I would love have seen what else he Tashmere - 22/11/2010 11:04:20 PM 955 Views
Then you should definitely check out Queensrÿche. I'm pretty sure he did a bit of work... Vodalus - 25/11/2010 10:16:02 PM 1016 Views
I totally missed this answer before! Thank you for answering. I will check it out! *NM* Tashmere - 30/11/2010 12:02:10 AM 552 Views
Okay, I got their Metropolis Pt. 2 along with Queensrÿche's "Mindcrime at the Moore". Legolas - 22/11/2010 11:42:57 PM 962 Views
Excellent, have fun! ironclad - 23/11/2010 12:29:43 PM 1040 Views
It just seemed like this was the more likely board to appreciate this discussion. Tashmere - 24/11/2010 12:47:52 AM 973 Views
Mindcrime is pretty awesome, haven't gotten around to the other one yet. Legolas - 25/11/2010 10:24:32 PM 1011 Views
Oh yeah. All the time. Bought Dream Theater's Best Of earlier this year, in fact. Legolas - 21/11/2010 12:07:11 AM 1067 Views
Apparently I do like that genre even though I just found out it was called progressive metal. Tashmere - 21/11/2010 02:08:27 AM 1085 Views

Looks like there is a lot in that link to keep me busy investigating. Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:20:21 AM 1158 Views

Me neither. *NM* ironclad - 22/11/2010 11:17:38 AM 571 Views
I guess that's a no, then. Legolas - 21/11/2010 01:52:11 PM 970 Views
Hardly! Just because I didn't know what the current name was for it doesn't mean I don't like it Tashmere - 21/11/2010 04:00:41 PM 1095 Views
P.S. I was listening to that stuff before you were born. We just didn't have fancy words for it. *NM* Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:21:55 AM 593 Views

You are just a busy woman with plenty of other things to explore or to keep you busy. *NM* Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:30:08 AM 554 Views

That was fun. What an odd little group. Do you have any other songs of theirs you really like? Tashmere - 22/11/2010 10:25:39 PM 1003 Views
Fantastic band, especially live. One of the finest records of 2009. ironclad - 22/11/2010 10:42:47 PM 1104 Views
I am good with the acoustic version. It seems to fit the song. Sometimes the acoustic version is the Tashmere - 22/11/2010 11:02:25 PM 1169 Views
