There's no accounting for tastes. Legolas Send a noteboard - 21/11/2010 01:56:33 PM
I have heard of the name, but can't remember actively listening to them. Quoting the article I linked below they seem to mix "progressive elements to power metal and classical music", which does not sound like my kinda thing and makes me think of the dreaded female opera metal of Within Temptation and Nightwish, which I can't stand

Nightwish has some fantastic songs with Tarja, and so does Within Temptation. I'll admit that neither is really of the same quality in terms of songwriting as the likes of Maiden or Queensrÿche, but I love the female opera voices. But then, I sometimes enjoy real opera too.

I agree about S&M, they don't have those pompous female voices *NM* ironclad - 22/11/2010 11:16:17 AM 441 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 733 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 793 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 434 Views
Okay, I got their Metropolis Pt. 2 along with Queensrÿche's "Mindcrime at the Moore". Legolas - 22/11/2010 11:42:57 PM 765 Views
Excellent, have fun! ironclad - 23/11/2010 12:29:43 PM 847 Views
It just seemed like this was the more likely board to appreciate this discussion. Tashmere - 24/11/2010 12:47:52 AM 769 Views
Mindcrime is pretty awesome, haven't gotten around to the other one yet. Legolas - 25/11/2010 10:24:32 PM 790 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 853 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 848 Views
Do you like either ordinary metal or progressive rock, then? Legolas - 21/11/2010 02:40:31 AM 900 Views

Looks like there is a lot in that link to keep me busy investigating. Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:20:21 AM 951 Views
Not me, I've never heard of them. *NM* Legolas - 22/11/2010 10:17:47 AM 416 Views
Me neither. *NM* ironclad - 22/11/2010 11:17:38 AM 462 Views
I guess that's a no, then. Legolas - 21/11/2010 01:52:11 PM 720 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 847 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 477 Views
Well, it's not as if those terms are recent inventions. Legolas - 22/11/2010 10:15:41 AM 921 Views
That is incredibly sad. Tashmere - 22/11/2010 10:18:30 PM 820 Views
That is how I usually experience music Camilla - 21/11/2010 11:11:03 AM 725 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 457 Views

I am always being suprised by how much is out there that I have never heard of. Tashmere - 22/11/2010 01:14:50 AM 790 Views
yeah, I do that too. Stephen - 22/11/2010 12:35:23 PM 809 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 785 Views
Fantastic band, especially live. One of the finest records of 2009. ironclad - 22/11/2010 10:42:47 PM 902 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 928 Views
