While I own most of the titles on your list, they did not make mine.<br /><br />I thought I was the only person in the world who knew of Redemption or Guilt Machine...and Catherine Wheel? Someone else who remembers Catherin Wheel! <br /><br />"Scenes From A Memory" would be my Dream Theater title, but "Awake" is a good one. And you can nver go wrong with Rush! They're bypassing Phoenix this summer so I am bummed. <br /><br />But the selection you made that made me curse my list for not even considering it, was the 80's album that proved concept albums were still alive and well-Mindcrime, of course!<br /><br />Excellent choices all.DiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-31939685360919220662010-05-18T21:02:39.944-04:002010-05-18T21:02:39.944-04:00Beautiful covers!

The closest I get is Trans-Siberian Orchestra:<br /><br />Two Decembers ago I heard the song "Christmas Canon" played repeatedly on the radio and came to love it. So, I bought the album 'The Christmas Attic' only to discover that "Christmas Canon" was the only song on it that I really liked. "The Three Kings And I" I thought was pretty good but just not "Christmassy" to me. And the rest I never could get into. <br /><br />Oh well... it takes all kinds, eh?<br /><br />~ "Lonesome Dogg" McD-FensStephen T.

They were looking at one of those big airport maps that say "You Are Here." It reminded me of Spinal Tap. I hate to say it, but that's the only connection I have to any of your choices! But I agree with Tessa, it's fascinating to see other people's musical choices. Just like writing, it's all subjective.
