Tim : I love all the stuff from Devin Townsend (he is a genius), inculded SYL which is a killer band. My fav is the mighty City, brutal, powerful but also melodic. The new Devin Townsend, "Ziltoid The Omnscient" is a real killer disc.
Yes, you re right it s far from AOR, but I really love that style too. Im open minded. If the music is good, so its good for me
