Ha, as I was listening to 'Dont Walk Away' I thought to myself, I bet Geoff loves this song! Its a good ballad, but a bit simplistic for me........a nice mellow end to the album though. Yeah, I dunno, it's just one of those songs that got me immediately and has never, ever left. Waite's voice, his vocal delivery in those really hooky verses and then that simple, but (to me) perfectly delivered chorus. Yeah... that's a piece of art to me, that song. Pure and simple. Love the album. 'Tough Times Dont Last' is my pick of the bunch. Excellent song.

Cool list mate. Haven't heard Hit the Lights yet but suspect that will be high on my list. I thought Like a Storm was pretty good, probably will rate a bit higher for me. As for Europe I wasn't going to bother listening and now I'm sure I won't.

Heavy Harmonies gets a plug on p23. Cool looking mag, how often will it be released and how much does it cost to view online?

Nice looking package and only $40 pre order. Going to find out how much the digital version is first but will pick this up for sure.

How many times have they returned to L.A.? Why don't they just fucking stay there!? Seriously though what's with the soundalike album names...it's just damn confusing.

Lame lyrics. The song is ok.

Couldn't agree more, always hated the sound of those songs and the whole album despite some great songs. It just sounds weak.

If you're not sure whether or not a particular band falls within these constraints, just ask (realistically, it's an aesthetic judgment). Which is , I guess, fair enough. I think a lot of us do like Kate Bush , Genesis and similar bands/artists though. Makes me feel they are floating around that boundary? I suspect quite a few like 'Grunge' as well, but say it very quietly. Thats fair enough. I think we all like stuff that kind of sits on the boundary a bit in terms of musical styles and genres. I remember before Bryan Adams and Richard Marx were welcomed to HHs I started an unofficial rally type of thing in the polls section - and we won! ?

Can't agree with the Bonfire patchy comment but I will say, releases today are mostly ridiculous and it's why I just play the old stuff. Can't miss there and I have a ton to choose from I think everything from the late 90's onwards has been patchy. Not terrible by any means, and some excellent songs among them, but plenty of dud songs in there. Still a band I will always check out but for me, the first two albums are all I really need from this mob. I assume you mean albums two and three? 'Don't touch the light' is hardly a world beater. Yeah, you know what I mean ? Fire Works and Point Blank. Knock Out isn't bad either.

Suitable for HHs, absolutely. I know it's not heavy but I think the scope of musical styles and genres that HHs represents is made clear on the main page and being heavy certainly is not a requirement. As for Prince and Kate Bush not being on the site...no comment from me ? Glad your giving Toto a try anyway, Peter, they're some pretty cool and super talented lads.

I've never been a huge fan of Bonfire despite some brilliant songs. Too patchy overall. But I have to say when I compare that song to everything else I've been hearing on these forums lately it stacks up ok if not better than a lot of stuff. Man is there some pure shit coming out lately. I wouldn't put this song in that pile, IMO.

Still haven't found the time to delve into this list.

Nope looked but can't find anything. Good song though.

Very sad news again. Everyone is dropping it seems lately...RIP

Very sad news. We exchanged a few PMs back then and I remember clearly his regular CD collecyion updates about how many quality quantity all silver pressed CDs he had. RIP.

Welcome ?

Planet 3 Jay Graydon Parber & Kerstein Greg Guidry Bob Hallifan Jr Go For It Plenty of goodies already mentioned by Jez an co but these are some of my favourites. There's a song I think by Jay Graydon but also on one of the Planet 3 discs called 'Roxanne' that I just love.

Still looking for any of these. Will trade CDs for them or buy. Cheers.

Good song. Think I have that comp in my collection too.

Ah well thats good to know. Just saw the name and memories of this came back.

Yes, why not?? Cmon guests.

Welcome Dennis.

Happy Birthday mate ?

Wow Glen, I thought you would be the last person to lay down a negative comment on this...you seemed so positive in the lead up to this one. Guess things can easily change though when you hear a whole album rather than just a few promotional highlights. I'm still enjoying it, definitely a few tracks that are a bit too mellow for me, but excellent production, musically these guys are very talented and some nice song writing on here as well.
