[TIM (2)]

One thing that struck me when putting this list together was that there have been a lot of great/consistent discs this year with barely a filler on them, but that lack a big standout tune.

2. TRIVIUM - Shogun

3. BROTHER FIRETRIBE - Wildest Dreams

4. ANBERLIN - Breathe

5. ECLIPSE - Unbreakable

6. SHINEDOWN - Call Me

7. JOURNEY - Turn Down the World

8. IN THIS MOMENT - Into the Light

9. FUNERAL FOR A FRIEND - Beneath the Burning Tree

10. HAREM SCAREM - Calm Before the Storm

11. WORK OF ART - Once In A Lifetime

12. SONIC SYNDICATE - My Escape

Yeah top choice there. I'm not into the H.E.A.T album (as everyone knows!) but "Follow Me" is a killer. I'm gonna add SAFETYSUIT's "Something I Said" to my list too, as I didn't realise this album was 2008. Stunning song....

[Geoff]

Work Of Art - Cover Me

Why are we the only ones awesome enough to have this on our lists? This is just the sweetest slab of melodic rock from this year imo.

 

Of course I shoud add that 'Wildest Dreams' by Brother Firetribe was an accidental exclusion from my list. Along with many others.

[aMetalhead1966]

Sweet F.A. -"Blue Eyed Soul"

Rockarma- "Bad 'Ass' June"

[heaven&hell]

Sweet F.A. -"Blue Eyed Soul"

Great song.

[Geoff]

Yeah top choice there. I'm not into the H.E.A.T album (as everyone knows!) but "Follow Me" is a killer.

You really puzzled me with this one, mate. We do often agree but we are just miles off on this HEAT disc. I just reviewed this yesterday for Ipod selection and 'Follow me' was actually the cut-off for the songs that didn't make it on (even if I still love 5 of the 6 that didn't make it). Meaning it was the best of the 6 that didn't make it, making it my 7th favourite song on the disc, but I personally much prefer:

 

There For You

Never Let Go

Keep On Dreaming

Cry

Feel It Again

Bring The Stars

 

I thought you would LOVE something like 'Bring the stars' which would have to be my pick of the disc. How do you not like this disc???

[KarpetRydOFunk]

For once a have a short simple answer:

 

The Scarecrow - Avantasia

 

I love this song. It inspires me, incredibly.
