Sieges Even (I guess not many YJers heard of them; a German band, keep your ears open for them) Metallica WCW (Whistler Courbois Wistler - a wonderfull instrumental Dutch band) Satriani Tamas (Hongarian, great guitarist, ` la Satriani) and...

I have all but his newest release. December is my favorite (especially the P. Canon in D). If the mafia came to my house and took all my CD's except two, I'd keep 1. Images and Words and 2. George Winston December. For those of you who like piano music, check out Harry Connick Jr's self titled 1987 release. It's all instrumental piano (no vocals). He's a tremendous piano player. This CD is a mix of classical/jazz/swing piano. It's excellent.

Don't let this mostly cheesy "singles" compilation ruin your opinion of Marillion....try Script for a Jester's Tear, Fugazi, or Misplaced Childhood. Half the stuff on "6 of one..." is from their two worst albums, after Fish left. They don't have a hard-rock "edge" like Dream Theater but their first few albums are very powerful musically and lyrically, and have a magical quality to them.

Aside from the standard DT + Rush + QR lists that keep popping up, I think I can add a few musicians that very few people would mention: Every note recorded by Marty Friedman. ^^^^^ T-Ride--too cool to talk about Dave Uhrich--not really progressive Chicago guitar wizard who deserves a place in every cd collection Leviathan--Europe's DT Imperium--Europe's FW Damn the Machine--very Rush influenced music from former Megadeth fretman Chris Poland with a piss poor singer Rage--rough around the edges, but they show lots of promise on 'Reflections of a Shadow'--the only album I've been able to find by them Dead End--this is for the gentleman who was asking about Asian/Oriental bands. This all Japanese band sounds very progressive and injects a very cool flavor into their music. Most lyrics are _not_ in English (Dead End, Shambara, Metal Blade, 7 72334-2) Blue Murder--standard HM song-writing, true, but check out the interplay between Sykes guitar and the very cool fretless bass workout provided by Tony Franklin (first album) Here's my standard top 10 list in very loose sequence: Dream Theater Rush Queensryche Joe Satriani Lillian Axe Marty Friedman Savatage Extreme Fates Warning Helloween/Gamma Ray Thanks for listening, Pete _______________________________________________________________ | Peter Dziadzka | Searching for a chord I can't hear | | email_address_removed | Been searching for years | |--------------------------| It's somewhere inside | | Fretboard Fiend, SF Fan, | But it's well disguised | |_________MtG Addict_______|______"If I Go Away" - Savatage_____| ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Jan 95 02:04:29 JST From: Kuniyuki OGUSHI To: email_address_removed Subject: MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE!!

Manowar, Triumph of Steel > > Mike Bahr, email_address_removed Wow... another Manowar fan! ALL of their stuff is good, especially Hail to England, which is a true classic. I guess I'll go over the stuff I'm into since everyone else is... Manowar, Yngwie, Testament, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Bach, Dream Theater (of course), Megadeth, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Anthrax, Sepultura, Holst, Carcass, Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Skyclad Thats about it... I only have about 61 CD (unlike everyone else on here who seems to have at least 200, or says they do) although its growing quickly.... I see my tastes are not nearly as cosmopolitan as many, I'm into metal more than anything else, although I do like classical also. While I think being willing to give a listen to anything musicwise, I think their is such a thing as being so open minded your brain falls out. This is when you start liking rap, reggae, and funk. Apologies to any toes I step on :). I went down to the Cd store the other day, looking for Andreas Segovia's "My Favorites" that I heard about on here, and it sounded good, so I went and looked for it. They didnt have it, or at least they didn't seem to. There classical section seemed sort of jumbled, so if it was there Im not surprised I couldnt find it... I will be keeping an eye out for that and Elliot Fisk's 24 Caprices classical guitar album. That sounded really good also.

This is an album that is all of their singles that have been released, from their previous albums. So it does represent their other stuff very well but of my favorite Marilion songs the oonly one that is on SIX OF ONE.... is Assassing.

Just a couple of quick notes on a couple of posts I saw... First of all, WOW!! Somebody else who knows Scatterbrain! Definitely a VERY unique band! Some of my favorite songs of theirs include Down With the Ship, their version of Mozart's 11th (I THINK that's right), and their cover of LL Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out (which is AWESOME)! As for Danny Elfman, he is an excellent composer who's responsible for the score of many a movie or TV show, including: the Batman movies, Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Back to School, The Simpsons, and MANY others! I'd recommend checking out his work! He is also lead singer and (I think; somebody back me up on this) guitarist for Boingo, formerly known as Oingo Boingo.

(In no particular order) Loreena McKennitt - Canadian harpist/soprano/musician Judith Pintar - harpist (I want to be able to play like her) Michael Hedges - acoustic guitar god (if you haven't seen him live...) George Winston - already discussed on this list Rush (older) Queensryche Synergy - a cornerstone of electronic music (the reason I decided to learn the theme from Dvorak's New World Symphony on the harp) Shadowfax - indescribable - check out Watercourse Way, everything else is a bit newage (which rhymes with sewage) Doro Pesch (sp?) / Warlock - German metal Wonderboy - basic pop/rock with (IMO) great lyrics. Racer records will send out a free sampler CD. Moussourgsky (sp?) - Pictures at an Exhibition Beethoven Genesis - Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, Trick of the Tail, Winds and Wuthering G'n'R's Appetite for Destruction Oh yeah, and that band that had that album "When Dream and Day Untie" Will Ackerman, Alex diGrassi - typical Windham Hill guitarists... Vai - Sex & Religion (pushing my edge of weirdness - but then I'm a hidebound conservative) Saraya, Vixen - hard rock with a female vocalist Heart - (Dog and Butterfly) - soft rock with a female vocalist A little variation there. I play harp (though the wings and halo are in hock), so that influences the music I like. Also I have a passion for the female voice. (I think I have a voice fetish - to go with my foot fetish, my earlobe fetish, my bellybutton fetish, my (fill in the blank) fetish, and my fetish fetish. ) -- Tim ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Jan 1995 13:52:57 -0500 From: Greg "Big Brother" Lee To: email_address_removed Subject: Older material done live.

It would be far too hard to make a ranking list. (After the first three places which are taken by Dream Theater, Pantera, and Carcass respectively) prog rock / prog metal: death/black metal: Dream Theater Edge of Sanity Enchant Therion Queensryche Cynic Death Fates Warning Morbid Angel Auditory Imagery Carcass Amorphis (!) (those of you who've heard Cynic probably know why I placed it between prog metal and death metal.. :-) Splendid stuff!) other metal: Old stuff: Pantera Rush Machine Head Uriah Heep Testament ELP Sepultura King Crimson Atheist Metallica Slayer Paradise Lost Manowar Okay then, I guess that just about covers it :) One more thing (still non-dt, sorry): I've been hearing good things about Phish. Now I'd like to know what they're like and which of their album should I go for.. Please e-mail me if you have comments or recommendations.

Is it THAT rare to find anyone of Asian descent in this biz? When DT first came out I noticed John Myung was Chinese (or is he Korean?) but he didn't get all the publicity-Petrucci did. But NOW he is a couple of guitar and bass magazines and wow! his technique, style, and musicianship is excellent! >>> I know! When I first got into DT, I was surprised to see an Asian face (because I haven't seen too many Asians in the rock industry besides the Chinese CD stores in Chinatown). Of course, when I listened to him for the first time, I was blown away! He's the only talented Asian rock musician I know who made it big in the states. (Sorry to all of you Smashing Pumpkin fans!) BTW, his name (Myung) doens't sound like a Chinese name. Chinese names usually have only one syllable. BTW, I'm Chinese and I play guitar also! I also play French Horn.

As soon as I have money, I'll rush out to Broadway to see all of the musicals!). I'll stop there with the bands, because I'd be going into a mess of 60's bands to 90's bands, metal bands, etc. like WarmWetOs. I love many many different classical composers, but the ones that stand out to me are Gustav Holst, Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Tim Rice (I love these Disney composers!), Claude-Michel Schonberg, John Williams, and Robert Vaughn Williams.
