Re: WAB music!!

I must admit my fave album at the moment is Snow Patrols Eyes Open. I am not so impressed by Evanescence The Doors Open as I was with their earlier albums.

At my age I go right back to the fifties so I have many areas of music that have stuck with me but my main love is heavy Rock from Led Zep onwards. Later groups are Killers, Green Day, Hard Fi, Muse, Doves, Cold Play, Kasabian, Razorlight, Creed, Kaiser Chiefs, Linkin Park, Nickleback, Keane.

I was brought up on Rock and my main hero was way back in the early 60's when Duane Eddy was my biggest influence (I even named my son after him). This obviously progressed through the Liverpool influence, not so much in the flower power era but when the likes of Stranglers, Soft Cell, ELO, Roxy Music & Thin Lizzy hit the scenes things got interesting. Led Zepplin & Yes were a major influences also and I love Yes' Close to the edge allbum and Jon Anderson's solo album, Olias of Sunnhilow was superb.

I can add the likes of Enya, Clannad, Enigma to the list

I could go on but one other album that has captured my imagination is one I downloaded the other week just out of sheer curiosity because it was being heavily advertised on the TV. it was entitled Encore by Globus. It won't everyone's cup of tea but I think it is brilliant, especially the first track.
