So, now i am interested in what other records resonate with you. Name a few you like please.
That's kind of a difficult thing for me to answer, really. There are a lot of bands with so many albums they have released. Not all of them are good and not all of them appeal to me. I don't use Spotify or BandCamp so I don't follow specific bands online. I do read up on a few music forums, Heavy Harmonies being one. I like mostly rock and AOR, but I grew up in the 70's and 80's so I still listen to a lot of music from that time. I like some but not all of the modern progressive rock that is out there now. I also listen to some music from the British New Romantic period, Roxy Music, New Order and a few others.
A few favorite albums of mine are
Ghost Of The Machine - Panopticon
Khymera - Master Of Illusions, The Greatest Wonder and Stand Your Ground. The Greatest Wonder is my favorite of these 3
Work Of Art - Exhibits, Framework
Riverside - Love, Fear, And The Time Machine
Moonrise - The Lights Of A Distant Bay, Soul's Inner Pendulum, Stopover Life. Soul's Inner Pendulum is my favorite of these 3
New Order - Power, Corruption And Lies, Substance 1987
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon
Queensryche - The Warning, their 1982 Self-Titled EP
State Of Shock - Life, Love And Lies, Rock N Roll Romance
Rush - Moving Pictures, 2112, Signals
Face To Face - Self-Titled. This was the "new wave" band from Boston in 1984, not the punk band with the same name. Their singer Laurie Sargent also did a great job singing on some of the songs in the soundtrack to the movie Streets Of Fire.
Saraya - Self Titled, When The Blackbird Sings if there was one 80's band I would like to see get back together, it would be Saraya. That cannot happen though, two original members have passed away now.
These are a few of my favorites. There are many more bands and albums that I like, and other people will surely have different or maybe the same musical tastes as I do. I have always thought that is the beauty of and best thing about any music, it only has to please the listener and the artist.
