yea man i actually like some of that pop....but when you figure out it's all the same chord structure and mostly the same melodies really. it's lke oh.....bland. and i'm a millennial BTW. Mick

i will say also music fans n general are pretty Vocal about stuff they love and seem to be really rattled if someone doesn't like something they love. same if you like something they don't like it throws them. just an observation but i agree with a lot of other factors brought up here. Mick

don't listen to rush anymore but this general thing fascinates me. a lot of of older rock/metal/prog fans seem to have a ptoblem when they're holy band shifts to a pop-ier sound. or in this case more synth heavy sound. (and with signals on the sound did get more pop-y) i don't know what this or why older rock fans seem to hate pop. but it never fails. like that guy pete from the youtube channel Sea of tranquility. every album review or band review he seems to do. most of the times when he doesn't like an album. the main point of criticism is it's too pop-y. like it's a BAD awful sin, lol. to me these old farts are missing out on a whole era of gems.....cause. not enough of what they say sad band should be like, lol Mck

at least the debut is Mick

Kansas across the board for me. Mick

Pantara-Cowboys from Hell (10/10) son't play these guys enough. they are amazing. Dimebags solos give me actual chills. Mick

ok i've spent the past 3 or 4 days just combing over this band's work play and replaying albums i liked. and really studying albums i didn't. Since this band has nearly 20 albums i'm gonna rand least to best.. i find that easir for bands with bigger dicographies. The mighty......MEGADETH. 16. Risk 15 Super Collider 14. The World Needs A Hero 13. Thirteen (huh fun number line up, lol) 12. The System Has Failed 11. Endgame 10. United Abominations 9. Cryptic Writings 8. Dystopia 7. The Sick, The Dying........And the Dead!!!!! (i think this is even better than dystopia!!) 6. Killing is my Business.....And Business is Good!!!! 5. So Far, So good......So What!!!!! 4. Youthanasia 3. Countdown to Extinction 2. Peace Sells.....But Who's Buying???? 1. Rust In peace. This body of work was so interesting beause really i like the entire run form Killing to Cryptic Writings. AND my fav era like most i'm sure is when Dave had the lineup of him Dave Ellfson, Marty Friedman and Nick Menza. Megadeth was at it's band when it was more a BAND with that stable lineup. Risk shot that to hell. Now Risk......i didn't hate it nut that's not an album i wanna here from Megadeth. Bredline is a straight Bon Jovi song, lol And from there on for a while i think this groups biggest failing is the ever changing unstable lineups. although the 2 most recent has been their best in years IMO. i noticed this band falters when ever they go commercial. Apparently that's not something dave is good at, lol but i really like them. Mick

i watched this great interview. REALLY great discussion on his cancer battle and regaining his voice after. Mick

i haven't posted much because i've finally set aside time for a massive project i've had brewing for years. and i'm obsessed. so........Megadeth. i've actually played albums a bunch a times now i'm gonna post a ranking soon. Mick

Supertramp-Even in the quietest Moments (10/10) RIP Rick Mick

well this sucks. I love Supertramp and loved the swagger his songs brought. RIP Rick Mick

..........so? better them than fifth harmony, lol Mick

i love that last panic album. Cue Segue not helping himself and writing back "YOU GUYS CAN EAT MY POO PANIC STINKS and blah blah blah Taylor swift" cause he likes swift, lol Mick

Fauna was great too but Affinity is still my fav. Mick

hmmm........i like Affinity more than any Mastodon album if i'm leveling with you. BUT mastodon's a better band on the whole. I ADORE Affinity though. Mick
