    Amberian Dawn

    A band from Finland formed in 2006, yet another top notch group of Scandinavian musicians of which there seems to be and endless supply at the moment. They have a Powerful Symphonic style which caught my ear in much the same way Epica and Nightwish did. A passive non judgmental listening to...

    Well Covered

    Covers again, but ones you enjoy and think do justice to the song. Sometimes the original takes a bit of beating but some covers are very close and some are better. See what crops up.

    30 Years From Now

    If folk are still collecting in the future I wonder which albums from the 2000's people will consider classic rock gems in thirty years time. Which will be real collectors items, which will make most of the top lists etc. I think there could be quite a few contenders. I'd put the Graveyard...

    Eric Clapton "Just The Blues"

    In The Attic.
