Camel - “The Snow Goose”
Tracks:
Another progressive rock band that I was introduced to by the members of ProgressiveEars.Com. It took me some time to finally buy this, and is the only Camel album I own to date. But it was suggested at their best work.
Metallica - “Master of Puppets”
Tracks:
Ah, Metallica. Maybe you wouldn’t have pegged me for a fan. But I am. Sure, it took me a while. I was first introduced to Metallica by my high school buddy, George. He was a real nice guy, and not someone you might think of as a metal-head. But Metallica was some of the more mellow stuff he listened to. He kept giving me this album and “Ride the...

Boards of Canada - “Music Has the Right to Children”
Tracks:
I have always had an interest in electronic music, but never knew where to look. Sure, I was introduced to Tangerine Dream in my late...

The Outfield - “Play Deep”
Tracks:
Growing up in the MTV age brought my ears and eyes to a wide range of music. It opened my ears even to the less commercial music. But The Outfield was one of those pop-melodic-rock bands that stuck with me, even to this day. And their debut album “Play Deep” is something that I purposely went out and bought on CD a few years ago to finally...

Brand X - “Unorthodox Behaviour”
I had heard for a long time that Phil Collins had been in another band that played jazz fusion, called Brand X, for years. Many, many times I had looked at their LP’s and CD’s, but never took the dive. Part of me was worried that I would hate them. Finally, earlier this year, I broke down and bought this album. Though mostly it was due to hearing some of bassist Percy Jones’...

Anglagard - “Hybris”
Tracks:
Thanks to the boys and girls at ProgessiveEars.Com, I was introduced to Anglagard. Though at first it was all talk and hype. Their limited catalog wasn’t in print until about five years ago.
Locanda Delle Fate - “Forse le Lucciole Non Si Amano Piú”
Tracks:
Now that I have been listening to my iPod a lot, I have been reminded of my favorites again. Time to get this going.
I mentioned this site before, but there is a wealth of information to be found from the members of ProgressiveEars.Com. Amongst the...

Rush - “Counterparts”
Tracks:
Somewhat of a momentous moment for my “Favorite Album” series. This is the first recording artist to grace the list for the second time. (Even though a few particular individuals have been on the list more then once, including Geddy Lee, who makes his third appearance here.) I used the term “fanboy” before...

Acoustic Alchemy - “Against the Grain”
Tracks:
I was introduced to Acoustic Alchemy by a former co-worker of mine. He was one of the vice presidents of the company and we shared a love of jazz. We traded CD’s quite often, and he let me borrow one of the Acoustic Alchemy’s earlier albums. I then went out and bought their latest at the time which was “Against...

The Cardigans - “First Band on the Moon”
Tracks:
I went out on a few dates with a young lady a couple of years before meeting Marcia. One day we stopped in Harmony House to browse around. She ended up buying this album on CD and we listened to it the rest of the evening. “Lovefool” was often played on the radio. Later I bought a copy, not sure if I really wanted to, but I took a chance....
