Well, my musical tastes have always tended towards the harder side of rock (once I got out of the Duran Duran phase - *shudder*) and I went through my most formative years with the REAL 80's (and...

Quote:One band that I have not seen mentioned put out what is in my opinion one of the best albums ever - Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime. If you've never heard it and like heavy rock with a touch...

Queensryche is still around putting out music. Their album after O:M, Empire, wasn't as good, but it was a good album."The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese." Steven Wright
