The Latest Score

Here are the twenty artists or bands that have most caught my attention, captured my interest, fired my imagination, impressed and intrigued me in recent years (not including those who already had my ears).

Opeth

Black Stone Cherry

Paul Gilbert

Zac Brown Band

Orianthi

Black Label Society

Dream Theater

Eli Young Band

Black Tide

Breaking Benjamin

Halfway to Hazard

Nightwish

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

MoZella

Elis

Shinedown

Thriving Ivory

Ingrid Michaelson

Apocalyptica

We are the Fallen

First prize, but no cash or any other tangible goodies, to the person who can come up with the best definition and description of my musical tastes. Simply saying "eclectic," "weird," "awful," or "great" won't cut it.

a lover of the ineffable blending of true music and lyrics that are real

That's pretty good, Myrtle. I like it.

Christopher, I'm flattered, but I'm not sure "progressive" is descriptive enough. Care to say more? (I believe I have you to thank, incidentally, for putting me on to Dream Theater. Thanks!)
