(I got his greatest hits album and I wasn't too crazy about the first disc but this second one is a tad better. I still can't wait till it's done and I can listen to something else).
Light - I bought it. I love it. I listen to it far too much. When I have some money, I'm going to perpetuate materialistic craving and purchase their other albums.
I used to really like Dream Theater, but I think they've become quite repetitive and even (gasp!) a little boring.
The only album by them I really like is Scenes from a Memory... then again I'm a huge sucker for concept albums w/ song cycles (where all the songs flow into each other, tell a story).
James LaBrie's voice is pretty inconsistent live though. I only enjoy DT as a studio band.

How can you say Dream Theater is repetitive? Blasphemy!
As for LaBrie's voice, he damaged it a while back, I think he has recovered by now. I know he had a stage where his vocals were just awful, but I am pretty sure it should be fine now. I missed the chance to see them live and they don't seem to leave USA often... so I guess I'll never know.
Spotify all day every day at work. Mix of Eddie Vedder , Son House, Funkadelic and Anthrax today. Just making a mix for tomorrow most likely a punk rock Saturday.
HI GuyC ... Do you mean que sera as in the song made famous by Doris Day
" Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be. "
as a student many years ago I worked in a dementia unit which provided care for residents who had dementia with severe behavioural disturbances and this song was repeated played over and over through the PA system .... no-one ( in terms of the staff working there) were able to explain, reflect or even had a comment to make on the music which was played ... after leaving that placement. at a 10 day Vipassana Meditation in the tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin as taught by S.N. Goenke my mind was repeated taken back to that song ... your post reminded me of this
A really exciting pharmacology lecture on neuromuscular blocking agents, their receptor sites, and the antagonists thereof. Anybody want to join in the fun?
Actually, at the moment, "The Lost Cuban Trios of Casa Marina" - absolutely wonderful stuff!
Huun-Huur-Tu: Sixty Horses in My Herd
Tuvan throat singing anyone? Look it up and have a listen if you have never heard this - it is amazing - Tibetan monks learn this this technique for chanting. One set of vocal chords - two (maybe three) simultaneous tones!

Actually Tuvans are Mongolian. Throat singing is big in Mongolia.
Few links of songs I'm currently on listening to, or have just listened to in the past hour. I mostly listen to Japanese music, I've a great ammount of respect for Japanese people, culture and way of life. I rarely listen to English music.

Catchy. Like some sort of disease. /obscure reference
Disturbed are amazing. Did you listen to their last album ("Asylum")? It's great, recommended highly.
Woot I really like Dream Theater.
Whilst at work now I'm listening to Muse.
In metta,

Anyways NP: "Twisted Coil" by Guilt Machine.

The singer has a very Glenn Danzigesque voice.
here's a link so you can enjoy it too

Before I clicked your youtube link, I was listening to The Island, Pt 1: Dawn, by Pendulum.
Mountains - he was a scary, scary man, but his voice was tremendous

I'm listening to:
"Reuben's Train (Live)" by Harry Manx
http://www.helpmechill.com/invite.htm
It's rather good. And free to listen to. Which appeals to my inner Yorkshire-bloke

(One of those many bands that come from Long Beach and are influenced heavily by Sublime).
Mr. Scruff
Chicago Transit Authority (their 1st album is amazing)

Actually the Gobi was my favorite place in Mongolia. Loved it there, and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd actually go there.

Dir En Grey - Uncut video, makes Marilyn Manson look like a Carebear. (18+)
Versailles: Philharonic Quintet - My favorite band, ever.
At this very second I am listening to Evanescence, one of few English spoken bands I do enjoy listening to. Amy Lee's voice is fantastic.
Nice. Any D'espairsray to go along with that?
