Only my opinion ..... in summary, there are no really bad Dare records.]]> garyabeels NoticeboardTue, 27 Nov 2012 04:44:31 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920657#msg-920657 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920657#msg-920657
They'd make good soundtrack albums for 'Far And Away' or 'Merlin'....that kind of thing.]]> rocknut NoticeboardMon, 26 Nov 2012 20:10:25 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920639#msg-920639 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920639#msg-920639
There were two obvious ones for me - one escapes me (duh) but the other was Ozzy's The Ultimate Sin.]]> the ORIGINAL brent NoticeboardMon, 26 Nov 2012 09:33:27 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920637#msg-920637 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920637#msg-920637
My wife and I even had it as birthing music for our 2nd boy (she claims it didn't help that much)!

But if you are in chill out mood and have a large glass of red handy, Dare are excellent. Just don't expect to start a party with them as the soundtrack.

There would be a lot of great music I would miss out on otherwise.

I find I'm lacking motivation to listen to an album that I know isn't liked by the people who made it. Fairly simple really. Puts me off. What's the point investing time and emotion into an album that isn't rated by its originators?]]> jamesrock NoticeboardMon, 26 Nov 2012 04:29:26 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920622#msg-920622 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920622#msg-920622

I like the band, but only the first 2 albums and, even then, OOTS is the only one I can play repeatedly. The songs on that are outstanding. Blood From Stone 'sounds' amazing, but it is VERY generic.]]> rocknut NoticeboardMon, 26 Nov 2012 03:53:03 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920616#msg-920616 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920616#msg-920616 Carl1 NoticeboardMon, 26 Nov 2012 02:55:44 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920614#msg-920614 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,920587,920614#msg-920614

The rest is pretty dull and boring, I'm afraid.

My personal recommendations would be:-

1. Out Of The Silence
2. Beneath The Shining Water
3. Arc Of The Dawn
4. Calm Before The Storm
5. Blood From Stone
6. Belief
