Actually, if you saw the 'review' of 'Babylon' I posted a week or so ago you would have noticed that I said that it was, in the end, an impressive piece of work despite the way the result was achieved. (A reference to the plagiarism on offer).

I also said it would sit well in any TEN fan's collection and recommended that people get a listen to it themselves and make up their own minds. Sounds fair enough doesn't it?

The reason I post other recommendations on melodicrock.com is because I feel there is a whole world of music out there that some people on this board may be into if they actually heard it. I know other people have turned me on to some excellent new bands on this board and I hope I can do the same. I want to avoid this site becoming www.stuckinarut.com or www.tunnelvision.com and I believe Andrew has a similarly broad taste. I just think it's important that we all look forwards for the scene as well as backwards for inspiration.

And, for the record, both the TEN and EVERCLEAR will be in my personal end of year chart, but EVERCLEAR will be higher. Sorry, that's just my opinion. No reflection on yours or anyone elses whatsoever.
