Yep I'm with Andrew on this argument (and it's all down to different tastes and preferences of course). For me as a teenager getting into melodic rock in the early 90s it was a case of spotting any songs/albums involving Mutt Lange, Keith Olsen, Desmond Child, Bob Rock, John and Dino Elefante and others that lead to numerous huge satisfactory and enjoyable purchases, often of bands I'd never heard of just based on those producers names alone.

Same with this guy. I love his songwriting and style and love the Toby Hitchcock and Jimi Jamison albums, plus W.E.T. and Eclipse from what I've heard (don't own an album of theirs yet). It does start sounding as familiar and with certain traits as songs I loved penned by the likes of Diane Warren, Jim Vallance, Jum Peterik, Mark Spiro etc etc and that's a great thing for me to have songwriters who almost guarantee a cracking good melodic rock tune!
