Wonder how many great albums I've missed because the album cover art was unappealing.

"Black Noise" had been issued previously, but went out of print, so this latest wave of re-issues is a godsend!! A "Con-Test" CD issue would be great to have next.

I just found out this weekend that 3 classic FM (Canada) prog albums are now (finally!) on CD: "Direct to Disc", "Surveillance" and "City of Fear". Just a heads-up to anyone who, like me, ranks these albums among the finest to ever come out of Canada! Now someone just needs to get late 70s Chilliwack titles on CD!!

Terrible loss. I loved Renaissance.

Bought this new Kid Rock and almost threw it out the window. Predictable and simplistic, it bored me silly with out-dated classic rock moves and more of that same old same, worn out schtick. Definitely one of the biggest disappointments of 2012!

Imaginos is one of my desert island discs, a brilliant and complex concert album that I never get tired of.

Florida Georgia Line- "Cruise". Has huge production values and a pretty rockin' chorus. Been a favorite of mine for a while now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PvebsWcpto Love and Theft- "Runaway". Not off their latest, but IMO their best song. These guys also do a pretty good cover of John Waite's "If You Ever Get Lonely" on their newest CD. http://www.you

Good call, on Fogelberg. He rocked it up a notch higher on "Don't Look Back" in 1987 from "Exiles".
