I definitely hear the "nasal" thing about his voice. More nowadays than in the early days. // Figge

That one's on my playlist, gary, plus two more Jay Ferguson songs. Good song. I got it from recommendation here, perhaps from you. :) // Figge

Not very invested in the genre and I find it hard to separate rock, pop, AOR and singer songwriter from the tag West Coast. I do have a West Coast/Rock playlist on Spotify and here are some of my favourites from that list (all late 70s-early 80s).... Pages - I Do Believe In You Christopher Cross - Ride Like The Wind Little River Band - The Night Owls Firefall - Strange Way Poco - Down T

Okay, now I've taken my time with this album. I wasn't really sure what to think or feel about it after first run through. After 4-5 listens during the week, I must admit to once again feeling very underwhelmed and dissatisfied. I just can't seem to get excited about anything he releases nowadays. It's all in the same formula, with the exact same background vocals, without any real hooks or me

Not bad.....but not very exciting either. I can easily enjoy this stuff though. // Figge

Good song actually. I liked some songs off the first album too but I've said it before, it gets very disjointed with all these different singers. I would've preferred one vocalist. // Figge

No, you shouldn't be embarrassed for liking any kind of music, but personally, I can't stand stuff like this. Horrible! // Figge

That was horrible, I'm afraid! // Figge

Not that many exciting new albums so far, apart from Ghost. Ghost - Impera Thunder - Dopamine Black Swan - Generation Mind Saffire - Taming The Hurricane Scorpions - Rock Believer FM - Thirteen Dare - Road To Eden // Figge

I like Trillion! Clear Approach is my fave but not by much. Griffin is a masterful vocalist. I've always loved the intro to "Make It Last Forever". Cool riff and that's what real drums sound like (compare to the new One Desire single, for example). :) // Figge

Looking at all the listed favourites here, I can safely say that any 3-4 year period from 1978 up until late 80's would be much better. All in my opinion, of course. :) // Figge

I loved the opening track on the debut (What You Believe In), but not much after that, I'm afraid. // Figge

Who did the mastering/production for "Never Say Never", Andrew? Was it JK as usual? // Figge

Great, great song. Should've been on the original release. // Figge

Yes, completely valid point, in my opinion. That Generation Radio track does sound good. // Figge

Surprisingly good, to be honest. Like it! // Figge

I agree, gary, even though I feel it's the same thing. I find it puzzling that someone wouldn't get the "aged badly" description. I'll give you that it's very subjective though, as with everything else regarding music. // Figge

I can't remember which I bought first, the Bad English debut or Queensryche's Empire. Those two were the first I bought, the same day or just a day or two between thme. // Figge

I wondered what happened to those songs. They were taken down from my playlists on Spotify, but I suspected it was a record deal, of course. So, Frontiers again? Thanks for the info noby. // Figge

"Might want to check your ears" You should read about placebo and not rely on your ears, buddy. They are not to be trusted. You should also learn how to read properly. After all, it's your first language. "I've never enjoyed listening to anything on mp3" That's a whole other debate and it's no trusted source on the difference between a properly converted MP3 through a

There's a difference, but most people won't hear it and wouldn't care. I'm totally convinced you wouldn't be able to distinguish the difference 100% of an ABX testing. Deaf? Demo quality?

That's a huge exaggeration on the sound difference between CD and MP3's, Dave. If you hear such a vast difference, there is something very wrong with the MP3/software. I bet 8 out of 10 people wouldn't even be able to tell the difference between 320 kbps MP3 and CD quality in a blind test on their own equipment. Even less chance with FLAC. In fact, it's been tested many times and well documented.
