One of these things is not like the others.

Lol.. my musical taste is very broad. I like classical, salsa, vallenato, reggae, death metal, techno, trance, grunge, ambient, and a few more.

I like almost every style except Country and fucking Reggaeton.

When somebody says the word "blaze" does that cause anger and hatred?

Also, what's your opinion on A Matter of Life and Death? IMO their greatest album since Seventh Son

no, it was a matter of circumstance. If anything, I was pissed at Bruce for putting them in that situation.

Quit honestly, I like Dance of Death better. My kids love Wildest Dreams and Dance of Death from that album. I'm partial to Paschendale and Montsegur.

I was also fortunate to go to their Somewhere Back in Time concert in Houston last year. It was amazing.

Subject to change over time. Hard to pick just five. I tend to love one album by an artist and dislike most of the rest that I hear from them, or I love what I've heard but it's not enough to call them a favorite artist. Randy Travis, Dream Theater, Heart, Smile.DK, Portishead, Chris LeDoux, Queensryche, Altan, Lisa Stansfield, The Doobie Brothers, and more fall into this area.

Bands I might have answered with five years ago:

Genesis
The Moody Blues
Pink Floyd
Pantera
Nine Inch Nails

Genesis was my favorite band for probably 18 years, but I've heard all the songs SO many times, and I'm a different person now. I can't believe I'm actually leaving them off the list...but, life goes on.
