I like Eloy
but to each their own. When you hear most of their works, you can truly make a final judgement.
Really liked Y&T and The Gourishankar, too.
Excellent journal Trollheart. I'm in love with the format. And your choices have been stellar thus far. My first journal flopped (because of my own indecision on format, in part). I hope it wouldn't be improper to make a journal with a similar format. It's really concise and informative, with the comments section steering you away from writing a run-on review. Keep your eyes open for me reviewing some albums in a similar format.
Oh, also, Eloy's origins lie in Germany.
