Dragon Force definitely go too far into "are they just ****ing around or are they for real?" territory for me. Too many notes!

After his second album, Marching Out, it's all downhill as far as I know. One of my favorite solo's from the Malm to the Steen is on Marching out though, and there's a few other good tunes.

Solo from @ 3:15 - 4:32

He spent his load after that and got all glitzy and lazy. The only good tune I can think of after Marching is Leviathon off of Fire and Ice (an instrumental, thank God), and his work with Alcatrazz and Steeler were note worthy, but still cheesy af. I stopped listening a while ago, so maybe he's done other decent stuff since.

The essence of any good Yngwie Malmsteen track.

Like most people, I'm easily bored by neo classical noodling, but this is really good.
There's some nuance here and I love his tone. I've always been a sucker for a good solo, so I could listen to this on repeat.

I'll have to check this album out more closely.

I somehow acquired a Chris de Burgh collection, maybe I lost a bet or was otherwise being punished, I don't really remember but it was utterly horrific.

Cool. Let me know what you think.

I've got a bunch of "Why'd They Bother?" LPs, like A Sleep Teaching Record and Spontaneous, In-the-cab Recordings of the New York Taxi Driver, but those at least have kitsch value. These on the other hand... I've no excuse.

Miami Sound Machine > Frownland

Miami Sound Machine have a few pretty good singles actually. If you like the 80's synth pop sound I dunno why'd you be ashamed.

Got it in the dollar bin at the local record store. I'm not embarrassed about owning it, but I feel embarrassed for Tim Curry listening to it.

Honorable mention:

Bf found a sealed copy in the communal dumpster.
