Sorry Pete, Marko and Tarja, should they ever get together in a band, which is doubtful, will never ever be as big or even bigger than Nightwish. Toumas is the heart and soul of Nightwish and Floor is on another level to the previous vocalists, Tarja and Marko/Tarot play smaller venue's in Finland, Nightwish play arenas throughout Europe. Marko's last album, Pyre Of The Black Heart was released on CD in both Finnish and English.

Highest recommendation for TNFO. AOR, yacht rock, disco, 80's, all rolled into one. You get Speed from Soilwork showing off what a great singer he is. They've actually had a pretty steady lineup from the beginning losing only the keyboardist and guitarist.. Unfortunately one of the big losses was David Andersson who we know tragically took his own life
Years ago Old Man Prog busted my balls for asking if he was going to get the new one in, and he said it wasn't exactly for his usual crowd. He's brought in every album since.

Another Japan shipment?!?!?! Damn… Opens wallet… Lol. Snagged those Tee and Co. albums along with some Kazumi Watanabe. I'll have to grab that Elvin Jones album next time around
Ken, are you bringing in any more of the live Vanessa album?

Thanks for another great episode Pete and Ken.
That first song off Gin Lady I thought I was listening to The Moody Blues. Acoustic guitar and the vocals were right on point with To Our Children’s Children’s Children’s.
