I tend to agree with you Dave. I sort of overlooked Alan's contributions a bit in the early days, but when I got The Kindness Of Strangers, I loved his playing throughout that album. It has a similar sharp, staccato sound to Steve Howe at times. Love watching him play without a plectrum too, quite rare that amongst guitarists. For me though, SB's secret weapon has to be Ryo; the more I listen to him, the more I'm impressed with him. Love his stage presence too.

Barcelona - Freddie Mercury

Our sister website interviewed Steve at weekend, we had a listen of some of the tracks from the new album... One track in particular was JAW DROPPING!
This will hopefully blow the previous two albums out of the water.

Personally, I love the previous two albums, so if this is better it's going to be fantastic!

Currently on a Spock's Beard listening spree.
I've come to admire them more and more the more I listen to them. I know how important Neal was to the band, and I love watching him perform, he always puts in 100% on stage, but I do think Nick is the better singer live.
I love both the Nick and Neal eras equally; my top two SB albums are The Kindness Of Strangers and 10, one from each era.
Regarding Ted Leonard and the current era, I think he fits in quite well, but, so far, I prefer the two previous eras. The current music is very strong but maybe not quite as experimental as in the past. Still good stuff though.

Yet again playing Spock's Beard.
This time - Snow

Dream Theater - 'Black Clouds and Silver Linings' (2009) - Final album to have founding member Mike Portnoy on drums
3 discs - disc one is studio versions of each track, disc 2 is instrumental versions of each track, and disc 3 has cover versions of classic rock songs.
Listening to discs 2 and 3
I remember you sending me a copy of this Dave. I always liked the instrumental versions best
-
Spock's Beard - Day For Night
A good album though, if I'm honest, it's my least favourite of the Neal era.
-
Now playing:
Spock's Beard - The Light
Must admit, this is another album that's grown on me a lot lately. Top notch stuff, imo

This album has grown on me a lot lately, excellent album!
