    Is someone already composing the Ystejam Top 100 :-}

    My personal favorites (in random order; some of the bands really can't be
    compared to others):

    Dream Theater (well, it's not completely random to mention DT first :-})
    Deep Purple (A real old love never dies)
    Kingdom Come
    Psychotic Waltz (It suprises me that I don't see this band mentioned very
                     often here, if ever)
    Wicked Marya (My discovery of '94)
    Hydrophobia (Just because the bass player is great... or am I too
                     arrogant now ... :-})
    Queensryche
    Fates Warning (I hope they'll give a concert in the Netherlands someday that
                     won't be cancelled :-/)
    Queen (Still too bad...)
    Sieges Even (I guess not many YJers heard of them; a German band, keep your
                     ears open for them)
    Metallica
    WCW (Whistler Courbois Wistler - a wonderfull instrumental Dutch
                     band)
    Satriani
    Tamas (Hongarian, great guitarist, ` la Satriani)

    and...

    Chopin, Grieg, Beethoven, Vivaldi, Rachmaninov

    and a lot more

    I'll second the postings about George Winston. I have all but his newest
    release. December
    is my favorite (especially the P. Canon in D). If the mafia came to my
    house and took all my CD's
    except two, I'd keep 1. Images and Words and 2. George Winston December.

    For those of you who like piano music, check out Harry Connick Jr's self
    titled 1987 release. It's
    all instrumental piano (no vocals). He's a tremendous piano player. This CD
    is a mix of classical/jazz/swing piano. It's excellent.

    HI guys, just got back to college after the xmas vacation - happy new
    year and all that..

    I keep hearing rumours of a _february_ gig here in the UK - I guess if
    anyone knows about it, you lot will - anyone know when and where it is.

    Also are the tour dates for March out yet??

    Cheerz, Jezza.

    Don't let this mostly cheesy "singles" compilation ruin your opinion of
    Marillion....try Script for a Jester's Tear, Fugazi, or Misplaced
    Childhood. Half the stuff on "6 of one..." is from their two worst
    albums, after Fish left.

    They don't have a hard-rock "edge" like Dream Theater but their first
    few albums are very powerful musically and lyrically, and have a
    magical quality to them.

    With all of the posts regarding musical taste, I cant resist tossing my two
    cents in. Aside from the standard DT + Rush + QR lists that keep popping up,
    I think I can add a few musicians that very few people would mention:

    Every note recorded by Marty Friedman.
    ^^^^^
    T-Ride--too cool to talk about

    Dave Uhrich--not really progressive Chicago guitar wizard who deserves a
    place in every cd collection

    Leviathan--Europe's DT

    Imperium--Europe's FW

    Damn the Machine--very Rush influenced music from former Megadeth fretman
    Chris Poland with a piss poor singer

    Rage--rough around the edges, but they show lots of promise on 'Reflections
    of a Shadow'--the only album I've been able to find by them

    Dead End--this is for the gentleman who was asking about Asian/Oriental bands.
    This all Japanese band sounds very progressive and injects a very cool
    flavor into their music. Most lyrics are _not_ in English
    (Dead End, Shambara, Metal Blade, 7 72334-2)

    Blue Murder--standard HM song-writing, true, but check out the interplay
    between Sykes guitar and the very cool fretless bass workout provided by
    Tony Franklin (first album)

    Here's my standard top 10 list in very loose sequence:

    Dream Theater
    Rush
    Queensryche
    Joe Satriani
    Lillian Axe
    Marty Friedman
    Savatage
    Extreme
    Fates Warning
    Helloween/Gamma Ray

    Thanks for listening,

    Pete

            Wow... another Manowar fan! ALL of their stuff is good,
    especially Hail to England, which is a true classic. I guess I'll go over
    the stuff I'm into since everyone else is...
            
            Manowar, Yngwie, Testament, Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Bach,
    Dream Theater (of course), Megadeth, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Anthrax,
    Sepultura, Holst, Carcass, Metallica, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Skyclad
            Thats about it... I only have about 61 CD (unlike everyone else
    on here who seems to have at least 200, or says they do) although its
    growing quickly.... I see my tastes are not nearly as cosmopolitan as
    many, I'm into metal more than anything else, although I do like classical
    also. While I think being willing to give a listen to anything
    musicwise, I think their is such a thing as being so open minded your
    brain falls out. This is when you start liking rap, reggae, and funk.
    Apologies to any toes I step on :).
            I went down to the Cd store the other day, looking for Andreas
    Segovia's "My Favorites" that I heard about on here, and it sounded good,
    so I went and looked for it. They didnt have it, or at least they didn't
    seem to. There classical section seemed sort of jumbled, so if it was
    there Im not surprised I couldnt find it... I will be keeping an eye out
    for that and Elliot Fisk's 24 Caprices classical guitar album. That
    sounded really good also.

    This is an album that is all of their singles that have been released, from
    their previous albums. So it does represent their other stuff very well but
    of my favorite Marilion songs the oonly one that is on SIX OF ONE.... is
    Assassing.

    I also saw someone write that most 'Metal Heads' don't like DT. I think the
    reason is because of the keyboards.

    That is strange most of the Metal Heads I know including myself think DT is
    awesome.

    With all these discussions about musical tastes and such I'm

    considering how many people around here like Eric Johnson
    and Joe Satriani. Marc Bonilla is hot!!

    First of all, sorry for the non-DT content...
    Just a couple of quick notes on a couple of posts I saw...
    First of all, WOW!! Somebody else who knows Scatterbrain! Definitely a
    VERY unique band! Some of my favorite songs of theirs include Down With
    the Ship, their version of Mozart's 11th (I THINK that's right), and
    their cover of LL Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out (which is AWESOME)!
    As for Danny Elfman, he is an excellent composer who's responsible for
    the score of many a movie or TV show, including: the Batman movies,
    Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure,
    Back to School, The Simpsons, and MANY others! I'd recommend checking
    out his work! He is also lead singer and (I think; somebody back me up
    on this) guitarist for Boingo, formerly known as Oingo Boingo. Talented man!

    Cool! I relly like these guys... They fit into one of my favorite

    Well, everyone else is doing it, so why not... Here is an incomplete
    list of my favortite bands...

    Prog Metal:
    DT, Fates Warning, Queensryche, Rush

    Rock:
    Van Halen, Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, Candlebox, STP, Coverdale/Page, AiC,
    Black Crowes, Tesla, Whitesnake

    Guitar/instrumental:
    Satriani, Eric Johnson, Vai, Gary Hoey

    There are some more, but these are the primary ones... I do like some
    classical stuff, but never really bought too many CDs... The one
    soundtrack that people would also probably like would be Jurassic
    Park... One of my friends back at school (who just about only listens
    to classical, although last year, some people got him listening to
    Metallica also... some combination:) has the CD and I borrowed it, and
    it was pretty good...

    Oh well, I might as well add my $.02 to the favorite music discussion...

    (In no particular order)

    Loreena McKennitt - Canadian harpist/soprano/musician

    Judith Pintar - harpist (I want to be able to play like her)

    Michael Hedges - acoustic guitar god (if you haven't seen him live...)

    George Winston - already discussed on this list

    Rush (older)

    Queensryche

    Synergy - a cornerstone of electronic music (the reason I decided to learn the theme from Dvorak's New World Symphony on the harp)

    Shadowfax - indescribable - check out Watercourse Way, everything else is a bit newage (which rhymes with sewage)

    Doro Pesch (sp?) / Warlock - German metal

    Wonderboy - basic pop/rock with (IMO) great lyrics. Racer records will send out a free sampler CD.

    Moussourgsky (sp?) - Pictures at an Exhibition

    Beethoven

    Genesis - Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme, Trick of the Tail, Winds and Wuthering

    G'n'R's Appetite for Destruction

    Oh yeah, and that band that had that album "When Dream and Day Untie" <g>

    Will Ackerman, Alex diGrassi - typical Windham Hill guitarists...

    Vai - Sex & Religion (pushing my edge of weirdness - but then I'm a hidebound conservative)

    Saraya, Vixen - hard rock with a female vocalist

    Heart - (Dog and Butterfly) - soft rock with a female vocalist

    A little variation there. I play harp (though the wings and halo are in hock), so that influences the music I like. Also I have a passion for the female voice. (I think I have a voice fetish - to go with my foot fetish, my earlobe fetish, my bellybutton fetish, my (fill in the blank) fetish, and my fetish fetish. <g>)

    The did in fact play "The Ones Who Help to Set the Sun" in Toronto. But, not may people recognized it!

    Well after all the talk about her on the list I was thinking of getting an album of hers. Which one do you guys think is best?

    I reckon I have no choice but to be a slave to the craze :-) So here goes, some of my favorite bands/artists divided according to genres or something.. It would be far too hard to make a ranking list. (After the first three places which are taken by Dream Theater, Pantera, and Carcass respectively)

    prog rock / prog metal: death/black metal: Dream Theater Edge of Sanity Enchant Therion Queensryche Cynic Death Fates Warning Morbid Angel Auditory Imagery Carcass Amorphis (!)

    (those of you who've heard Cynic probably know why I placed it between prog metal and death metal.. :-) Splendid stuff!) other metal: Old stuff: Pantera Rush Machine Head Uriah Heep Testament ELP Sepultura King Crimson Atheist Metallica Slayer Paradise Lost Manowar

    Okay then, I guess that just about covers it :) One more thing (still non-dt, sorry): I've been hearing good things about Phish. Now I'd like to know what they're like and which of their album should I go for.. Please e-mail me if you have comments or recommendations. Thanks.

    I got my DT shirt a couple of days before Christmas and I think it is great. Good material, design and it says Let the light surround you" that was the clintcher. I think "Let the light surround you" should be the offical Ytse Jam slogan how about you?

    Dear jammers,

    Hey, what's up? I've been lurking for awhile on this list, I figure it's time for me to jump back in!

    Firstly, Dan Tshin wrote:

    <<< Hi, I have a question. How many of you know of Asians/Orientals in Rock music? Is it THAT rare to find anyone of Asian descent in this biz? When DT first came out I noticed John Myung was Chinese (or is he Korean?) but he didn't get all the publicity-Petrucci did. But NOW he is a couple of guitar and bass magazines and wow! his technique, style, and musicianship is excellent! >>>

    I know! When I first got into DT, I was surprised to see an Asian face (because I haven't seen too many Asians in the rock industry besides the Chinese CD stores in Chinatown). Of course, when I listened to him for the first time, I was blown away! He's the only talented Asian rock musician I know who made it big in the states. (Sorry to all of you Smashing Pumpkin fans!) BTW, his name (Myung) doens't sound like a Chinese name. Chinese names usually have only one syllable. BTW, I'm Chinese and I play guitar also! I also play French Horn.

    Nextly, WarmWetOs@aol.com wrote:

    I guess your neighborhood CD store is cleaned out?

    I'd like to jump into the "what I listen to" thread, but I'll keep mine short. Dream Theater (of course), Fates Warning (of course), Queensryche, Beatles (yes!!), Paul McCartney (Wings to recent stuff), John Lennon, Lea Salonga, the Miss Saigon soundtrack (love it! BTW, I won't buy any other soundtracks until I see the other plays. Yes, it's sad, I've only seen Miss Saigon twice and that's it. As soon as I have money, I'll rush out to Broadway to see all of the musicals!). I'll stop there with the bands, because I'd be going into a mess of 60's bands to 90's bands, metal bands, etc. like WarmWetOs. I love many many different classical composers, but the ones that stand out to me are Gustav Holst, Alan Menken, Howard Ashman, Tim Rice (I love these Disney composers!), Claude-Michel Schonberg, John Williams, and Robert Vaughn Williams.

    Well, that's my 2 cents!

    Yours, Jeff =)
