wow hering, the only band I've hear of that you listed is Del Amitri. I'll have to check out the others - thanks!

Regarding Marillion, I felt the chemistry of the band changed a lot after Fish. The new singer has a great voice, but other than the song "Easter", it just didn't do it for me like the other albums. The album Bsides Themselves with Fish is great if you haven't checked it out...

Thanks again for the reply
