Hello everyone, I'm doing some impromptu research.

[Poll #1264707]

As I said above, it's not a test so don't get too neurotic about it, I'm just curious. Feel free to discuss The State Of Pop In 2008 further in the comments, if you want. Linking to YouTube videos and that is very much encouraged; get on a soapbox.

I'm totally getting the Ayreon, from that.

I'm kind of torn between excitement and total disinterest re: Dragonforce. I'm not really sure they could top 'Inhuman Rampage' for me.

Yeah, the Ayreon album has grown on me, this has been a proggy year...

Though the lyrics to "Web of Lies" are pure cheese, but good flute action:

If that song's as tongue-in-cheek as I think it is, it just rocketed into the top of my end of year list. Superb bit of violin going on.
