[Jon]

Good stuff there! I'll try to one-up you this weekend. :-)

I love those 2 disc anthology collections, have a bunch of those as well as the ones that are, sadly, just single discs. The Iced Earth is fantastic, I still have to get the followup though. Shaw-Blades is a very good album as well.

[Jon]

And for my final jaunt to Borders I got:


Helloween--"Gambling With The Devil"
Gamma Ray--"Island Of The Free II"
Rod Stewart--"The Definitive Rod Stewart"
Blondie--"Parallel Lines"
The Fireman--"Electric Arguments"
Meat Loaf--"The Very Best Of Meat Loaf"


Plus a bunch of non-music related DVD's. I think I'm done shopping there...unless it drops to 75% off. :-) poo

Hey. let me know what you think of "Cyclorama". I love that album and seem to be in the minority.

[RJhog]

Will do. I'll try to give it a listen tomorrow.
