Give me a couple of links, Bupie ...  ;)

I'm not Bupie, but these are the most famous ABC songs:
The Look Of Love

All Of My Heart
'I will surrender my heart to the sky
Oh, our love doesn't end here, it lives forever on the wings of time'

*List*

Nice list Teunis! Only one album per band (apart from Asia, but I guess you could see both eras as two different bands).
Good to see Frost* in there. I was really impressed with it when it came out.
I also see ELO's "Out Of The Blue" being mentioned by you and also Iggy. I really like that album too. If I want something to cheer me up, this album is one of the few that can do it for me. Also, it's a perfect transition album between pop and prog. I've yet to meet the person who really hates this album. Every song could have been a hit.
I was also blown away by Neal Morse's "Testimony Two". I think it's much better that "Testimony 1".

Why not? ;D

Well, because he lives way too far North. But I could share most of its list ... even if it lacks a bit of metal  :)

Thanks. Indeed, I consider Asia and Asia FJP two different bands. I know Asia from my brother who played it during my childhood. Heat Of The Moment, Only Time Will Tell 8). And the 'Aria' album is always with me on holidays, love it.

Yeah, Frost* rules, bring on studio album III  *horns*

No fillers on this album, love it from start to finish! And I own a live DVD 'Out Of The Blue' live at Wembley. Great stuff.

There just has to be a NM album in my list. Saw him live at the Testimony Two tour, really fantastic.

;). You're right, only Shadow Gallery and Wolverine. Well, I own and dig all Shadow Gallery albums and could have added Threshold's 'March of Progress.

Agree ! Out Of The Blue was my fave album for some time. Played it over and over again. I like it just as much as A New World Record. It's just that ANWR was the revelation for me  *horns*

Probably hard for you guys to imagine that ELO and Oldfield were my fave groups/artists once upon a time. Guess I had more normal taste then  :o

Both of you guys live south and lack some metal, so you'r the same to me  :P
