And it's nice to see that a kid his age can appreciate some of the originators of this stuff alongside the followers. Thanks, TDavid! As for the Priest comment, <i>Unleashed</i> is actually the album I've been eyeing most lately, so I'm probably going to have to pick that up! I remember when <i>Turbo</i> came out that a friend of mine practically survived on a diet of that album and I never got into it. I liked <i>Priest...Live!</i>, but for the older songs alone. The keyboards just didn't fit with me - a band that lean and mean sounding on some songs then turning around and lushing it up with keys? "It was the 80s," that's probably going to become a mantra for bands as they start explaining strange turns like this. Sounds like your son is very lucky to have parents like you two.
