The words are as important as the sounds.
The sounds are as important as the words.

Running writer Karmin for whom I have the highest respect, regard, and appreciation beyond words, introduced me to no less than three of the seven artists represented above. There was already synchronicity with Lifehouse: Jason Wade rocks. Significantly, although not represented in a list of just twenty, Coldplay too. When WILL their new project come to light? Thanks again Karmin: Snow Patrol; DCfC; Anberlin were the ones. I have been a huge fan since 1958 of the best music I could find, and it is still getting better.

Old favourites I have been listening to: Pink Floyd (On the Turning Away), Sting (Walking on the Moon), Dire Straits (Brothers in Arms), and Radiohead (Paranoid Android).

This is the hilariously funny official video clip for Paranoid Android; still one of my all time favourite songs after all these years. The video - be warned – is for mature audiences, although not (quite) X rated. And if the sights are as important as the sounds and the words, as they seem to be these days, this must rate as the best of the best.
