I like a few Mandy Moore songs I think she has a good voice but rarely does the background music match the quality of her voice in her music but she has a few really good songs.

What's wrong with that album ? it is a classic in the repertoire of rock music.

I agree without. So right minded person can say that Pet Sounds isn't at least a really good album. Brian Wilson was an important factor in putting the prog rock mindset in pop music.

Alan Menken's "The hunchback of Notre Dame". It's a Disney's soundtrack, but I really liked a couple of songs.
And in general, a soundtrack is like a concept album, not so far from the prog standards

I'm not embarrassed about any of the music that I like.  It's everyone else who is wrongWink
When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

Also, I, uh... like the poppy Yes albums... there, I said it.

I also have occasional ABBA, Don McLean, Duran Duran, Enya and Andrew Lloyd Weber moods, but they're fading as time goes on, thank God.

    
You know that Supper's Ready is awful? I have no comment.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity
