Actually Änglagĺrd was the closest call for me, i hope you mean albums not a specific song, and yet there is no similarites to the One Hit Wonder cultur in pop a was refering to, a good sign tough making music for the sake of music instead money ------------- "Oh, yes, sitting-the great leveler.

One hit wonder? Try Yes with 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'. That's the only song I've ever heard on the radio, and it plays constantly. But we all know they're better than that, so let's try... Styx with Come Sail Away. |

Heh, that's just you. A lot of people think Aenima as a masterpiece (that includes me) and Undertow get's respect too (I actually know people who only like Undertow from Tool albums). |

Although Hybris stands out, epilog is far from a none-worthy successor ------------- "Oh, yes, sitting-the great leveler. From the mightiest pharaoh to the lowliest peasant, who doesn't enjoy a good sit?" |
