But yeah there where a lot of bands and artists who could produce 2 or 3 really good songs but few who could keep performing to a high standard..

@Rose0415 Yep i like that police song.. But the song that had the most impact on me.. And it really did have an impact was King Of Pain.. Really sad song but i identified with it so much. Like it was a song made for me..

@Rose0415 Oh and i got the feeling that the song you like Wrapped around your finger was about the masonic lodge.. They lyrics just made me think about the masons..

I liked this video of the song.. They symbolism in it..

@Adstar most bands spend years working in the songs that appear on their first album but then have to come up with another batch in a year. That's why you see the sophomore slump so often.
