Firmly camped at my #5 - I don't think the latest is as good as KIDS IN
PHILLY, but it's a huge rebound from FLOAT AWAY. The live shows are
phenomenal, albeit loose as a goose, and although I can see Boss
similarities in the energy and approach, I don't see them as wannabes in the
least. Much more passion than just about anyone out there, and I think Dave
Bielanko's voice rules (there are those passionately on the other side of
the fence).

Given the nature of this list, I'm surprised I've not yet seen a single
mention of Squad Five-O, which I had even higher than Marah.
