OK, this is clearly gonna draw some fire, but anyway, here goes:
Does anyone think that Ms. Bush sometimes overdoes it a bit? By that I mean
a)Overorchestrates the Backgrounds
b)Uses vocal "tricks" which get annoying in quantity
Most people on this list seem to love the dreaming, but whatever I have heard f
rom the album doesn't strike me as much as Side one of HoL. It sounds a bit clu
ttered and unfocused. There are other songs on her assorted albums which strike
 me the same way, in that all the "extra" stuff going on (although interesting
enough) ends up detracting from the thrust of the song,from the total effect it
 potentially could have.
I can hear the cries of "closeminded traditionalist" and "musical conservative"
 already; but seriously, do other people have any songs which have particularly
 struck them as annoying or such. (And I don't mean Lionheart, people!!!).
P.S. A few days ago, some dude quoted Bruce Dickinson in his sig. Good deal! I
didn't figure those types to be on this list.
