: 'Til Tuesday).                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Just wanted to point out that anyone that would characterize Lone Justice 
as "pop metal" has clearly *never* listened to either one of their albums.  
The first album (self titled) is a breathtaking mixture of country, rock, 
R&B, gospel, and honky tonk, while the second album ("Shelter") is a 
more rock-oriented (but quite definitely not "pop metal") album, with some 
gorgeous ballads.  To even mention this brilliant (not to mention 
*years* ahead of their time -- if these albums came out in the last 
couple of years I'm certain they would have been smashes) and terribly 
underappreciated band in the same sentence as Heart hasn't done their 
homework.

Otherwise, I'd say you're on the mark.
