Call me crazy, but I like the thrill of a challenge, and WSHWW seemed like a good place to start as a newbie. Turned out to be more intimidating than I thought, but hey...go big or go home!
REVIEW : Ed Kowalczyk - Alive
I remember being in high school and rocking out to Live's albums Throwing Copper and the Secret Samahdi. Still great albums today. Some of the songs were just so infectious that getting them stuck in your head on a near daily basis was simply inevitable. If you're familiar with the band I'm sure you can relate.
