Rock Survey - Silent Lucidity (Queensryche)

Artist: Queensryche
Song:  Silent Lucidity


Video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LniY0pDQGaE

Quick Thoughts:  Queensryche is one of three flagship "Progressive Rock" bands.  As a sub-genre of metal, Progressive rock blended heavy metal and progressive rock music, taking the loud "aggression", amplified electric guitar-driven sound of the former, with the more experimental, complex and "pseudo-classical" compositions of the latter.  A pretty awesome rock ballad with a nice orchestral background, that sorta makes me think of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" during some of its swaying vocals.

Ranking from Original "Top 1000" List:  970
Added to my Personal List?  YES
Total Songs Added to Final List19

Having grown up listening to mostly hip-hop, R&B, some alternative, and all sorts of music in Spanish, I decided it was time to give myself a personal survey of Rock music.  My friend BJ Swanner compiled a "Top 1000 Rock Song List", aggregated from several "Top Lists".  As I go through all 1,000 songs, I'll be creating my own list, sharing a brief post like this for all the songs that will make my final list.   I will not be ranking the songs that make it to my final list.....for now.
