How can you have Rob Thomas and not Porcupine Tree? INSANE!!!!!

 

[JonUrban]

Rob Thomas should not even be compared with BIA and the Brick, let alone PT.

So I take it the Rob Thomas disc won't be getting many web votes then. Can't say I've heard that one.

Well without PT there it makes it easy. Has to be the sheer combined force of the content of "The Brick".

'IF' you can play it.

Voted.
Thanks for the link.

The Brick wins hand down....quite an achievment this late in the DVDA game (just when you think dvda's are dead).

My second vote would go to the Dire Straits SACD.

My order of preference as well.

Count yourself lucky.

Hey, now! I find at least *some* redeeming qualities of the Rob Thomas disc. Well... OK to nominate it for a surround award is certainly a joke, though.

I voted for Brick, FWIW.

I have the DualDisc and like it really well but I don't yet have Brothers in Arms, although it is on the way to me. I can't say Rob Thomas "...something to be" is worthy of mention as one of the best surround discs of 2005 but it is one of my favorites so far.
