[kj] Fight

It's what keeps this list interesting... the range of opinions!  Gotta 
say I love the last 3 albums! Some of the top songs are the ones you 
listed though Neil, I'll give you that, haha! A couple of songs I could 
do without, but overall they are three great albums, and that's 
incredible for a band that've been going so long.

Saw them in Copenhagen last week, which was awesome again. I always 
leave needing to see them again! Three times in recent weeks just isn't 
enough.

But I still haven't heard the original Snakedance! Where did that one 
appear? Can't be arsed with all the multiple versions, so just bought 
the double CD.
