You don´t look like a great fan if you don´t know Babylon is in Episode, anyway, there are a lot of amaing chorus, powerfuls like No Turning Back, melancolics like Before the Winter but I think the most Orgasmic is the Father Time chorus.

I Walk To My Own Song, No Turning Back, Against The Wind, Forever Free.. and lots more. IMO almost every single stratosong has a great, great chorus.

A Million Light Years Away will always hold a special place in my heart, because it was the first Strato song I ever heard...

My favorite chorus, best stratosong (and also first strato-song I ever heard) is "Against the wind"!!!! Also the lyrics are soooo encouraging!!

You're joking, right? :shake:

Dreamspce is one of the best StratoAlbums, IMO. And, it is Tolkki at his best--he has a great, expressive voice&I like his singing very much. All of the songs on Dreamspace are very good.

But, its a free world&you have a right to your opinion. *sigh*

yes milady, thats MY opinion...kotipelto have a better voice to sing the strato stuff, even the tolkki stuff, in MY opinion :) i think the best strato stuff is on kotipelto albuns and i think tolkki should take only the guitars and some backing vocals (another PERSONAL opinion) and what about you milady? 8)

Frankly, I was hoping that if Koti does not return to Strato, TT would take the reign as Frontman again! I love to hear him sing! :luv3: LOTS of fans would like that! But, as of now, I guess his health is not up to that, unfortunately. :(

Tolkki singing is not due to his health, but his own will to sing again.
And I very much doubt he'll ever again be the lead vocalist for Stratovarius. He is already playing guitar and writing the songs and he has said that he just isn't up for both singing and playing guitar at the same time.
I'm going nowhere. All the way to nowhere.

I wonder if he would be able to sing all those songs sung by TK (sometimws really high), so I think some pre-arrangements should be done. Or live tracklist would be based on first three albums, which could be quite interesting.
But let's do not consider this now, when something is happening, and don't put a jinx on it.
Return to the most succesful line-up (TT, TK, JK, JJ & JM) is the best solution, the best what they can do now.
So where does the power come from to see the race to its end?

And at least in Finland(on an interview), Tolkki said that the lineup you mentioned is the only possible STRATOVARIUS line-up.

i think....if you do many things ate same time, you ´ll not do all the things 100% right.....strato has grown up since 1989 because each one of them specialize themselves in just one function...same case at various bands by this times...but tolkki ROCKS anyway 8)

On the drums it's insane. Once I tried singing and playing the drums on Find Your Own Voice at the same time, it was real fun to watch it (but not to hear) :D
