Somehow, I'm not so convinced that I'll be able to go boarding this weekend. Sad to think of it, but it may be true. But to celebrate for a wonderful season, amid the aches and pains (still), I've dedicated this fantastic album to this season. Well I'm sure others have their own music they want to remember this season by, and I struggled between this and some Beatles tracks, but ultimately, Europe was for me. How can you NOT love those mullets?

This album rocks (pun intended)! Their come back stuff in that 2004 album is no where near as good as this stuff from 1986. The first song I ever had the pleasure of experiencing was The Final Countdown (track 1). I believe it was one of the songs in Neon Genesis Evangelion which I watched straight through in one weekend during my freshman year (the material really fried my mind, I read the creator of the series was suicidal and cured himself by writing the story, but that's a post for another day). Anyway, after hearing the song, I found a compatible midi for my phone at the time. Since then, it's been my default ring tone for three generations of phones. Soon to be on my fourth phone...

What is your nomination for the song of the season? Do tell...
