As a big fan of your blog (I've discovered countless fantastic albums here), I wanted to give something back in the form of my own old (late '90's, early naughts) band Rocket Park's two albums.
I'd describe the music as "eclectic pop rock with frequent progressive rock leanings (of a melodic/symphonic/compositional nature moreso than virtuosity)". The guitarist wants to be Jimmy Page, the drummer wants to be Keith Moon, and the keyboardist (moi) utilizes an arsenal of vintage keyboard sounds rivalling Rick Wakeman's stage setup circa 1973. The songs, production and harmonies may remind one of Electric Light Orchestra, and Mellotron junkies (of which I am one) are advised that the second album ("Television") features the string and flute sounds we love so.
Pleased listeners interested in owning physical objects and/or rewarding our efforts can buy either album at CDBaby.com, but if you don't, that's fine as well. We're much more interested in having a discerning audience listen to and, hopefully, enjoy our music.
Rocket Park "Teenage Folklore" 1999
Rocket Park "The Effects of Eating Too Much Television" 2000
Yours in the joy of music and the freedom to listen,

Wonderful sentiments, and I for one will be giving your music a listen!
Friend, what GREAT generosity and wonderful sentiments.
You deserve to be heard by a greater audience and I for one will be giving your music a listen with a view to buying all the recordings!!
Very many thanks to you indeed!
Sincerest thanks to Lizardson for slithering this into the hands of the music fans. I would really love to see some comments of the post-listening variety, and please keep it honest! ;)
The cover of teenage folklore is *amazing*
Not sure why the links aren't still posted, but here they are (and by the way, this is Brian Andrew Marek of Rocket Park and I fully consent to these albums' free distribution):

I've heard from a number of people who said they don't have RAR, couldn't run it on their computer, et cetera, so I've changed all my upload links to ZIP archives for everybody's convenience. Enjoy!
