MECCA – Undeniable I am honored that Mecca II was included on RockEyez "Top 10" for 2011. RockEyez shares our commitment to excellence, and to provide fans of our shrinking genre music that is no compromise, full of love and soul...and RockEyez is an example of a site done out of Love for the music... Thank you again...We are honored! Joe Vana MECCA
OUTLOUD - Love Catastrophe "As the year winds down to a close only a few of the best albums from that year will make it onto the coveted Top Ten lists. RockEyez's list is no joke; every year it contains the absolute best-of-the-best titles reviewed by a meticulous and knowledgeable staff well-versed in the hard rock / heavy metal genre. We are more than pleased to have made it on that list for the second time. A big OUTLOUD thanks to Brian and the staff at Rockeyez for their support! We will see everyone in 2012 - Happy Holidays to all!"
EUMERIA - Rebel Mind "I've had a lot of respect for Brian's reviews on Rockeyez over the past years....so Eumeria being in the top ten releases of 2011 means a lot to us!" Bobby EUMERIA
White Widdow "It's an absolute thrill and an honor for White Widdow to be included in RockEyez top 10 releases for 2011, "
Thanks and all the best! Jules.

Comments from Artist:
FERGIE FREDERIKSEN - Happiness Is The Road Wow. Thanks Mark. Totally unexpected and an honor. As far as a quote, the CD title says it all mate. I am blessed in so many ways and it's here and it's now. Maybe someday we will meet. All the best and Thank You Fergie
HOUSE OF LORDS – Big Money I want to thank Mark Balogh/Brian Rademacher and the gang at RockEyez for naming House Of Lords "Big Money" as one of the top 10 releases of 2011. It is an honor to be associated with all of you. Best James
TNT - Farewell To Arms Hi to the world !! In a completely disconnected conversation, the great Brian Rademacher asks me to shout Yo Ho to all the rockers out there for this coming Christmas and New Year. AFTA was a hard return to the 80's for all of us, but we weren't sorry. With a couple of kooks we were up and romancing...It's been a great year for TNT and we want to thank you all for your support and thanks for turning up at so many shows. Rockeyez for President !! Tony Mills
MAGNUM - The Visitation Having "The Visitation" as one of your top 10 is real cool and thanks so much. We are very proud of that album and it pointed in new areas which Magnum can go, but not for a second forgetting the roots of what Magnum has been for many years. I think all the classic elements are in there but beefed up and turned up to 11! Cheers matey. Al Barrow
CHRIS OUSEY - Rhyme & Reason Couldn’t be more pleased to see that Rhyme And Reason” has made it into your Top 10 for 2011. Things like this make all the time and effort of making the record more than worthwhile..
Cheers Guys Chris Ousey _____________________________________________________________________
