Best soft rock music according to redditors

Stephen Baxter has just written an "official" sequel to it, "The massacre of mankind" which tries to keep to the style of the original.

But the book itself was really well done, the Tom Cruise movie version kinda sucked (and the sequels sucked more), but I really enjoy Jeff Wayne's musical version

I'm currently seriously addicted to my locally owned java spot's strawberry and peach smoothie. It's so yummy, cold and filling. Perfection in a cup.
