Il Volo - Essere, o non essere!
Clearlight - Visions
Ashra - Blackouts
Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene

my tastes are very melodic, minimal foreign vocals,

well!!!

The Moody Blues - To Our Childrens, Childrens, Children

You want us to list 20 but you get to list 50? Talk about breaking the rules.

By the way, that Moody Blues album was released in 1969.
