L’etichetta Roadrunner Records ha sondato le preferenze personali dei propri artisti per il 2007 e ha pubblicato una ricca lista dei risultati. Quella che era ormai diventata un’abitudine annuale per Mike Portnoy, passato con i Dream Theater proprio quest’anno alla label olandese, si è estesa all’intero roster Roadrunner. Meglio così, personalmente la trovo una pratica molto apprezzabile.

Qui la lista completa:
