Talk:Hybrid Ice (album)

Trying to edit this entry to correct historical accuracy
Accuracy of Hybrid Ice band and album entries

I have been trying to correct the gross historical innacuraccies in these two entries, and Kellymoat keeps reverting the entries. There are three specific claims in these two articles that range from flat-out wrong to being a misrepresentation. 1. The claim that the album Hybrid Ice reached #5. This claim implies the common ranking of the Billboard 200 Albums chart. I researched this on Billboard.com - they have no mention of Hybrid Ice on their charts. I then manually searched the Billboard 200 Albums chart for a period of 1 year starting with the release of the album (per the band's supposed "official" website, HybridIce.net) in December 1982, and did not find Hybrid Ice among any of the weekly top 200 listings. 2. The claim that the song "Magdelene" was a "hit". Searching the Billboard Top 100 singles weekly charts from Dec. 1982 through Dec. 1983, there is no mention of "Magdelene." I have charitably attempted to change the languange referring to the song as "... was a moderate hit in certain markets." 3. The fact that "Magdalene" was "covered" by the band Boston. Hearing the two songs, and reading the album liner notes from Boston's "Walk On" album reveals that Tom Scholz of Boston substantially rewrote the song, both musically and lyrically. I have attempted to reflect this in my edits.

I would appreciate that my research be repected and that historical accuracy be repected. Regards, Rocketman703 (talk) 20:29, 1 April 2017 (UTC) Rocketman703 (talk) 20:29, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
