Savatage - Gutter Ballet - Ghost in the Ruins - The Hourglass - Can You Hear Me Now - Midas Knight On Savatage: Difficult to choose single songs from a band whose main body of work seems to consist of concept albums. But I know their discography so well, I managed to choose my personal favourites quite fast. May not be the concensus 'best' songs, but that wasn't the point, now, was it? Judas Priest - Rock Hard Ride Free - Cathedral Spires - Grinder - The Sentinel - Savage On Priest: A huge back catalogue: 30+ years of recording and 16 studio albums. But those are my picks. Iron Maiden - For the Greater Good of God - Hallowed Be Thy Name - Afraid to Shoot Strangers - Childhood's End - Aces High On Maiden: I think I went with a bit too many 'epic' songs I like a lot, instead of just a bit simpler songs that I love. I'm not too happy with that list, but I'm not going to start changing it anymore. Blind Guardian - Imaginations from the Other Side - Time Stands Still - Born in a Mourning Hall - Valhalla - Majesty On Blind Guardian: I haven't listened to any of their albums for something like a year now, so this wasn't all that easy. But basically, "Imaginations" has my favourite songs and I love the album from beginning to end. I rounded up the list with some other faves. I didn't think about it too much. Dio - Holy Diver - Sunset Superman - Fever Dreams - Last in Line - All the Fools Sailed Away By this time, making the list is getting a bit boring already. I didn't know it would get this difficult. Of all five artists, Dio was the hardest to choose five songs from. Again, a big back catalogue, and lots of awesome single songs. I didn't feel right leaving out some of my all-time favourite songs, like Egypt or Rainbow in the Dark, but I feel better now after I mentioned them here.

I don't play music off my computer though. I have an mp3 player for travel and use a computer to rip albums for the player, but for home listening I have a separate sound system where I play my CD's. The player does recognise discs but doesn't count how many times you listen to everything. I am a heavy consumer, but I guess the only way to count anything is by hand.

But it only works with an ipod, that's lame. No use for me.
-
Pink Cream 69, check out their album Sonic Dynamite. Also, Axxis. Back to the Kingdom is full of awesome catchy tunes.
-
Excellent band, one of my favourites. And along with Slayer and Annihilator, the best thrash metal band ever. I'm more into the Skolnick era of Testament, so I especially like the first five albums. And of course the new one.

Since you like Van Halen, try Quiet Riot.
-
Never heard. They look like they have lots of angst.
-
Quiet Riot. For a brief moment they were the most awesome metal band in the world. "Metal Health" is still a classic album.
-
Savatage performing the Chance live, which is quite a feat in itself with all the counterpoint vocals and all.
-
I was just listening to A Tyranny of Souls this morning. Good shit.
-
Never heard. Isn't Leon a town in Spain or something?
-
I didn't know it was a competition on who can name more bands. I say you only need to get into one band and that's SAVATAGE.
-
From whole albums, I only ever heard Smash. It's catchy and fun. And from what I've heard on the radio / videos on telly, Offspring are fun. Again, not my type of music, but I'd easily pick them over the Deftones and Muse. By far the best of the MTV-type pop-punk bands.
-
Playing full CD's. Right now it's Savatage's Hall of the Mountain King. Currently playing 'Legions'.

Don't know much about this band, aside from a random video or two I've seen on telly I didn't especially like. They came out around the time nu-metal was getting big, so I was instantly turned off by them. Anyway, I think I'm neutral, slightly leaning on the negative side. Never really cared about this kind of music. EDIT: WTF. I was talking about the Deftones. I didn't know you're going to post another band right up. Muse, I don't mind at all. I had this one album from a friend of mine who likes them. It was quite good. Could possibly listen to them a bit more. But, honestly, it's not really my type of music, so in the end I wouldn't buy an album. I wouldn't want to listen to Muse THAT much to justify it - I don't know if an album of theirs could stand re-listens. At least not on my stereos. There's too much awesome stuff I keep lining up for my player, and never have enough time to play all.

Suggest ear phones, then go search for porn on the entire rest of the internet. I don't know much about earphones, but you need to lighten up.

Pics if she's hot.

Okay, maybe with the Savatage one I was going too much in the direction of 'epic' and not towards 'distinguishable riff'. (crap quality live footage, but there's no promo video for the song) But here's a good one - by Mustasch

"Morphine Child" by Savatage

I don't have a wishlist. I just get what I want if I feel the urge to get it. There's a bunch of record stores nearby, and if I can't find what I want there, I can always order online. A few years ago when I was still in college I did make wishlists, but that was because I was always broke. When I did happen to get money I immediately got a CD or two before I spent it all on booze. Or food. Or books, can you imagine.

Upbeat power metal should do the trick. Try: "Future World" by Helloween "Young Souls" by Axxis "Hunting High and Low" by Stratovarius "Wanderlust" by Nightwish

Classic, melodic, speed, thrash, power, glam, progressive, 70's hard rock and a bit of extreme when in the mood.
