Govan Guthrie - Erotic Cakes, Micheal Schenker Group (alot of different), Vinnie Moore - various, Crimson Glory- various, Enchant - alot of different albums, mostly BoE & Blueprint, Daughtry (yeah I know, its a killer album though),Symphony X - TDWoT, Zero Hour, Masterplan,Timeline, Eyefear, and alot more. Mixing it up a little...

I can't seem to stop listening to:

Saxon - The Inner Sanctum Promo (kicks serious ass)
Halford - Crucible (the 2006 remixed and remastered version is absolutely crushing!)
Machine Men - Circus Of Fools Promo (my favorite from MM)
Kayser - Kaiserhof (I haven't stopped listening to this disc since I bought it in 2005)
Lefay - Symphony Of The Damned (1999 version)

You'll like the new Saxon, Bear. The new Redemption and Thought Chamber Promos are excellent, as well.

Mostly the Enchant collection right now! Also digging the new Redemption promo, haven't checked out Thought Chamber since I *just* got that. I can't wait - HUGE fan of Ted's vox! ALso run through the Eyefear (AWESOME) a few times and some Mob Rules. I'm really excited about the entire lineup! I don't think I've EVER said that about any festival. Before all this started, I was really digging Wolverine, enjoying Firewind and Communic, and still have to check out the new PoS some more. Too much music, not enough time!

Other than that, I've been mostly listening to the new Odin's Court material, learning it, and recording it! Honestly, I'm REALLY excited about our new stuff! Definitely our most adventureous material to date - but still melodic and song-oriented. I think people will really like what they hear too! And anybody that really knows me, knows I mean that and not just being a spin doctor.

Thanks! I try to keep a mix of great new music and classic greats that inspired me in the first place, several of which are in my all time top as well. I saw your top 10 list on your myspace site, and being a guitar player as well, we definitely share some similar tastes. You have a few things in there that are on my top list that aren't in my player currently, such as the additional Rush, Queensryche, Symphony X, Evergrey, Dream Theater titles for example. I find it hard to keep it to ten though. So, while I'm at it, I'll throw in some more classics like Dio era Black Sabbath, early Iron Maiden, early Yngwie Malmsteen, classic Yes, Garbiel era Genesis, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Queen and a couple of other newer artist favorites like Pagan's Mind (Enigmatic Calling has been in my player since it came out, I forgot to mention it in the original post) and all of Arjen Lucassen's Ayreon stuff in there as well. And that doesn't include other off topic genres like Classical and Electronic, so I best leave it there before this get's too out of hand
