I'm with you on this one too! But the embarrassing part for me ... this is how Nick got me into Metal when we first started dating over 5 years ago. I was a lot more into Classic Rock, so he started to build off of that with some glam and classic metal bands. He and I still laugh at the fact that the first time he played Iron Maiden for me I told him they were "a little too epic"

*hides for fear of beatings* and now they are one the bands in my "Holy Trinity of Metal" (The others being Doro - obviously - and Dio.)

I have actually hear the exact opposite from several people. Most have said it's not nearly as nice as MD's.

These are actually a lot of the reasons Nick and I were so displeased with MD's Renn Fest when we came back from MN. (I took out the ones that weren't really an issue for us.) However, I will admit that I think we went on a bad day, because I went again this past weekend and things were considerably better ... still not as good as MN's Fest, but better than the first time we visited the MD fest this year.
BTW, in order of size, the top three US Renn Fests are 1) Texas, 2) Minnesota, 3) Maryland.

I forgot the biggest one of all. Ace of Base. While in college, a friend and I would blast their music at 2 am when stuck in the lab getting a project done (this was like 3 years ago, not 10)

Fantastic - though the only Ace of Base song I know is Signs

Are we not men? We are DEVO...love this band.

Yardley, all I can say is....the guy could sing a country love song. The Christmas specials were definitely not worth it, though.

by now over half my CD collection (about 1100 CDs) is not metal... So, If I listed all the non-metal stuff I listen to this thread would be huge!

And to be honest, the genre I am most ashamed of liking is power metal, hands down...

I am open about liking Coldplay, but my love for Stratovarius not many people know about...
