Iced Earth
JOP - I guess I live under a rock as I have never seen the band and am a huge Oliva fan
Pathosray
Iron Savior
Spheric Universe
Mustasch
Amorphis
The rest...

And of course The Hellish Rock Tour...

I also think i will come away a bigger fan of all the others. I just haven't given them much of a listen yet...

I bought my ticket to see these six bands, in order of my interest:

Riverside
Andromeda
Iced Earth
Amorphis
Spheric Universe Experience
Pathosray

The other six I'm not enamored with, but I'll give them a fair hearing.

For me...

[big gap]

Elvenking
Iced Earth
Mustasche (if their other CDs are as good as the one I have)
Riverside

[big gap II]

The rest of Fri
The rest of Sat

Except for Mustasche and IE, I see Friday as vastly superior to Sat. That opinion may be colored by Amorphis/Elvenking fanboy-dom and the loss of Volbeat... but it's a strong feeling. I think I'm going to go crazy Thurs/Fri and then rest up Sat.

Well, to be honest, it was a toss up between ..

oh please, no it wasn't.

Damn right! I also love their whole conceptual theme! One of my all-time favorite bands, any genre!

nailz · May 17th, 2008, 04:47 PM

Yah, I think having a story arc spreading over what.. 8 albums now? .. is amazing.

PurpleCrayonWriter · May 17th, 2008, 08:31 PM

I can't wait to see them all so it's nearly impossible to rank them.

Plus, my top five keeps changing. Right now, it's:

1. Mustasch (their CDs have become my favorites!)
2. Amorphis
3. Iced Earth
4. Elvenking
5. Iron Savior

When I do interviews, I totally immerse in the music, listening to nothing but each band's CDs (usually their entire catalog) for a couple of weeks at a time, one after another from the first to the most recent.

The band that has surprised me the most -- partly because it came out of left field -- is Mustasch. Their riffs (especially on Rat Safari) are ungodly cool. I'll be listening to Mustasch long after ProgPower USA IX is a dim, distant, and fond memory.

All other bands on the roster are equally good to me. So the rest of the line-up would be:
