In a rough order:
01.Evergrey
02.Fates Warning
03.Dio (Still have hope that I will get a chance)
04.Riot
05.LORD
06.Redemption
07.Royal Hunt
08.Angra
09.Circus Maximus
10.Journey
Also nods to Whitesnake, Pink Cream 69, and Vanishing Point.
Nocturnal Rites would actually top this list but... I'm finally fucking seeing them in September!!!
And for the record, the bands that would be in this category if not for my disclaimer:
Savatage, Avantasia, Bruce Dickinson, and Dungeon.
