Jorn - The dude's a vocal soul-surgeon. Absolute genius with everything he touches. |
 |

|
Dark Moor - Elisa was great, but the albums with Alfred Romero are so classy and other-worldly. It doesn't get much better than this. |
 |

Obituary - I come back to these rancid rednecks often to revel in their excellent grooves, slick solos, and the ever-monolithic vocals of the inimitable John Tardy. |
|

|
Ramones - For a metal enthusiast, it might seem strange that they tend to reign above the Misfits as my punk band of choice; but they do. I even dig the later stuff. |
