in MY OPINION, these are the bands and albums i just cannot stop listening to, the 1st 10 albums are the best ones (based on how many times i listened to the album) after the 1st 10, no specific order. If you have any suggestions let me know, chances are i've never listened to the album. Also I have requirements concerning the lyrics, so if i dont update the list with your suggestion is bc i might not like the music or the lyrics. Long Live Multi-Colored Flower Metal!!!

1.Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Ascending To Infinity

2.Dark Moor - Tarot

3.Luca Turilli - Prophet Of The Last Eclipse
