Because I'd sooner spend an hour-and-a-half with Pokemon than a mindless action movie. I know you know what I'm talkin' about. ...No, not that. Honestly - some people...

Here they are, in order of year, and order of personal preference within each year. My utterly favourite songs from pre-1980 classics, rendered in my never-really-humble opinion, as everything should be.

Yes, that last bit may have been a touch of sarcasm. But this isn't. With few exceptions, every song on each album that made the list rocks - that's why I've rated them 9 or 10 - but these are my absolute favourites:

1.Deep Purple - Shades Of Deep Purple

2.Neil Young - Neil Young

3.Jethro Tull - This Was

4.Cream - Wheels of Fire

5.The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Electric Ladyland

I wanted to create my personal Top List for a long time and to be honest, I always considered it as some kind of cool Prog Metal, Avantgarde Metal mix. As you can see, it has become a bit more complicated. So finally, there are Unexpect and Pain Of Salvation next to Bands like Kamelot and Savatage. Also, some Non-Metal Bands got involved like Jeff Buckley and Oingo Boingo. But could you imagine how PoS would sound without Jeffs influence? Or what would have become of Mr. Bungle if it weren't for Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo?!

1.Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element, Part I

2.Kalisia - Cybion

3.Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera

4.Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery

5.Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors

1.King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

2.Genesis - Nursery Cryme

3.Jethro Tull - Aqualung

4.Yes - Fragile

5.Pink Floyd - Darkside of The Moon

3.Megadeth - Rust In Peace
