45. Revolution Saints - st

I liked this a lot too. It got forgotten as more stuff came out, but Deen proved to be a heck of a singer. The cameo by Journey's singer was totally unnecessary.

42. Scorpions - Return To Forever
I remember loving Humanity: Hour 1 from 7-8 years ago

"Humanity: Hour 1" is amazing. Sure, it was put together by Desmond Child and his cohorts, but it's all the better for it.

35. House Of Lords - Indestructible

I think James' voice is starting to show its age, but the songwriting is excellent. I missed the last couple records, so this caught me off-guard. Really, really close to making my list.

21. Serious Black - As Daylight Breaks

I liked it when it came out, but then I didn't listen to it for months. I love Urban, but this was nowhere near as good as Trail Of Murder, which he's sadly now out of. Boo!

15. Orden Ogan - Ravenhead

My favorite power metal band, definitely. This is another really good album, but it still pales compared to the mighty "Easton Hope". I'm usually not big on concept records, but that is still their most epic, awesome bunch of songs.

13. Jorn Lande & Trond Holter - Dracula: Swing Of Death

My #1 by a mile. I love this album so much. It's ridiculous, and ridiculously fun. Best thing Jorn has ever done.

07. Ghost - Meliora

I totally agree, including about "Mummy Dust". But the good is so good the album rules.

03. Powerwolf - Blessed and Possessed

Who would ever want them to do anything different? They're Powerwolf, and as long as they write songs like "We Are The Wild", that's all they need to be.

01. Eclipse - Armageddonize

I obviously don't care for it as much as you do, but I was impressed by Mr. Martensson. Much more so by his upcoming Nordic Union project. It's so damn catchy!
