I was thinking we could have a thread dedicated to music here.
Please write down some of your favorite bands/albums here.
I´ll start with some of my own.

Deströyer 666 - Unchain the Wolves (Blackened Death/Thrash Metal)
Infernö - Downtown Hades (Thrash)
Exodus - Bonded by Blood (Thrash)
Deicide - Serpents of the light (Death)
Defleshed - Fast Forward (Death/Thrash)

I´ve got many more but those are my favorites right now

Hmm, a fellow metal fan. I didn't know there were so many around here :D no point in putting metal on the end of all my albums, i'll just put the style.

Dimmu Borgir - Spiritual Black Dimentions (Black)
Summoning - Stronghold (black)
Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant (black)
Dimmu Borgir - Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia (black)
Dragonforce - Valley of the Damned (power)
Rhapsody - Dawn of Victory (power)
Finntroll - Trollhammaren MCD (folk black)
Finntroll - Midnattens Widunder (folk black)
Manowar - Warriors of the World (heavy/power)
Manowar - Battle Hymns (heavy/power)

Just a few of my current.

Why is it that music lovers seem to revel in obscurity these days? Whenever I meet a real fan, they never list anything I've even vaguely heard of (see above). Don't mind me, I'll bugger off now...

What I listen to greatly changes with my mood. I might sometimes be in the mood to listen to the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, at other times I might listen to much heavier stuff. And then there are some much softer songs I might listen to at times because they bring back good memories. (like Aventura - Obsesion, which I heard a lot while on an awesome holiday in Spain)

At the moment my favourite albums are:

Evergrey: The Inner Circle (progressive dark metal (dark in subject, not music))
Pagan's Mind: Infinity Divine (progressive metal)
Ayreon: The Human Experiment (progressive rock)
Muse: Absolution (rock)

Metallica. Yup, that pretty much covers it. :D
Well, Greenday's up there, and I enjoy Shinedown, too.
