One of the subgenres I'm most selective with, so I don't have many answers. I basically discovered Stratovarius first, and after a handful of their albums I've almost had my fill of power. I do think it's undervalued here in NZ - I enjoy it more live but I'm lucky if there's 1 local power metal...

Nah, sounds good. Extremely rare case of a fav band where I find most of their older stuff a bit too raw and like the 2nd half of their discography more.

If we don't laugh we win. Maybe he wanted us to feel like winners today.

I'm mostly only into their first two albums for the heavy psych/prog angle, particularly Fly to the Rainbow. Just don't really care for their hard rock thing, although I do love the title track to In Trance.

Better luck this time, hah. My recent YouTube history is mostly movie trailers and music, but here's a funny one:

Mindwarp (1991) - enjoyable post-apocalyptic movie featuring Bruce Campbell and lotsa blood. Quite a bit better than the average B movie I reckon.

Perhaps someone wishes to find out. Then by the year 2037 we could have an In Utero song survivor completed as well.

Greetings! Hope you'll stick around longer than the last wacky guy whose thread I replied to in here. Seems he had a breakdown and deleted it and everything, haha.

There are 5 songs on the album I like more than Negative Creep...

They made it through rounds 1 and 2 because the vast swathes of people who dislike them quit using forums years ago. If you think they suck then it's your last chance to try to remedy this injustice and prevent them from reaching the final! Follow the instructions and vote for your 3 least faves...

Some randoms enjoyed lately: Schizopolis - must be one of the weirdest ever movies from a well-known director other than Lynch, quite delightful The Haunting (1963) - awesome opening, great atmosphere and some funny lines. For the moving into a big creepy old mansion with an even creepier maid...

I looked at the free entry method, and it implies you have to send the form in by post to actually be in the draw. That seems quite incredible in 2025, haha.
