[jem777az]

In no particular order:

Ihsahn

These are bands that will never ever tour the US regularly if at all.

 

[Midihell]

Freak Kitchen
Diablo Swing Orchestra
Pain Of Salvation
Sanctuary
Conception

 

[YANDTROCKS]

Freak Kitchen
PC69

Virgin Steele

 

[Palabra de Dios]

While Heaven Wept
Amorphis
Ihsahn
Therion (twice)
Orphaned Land (twice)
Freak Kitchen (twice)

Edit: I had to put in Amorphis. They played one of, if not the BEST sets ever on the PPUSA stage. I don't know if I'll ever see them again (here or otherwise...I certainly hope so), but I remember being overwhelmed with how good they were when they headlined. How could I have forgotten?!

So many other great sets, but these are tops.

Honorable mention goes to bands who I will likely never see again unless they (unlikely) return to PPUSA: Iron Savior, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Mercenary, Enchant, Mustasch, Nocturnal Rites, Raintime, Pagan's Mind, Haken.

 

[sccaldwell]

1 - Conception (How can anyone list anything else as #1????)
2 - Pain of Salvation
3 - Ark
4 - Stride
5 - Seventh Wonder

Mine were *mostly* chosen from a "they're no longer around" or "probably would have never had the opportunity to see them otherwise" perspective.

Honorable Mentions: Power of Omens, Redemption, Circus Maximus, Zero Hour, Vanden Plas, Superior, Haken, Enchant (who didn't make the Top 5 *only* because I got to see them at BARfest (twice) before PPUSA).

EDIT: Can't believe I forgot Haken and Enchant on this list...
