After pretty much half the year is done Erik almost has a top 10 list

[Dev]

Tool is a bit disappointing in the long run, while being good.

 

[Dev]

Excellent :
Agalloch
Kayo Dot
Drudkh

Good :
Tool

Pretty ok+ :
Kwoon
Gregor Samsa
Unearthly Trance

So far 2005 > 2006 but 2005 was great (not in June though)

 

[Crimson Velvet]

Agalloch
Sodom
Daylight Dies
SUMMONING
Drudkh
Dismember
Darkthrone

Possibly the new Amorphis, as it sounded pretty damn promising, but I can't say for sure after one listen. I'm fairly certain that I heard a little gay in there too, so...

 

[Nate The Great]

I think Erik's list is pretty damn solid. I'd add a few. More people need to hear that Moonspell.
