Within Temptation - Black Symphony
Primal Fear - 16.6 Live Around the World
Grave Digger - The Clans Are Still Marching
Magnum - Livin' the Dream
Dio - Holy Diver Live
Judas Priest - Epitaph
Judas Priest - Rising From the East
Gamma Ray - Hell Yeah!
Trouble - Live in Stockholm
Angra - Rebirth World Tour
As far as CDs go:
Heavatar - Opus I
Hollow Haze - Countdown to Revenge
Magnus Karlsson's Freefall
Saxon - Sacrifice (2CD)
Avantasia - The Great Mystery (2CD edition)
Vicious Rumors - Electric Punishment
Wolfchant - Embraced By Fire (2CD)

I like this, not only put together a concise list, but you tell us WHY you want each title.

Forgot about Mekong Delta. Pretty much any Mekong Delta except for the two I have of course (the last three).
Those Realm discs are AWESOME!!! If there was one band I'd love to see reunite it's them.
I'll take you guys one at a time:
Jason: Yes, those Savatage reissues are the digipacks. I never actually owned any Savatage albums other than "Poets And Madmen" until last year (oddly enough, after Ghost In The Ruins folded!). I figured I should pick up all of the most recent reissues if I were to collect their discography. There are different bonus tracks on these reissues from the ones that SPV released about ten years ago.
Exploding Ned: Thank you! I tend to be overly thorough in everything I do. That's OCD for you! I love looking at the selection at your booth every year, and I always make sure to purchase some stuff from you. That said, what happened to your website? It was nice to get an idea as to what you carried before seeing your selection at the fest in years past.
Simon: I love Mekong Delta! I really got into them when they reformed around 2007, and I've been on the search for all of their old albums ever since. Their stuff is really hard to find, despite the fact that it was all reissued about six years ago. I actually need more than that one album, but that's the one that seems to be in circulation the most lately. I was a little confused by what you mentioned about having two albums by them. Do you have two of the last three albums, or do you in fact have all three of the latest releases? As for Realm, I'm really digging them as well, and I've been hoping to see those reissues at ProgPower only to be disappointed. When it comes to thrash metal, this is the kind of stuff I like. Just because it's thrash doesn't mean it has to have whorrid vocals.
Stay metal.

I think there is a digpak reissue of Sirens / Dungeons.
I have the Metal Blade silver version of Sirens, and the first remaster of Dungeons. Those have bonus tracks too.
There is a lot of rare Savatage material out there.
The most interesting is the original version of the STREETS album.
So many different lyrics on it.

If any vendors have some Pain of Salvation shirts, I would be down for those.
Edit. I already have the Road Salt 2 cover shirt they did as a preorder bonus.

The last three. I really love what I've heard by them too, though I have to say I wasn't too thrilled with their most recent release.
Simon,
If by the latest release you mean "Intersections," then I'm kind of surprised. That disc is comprised of re-recorded songs from their first six albums. The first half of the album in particular contains songs from their first three albums, which in my opinion are the toughest to swallow due to the band's original vocalist. Though I enjoy those early albums, hearing these songs with the current lineup made them really come alive for me. If you weren't too impressed with the re-recorded versions, however, I would recommend staying away from those first three albums. I feel that the band matured quite a bit on albums #4-6, especially since they had a much better vocalist at the time. Thus, if you dig the material on the second half of "Intersections," I would highly recommend checking out the respective original sources of those songs. If it turns out that the second half of the album did nothing for you, then you should probably avoid everything that the band did before their initial breakup.
Stay metal. Never rust.

Interesting. I had no clue that's what it was. I think for me it was more of a flow thing with that album as there wasn't much cohesion with the songs. Since it is rerecorded stuff, that makes a lot more sense. Now with that in mind, I'll probably take another listen to see. I still might look into their older stuff though.

I didn't make any lists this year. Last year I bought 78 cd's and 10 shirts, three of which I lost on the 1st day.
This year my goal is to control my spending to under 30 cd's and maybe 3 shirts. You know how that usually works out

I can't wait for this album, but this will not even be released in time for the fest.
