Thanks for coming up with so many interesting topics of discussion, JayKeeley.

Geoff Tate - "Promised Land" (dark, brooding, hopeless, depressing, angry... the few times he lets loose in primal scream send shivers down my spine)
Rob Halford - "Diamonds and Rust"
Bruce Dickinson - "Jerusalem"
David Coverdale - "Is This Love"
Ronnie James Dio - "Wonderworld" (brilliant song from Elf)
Ozzy Osbourne - "She's Gone"
King Diamond - "It's Time For Tea"
