Favourite bands?

[kyx]

I'm curious... Except Threshold (if we are here it's obvious that we love their music), which are your favourite bands? Here's mine:
- Iron Maiden
- Ayreon/Star One
- Helloween/Gamma Ray
- Judas Priest
- Nightwish
- Rhapsody
- Savatage
- Shadow Gallery
- Therion
Except Iron Maiden (they have a special place in my heart), the others are sorted alphabetically... and maybe I forgot someone...
(Forgive me if a similar thread was already posted, but I have not seen it... )

My favorite bands always change and at the moment those spring to mind

Ark
Ayreon
Conception
Enchant
Ice Age
Nevermore
Poverty's No Crime
Rush
Sylvan

and of course many more. I used to like Dream Theater a lot but somehow it faded away and they are just not doing it for me any more. I was almost bored at their last concert which went for 3 hours. Too much show-off how good they are and no songs that really are touching me deep inside.

 

[kyx]

Wow... Someone else who likes Poverty's No Crime and Conception... I thought I was the only one...

That makes us Two in a Million then!
