Well, Iced Earth, at least I think, is great, I love their songs. I got to see them at the Iced Earth/In Flames/Jag Panzer show, although Jag Panzer sucked and always will. I also like Schaffer's part in Demons & Wizards, great band.
As for Savatage, you can tell by my name... They're my ALL TIME FAVORITE band, but I hated when Criss Oliva died. But Chris Caffrey does a good job of taking over. My favorite CD is obviously Dead Winter Dead. But I have seven of their CDs.
