Count me in. Used to listen to KD hours a day as a teen. My favs have already been posted. Specially have a thing for The Eye.

King Diamond is awesome, better than Mercyful Fate.

Conspiracy, The Eye and The Spider's Lullaby are my favorite albums.
The latest albums are great, some of the songs are epic but production is not as good as it should be.

I've seen King Diamond 2 or 3 times on stage and it is one of the most enjoying shows you can see!

Apparently King Diamond himself wrote most of the songs.


From Wiki:
King Diamond has written all of the lyrics and the bulk of the music for the band with Andy LaRocque being the next biggest contributor. Since the band formed, Diamond has written 81 songs that have appeared on studio albums while LaRocque has written 37

It only makes him a thousand times more badass.
