I was curious the other day as to what my top 10 of the past decade would look like. After a little thought I came up with these. I'm sure I probably missed one or two that are very deserving, but this is close at least.

#1 Conception - Flow (1997)
#2 Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy (1997)
#3 Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy (2000)
#4 Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle Earth (1998)
#5 Opeth - Still Life (1999)
#6 Nevermore - Dreaming Neon Black (2000)
#7 Evergrey - In Search Of Truth (2001)
#8 Symphony X - The Odyssey (2002)
#9 Mercenary - 11 Dreams (2004)
#10 Bruce Dickinson - Accident Of Birth (1997)

Bah, damn. I guess I'll have to default to Nightfall, it's a close second along with Imaginations in my book.
