Coming up with ten might turn out quite hard, but let's try.

1. In Flames - Only for the weak (the others aren't in any specific order, but this one is easily the best ever )
2. The Haunted - 99 (aggressive and catchy as hell)
3. Scar Symmetry - Ghost prototype I (just recently fell in love with this one)
4. Kansas - Carry on wayward son (yeah yeah yeah, I know, but it DOES kick ass)
5. Blue Öyster Cult - Don't fear the reaper (yeah yeah yeah again)
6. Machine Head - Halo (fucking beautiful vocal work there)
7. Steve Earle - Someday (ok, seems like I'm having quite a lot of these utter wankness -songs on my list)
8. Devin Townsend - Nobody's here (just plain massive)
9. Trivium - Like light to flies (bashing welcome, I'm not proud of this one)
10. Death - Crystal mountain (actually, the chorus itself isn't that cool, but the song is one of my all-time favourites)

[STINNETT]

Behold...the Arctopus - "You Will Be Reincarnated as an Imperial Attack Spaceturtle"

 

[Metaltastic]

I definitely support Scar Symmetry and In Flames being up there, but my nominations for those two are "Morphogenesis" and "Ordinary Story," respectively. There's still something just a bit too poppy about "Only for the Weak for me," and Kyle, you mentioned "Timewave Zero," I honestly really don't like the chromaticisms in that chorus, and honestly my biggest problem with "Holographic Universe" as an album in general is that IMO almost all the songs have awesome songs but surprisingly (and jarringly) uninspiring choruses, with the exception of "Morphogenesis," "Ghost Prototype I," (good call Jhakwe) and the title track.

Also, HUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEE +1 to "Separate Ways" by Journey, god's own gift to music. And otherwise, hmm...

Sonata Arctica - The Cage
Sonata Arctica - Fullmoon
Sonata Arctica - DON'T SAY A WORD (HOLY SHIT SOOOO GOOD)
Sonata Arctica - Wolf & Raven
Sonata Arctica - The End of this Chapter
Sonata Arctica - My Land

Yeah, I love Sonata, one of my favorite bands of all time

As for Nevermore, BIG +1 to "Born," good call Felix Really don't like "Heart Collector" though, it feels too "forced," in it's attempt to be catchy.

Soilwork - As we Speak (come on now, there's just no contest)
Behemoth - BE WITHOUT FEAR (FEEL MY FLAME, LEVIATHAN! RAPE THESE WOUNDS, ASMODEUS!! God, the way Nergal roars, it's SO FUCKING EVIL ARRRGGGHHHH!!! )
Behemoth - Slaves Shall Serve (specifically the last 30 seconds, SLAVES...SHALL...FUCK-ING SERVE!!!!)
Dimmu - The Serpentine Offerring

More to come, no doubt!

 

[Metaltastic]

Oh yeah, and of course - "DEMON!!!! DEMON OF THE FALL!!"

 

[STINNETT]

I like the chorus from "Sons of Northern Darkness" by Immortal.

The whole "Anger rideth....." thing. Bitchin.

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah baby - FLY THROUGHOUT THE SKY, SET FIRE TO THE LAND!! That's also one of my all time favorite albums, so many grooves (especially the 6/8 ones on "Within the Dark Mind" & "Antarctica")
