Top 5 albums: A get to know you thread.

Interesting. I would've thought king diamond would be first for you. I also didn't know you were that much of a qr fan.


Oh yeah ... Queensryche in their prime is my favorite band of all-time .. not even close. The problem is they have now relesed so much garbage I would call King Diamond my favorite.

I met the majority of my closest Prog Power friends via the rec.music.artists.queensryche usenet board. I used to post on their regularly back in the day. Several of us of our now regular prog power attendes.
