Tough call less #1.... I will do the best I can.

1) Vanden Plas - there is no doubt here. I am a proud silly fanboy. I have to rearrange my top 10 fave songs of all-time everytime they release a CD.

2) Accept - There is no oldschool band I CAN'T burn out on except Accept.

3) Pagan's Mind - It was tough to put them at #3 because there are only two releases that I really love, but those two are so dominate it isn't funny.

4) Urban Breed - If any of you fuckers tell him I put him this high on the list... I will absolutely deny it to the end, then kick your ass !! I honestly think Urban has the best voice in metal right now though.
Tad Morose took over where Howe era Metal Church left off. Urban needs to continue that.

5) Metal Church - Two awesome line-ups. It can't get much better....
