I've been listening to a lot of EVERGREY lately, NOCTURNAL RITES and KAMELOT are always in my tray and I just picked up HIGHLAND GLORY "Endeavor Forever". I've also recently gotten a hold of several SAGA albums - amazing that 20 years ago they were doing very similar stuff to what my band, HEDDA, is doing now - though we are quite a bit heavier, the progressions they employed were awesome.
