2. Jimmy Lingon And His Blueberries - Jimmy Lingon And His Blueberries

Haha, what is that??? Guess I should check out this band cause I'm very much into Scandinavian berries - blueberries with tequila, vodka, brown sugar, some hot water and I don't remember what else was in the drink is very tasty and funny lingon berries are good as well

Ermmmhh, and my fave albums, well most of them are already mentioned in this thread... Nevermore, Arcturus, The Mars Volta, Opeth... gotta think about that, something is probably still missing in my list...

 

[Jinn]

I am poor and thus purchased very few albums.
PT's new album rules though.
