Title says it all really, I made an attempt to pick my favorite album from each of my favorite bands. I did not take into account the number of albums released by each band, and I did not take into account if I've actually only got one album by the band. Difficult to pick just one album by most of these giants! (Bands are listed alphabetically)

1. Angra - Temple Of Shadows

2. Avantasia - The Mystery Of Time

3. Axel Rudi Pell - Mystica

4. Axxis - Utopia

5. Ayreon - 01011001

1. Meshuggah - ObZen

2. Persefone - Spiritual Migration

3. Eye Of The Enemy - Eye Of The Enemy

4. Circus Maximus - Isolate

5. James LaBrie - Static Impulse

I picked one album by each of my favorite bands for this list. Keep in mind that after the first few albums I put on the list, it became increasingly difficult to figure out where to place artists in my list. Also, this is kind of how my favorite bands lie now, as far as how often I listen to them - whereas some of these bands used to be much more frequently played, years ago. But this is, more or less, a list of my favorite albums by my favorite bands.

1. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

2. Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape

3. Symphony X - The Odyssey

4. Circus Maximus - Nine

5. Haken - Visions

Here follows a short list of albums released in 2010, which did not live up to anything spectacular even if SOME of them showed so much promise based on previous releases. Some less disappointing/some more but they all vary in degrees of Anticipation and eventual Gut-wrenching heart ache.

NOTE: The albums with lowest disappointment factor appear last, progressively becoming more bad until you finally reach the most shockingly unfullfilling album of 2010

1. Dark Lunacy - Weaver Of Forgotten

2. Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape

3. Abigail Williams - In The Absence Of Light

4. Finntroll - Nifelvind

5. Arsis - Starve For The Devil

Limited to one album per band and only those featured on Metal Storm.
I feel these albums demonstrate certain qualities that can be of enjoyment to someone who is interested in avantgarde, experimental, extreme, fusion, jazz, post rock, and technical forms of metal.

1. Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick

2. King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

3. Rush - Moving Pictures

4. Opeth - Still Life

5. Dream Theater - Images And Words
