I wanted to create my personal Top List for a long time and to be honest, I always considered it as some kind of cool Prog Metal, Avantgarde Metal mix. As you can see, it has become a bit more complicated. So finally, there are Unexpect and Pain Of Salvation next to Bands like Kamelot and Savatage. Also, some Non-Metal Bands got involved like Jeff Buckley and Oingo Boingo. But could you imagine how PoS would sound without Jeffs influence? Or what would have become of Mr. Bungle if it weren't for Danny Elfman and Oingo Boingo?! So I hope you have nearly as much fun with this list as I had creating it.

1. Pain Of Salvation - The Perfect Element, Part I

2. Kalisia - Cybion

3. Savatage - Streets: A Rock Opera

4. Dog Fashion Disco - Adultery

5. Polkadot Cadaver - Purgatory Dance Party

This is not a typical "Best of the decade" list. To be more precise, it's a list about the top 20 albums of each year of the last decade, in my perspective of course. In this way, a lot of good albeit overlooked albums can get some exposure, in addition to covering more ground at the same time.

1. 2009

2. Sybreed - The Pulse Of Awakening

3. Ghost Brigade - Isolation Songs

4. Porcupine Tree - The Incident
