We all love music, but I know that a few of us loves movies as well. So picture your favorite band only LIVE and playing your favorite songs for like an hour and more.
I guess it's not a secret.

I do collect live DVDs simply because they sound and feel better than watching on YouTube or downloading from Torrent. Some are OK, but there are also these timeless DVDs which we watch year after year. Simply because it's GREAT! So these are my DVDs that I can see year after year thanks to splendid performance, sound and of course the magic that only live concerts can performe.

1. Evergrey - A Night To Remember

2. Dream Theater - Score

3. Kamelot - One Cold Winter's Night

4. Metallica - Orgullo, Pasión Y Gloria - Tres Noches En La Ciudad De México

5. Emperor - Live Inferno

Yes, this is metal-related. Besides, there are bands that sing about this exact topic, like Austrian Death Machine and Goretorture. And Conan the Barbarian has been a heavy influence on metal, especially doom metal.

4. Iron Maiden - Brave New World

Call me easily impressed or what, but 2009 has been an amazing year for metal releases for me. Being well into 2010, I had the chance to let everything sink in and the more memorable albums stand out more while certain release that had initially escaped attention could also be "auditioned". Having listened to over 230 releases, just narrowing down a list of top 30 has already been a challenge, but for an annual list to go over 20 kind of loses its purpose of recommendation, so I just tried even harder. At the same time, I allowed myself to cheat a little bit by using another list of overlooked albums and influential albums. Some that didn't quite make the cut: Bloodbound, Artillery, Delain, Fairyland, Dark Moor, Vomitory, Immortal, Paradise Lost, Amesoeurs, Skyfire, The 11th Hour, Process Of Guilt and Anaal Nathrakh

1. Thy Catafalque - Róka Hasa Rádió

2. Amorphis - Skyforger

3. Samael - Above

4. Sun Of The Blind - Skullreader

5. While Heaven Wept - Vast Oceans Lachrymose
