Lots of heavy stuff there, Red.

I'm surprised by your inclusion of Gentle Giant. Three friends is a fantastic song, one of the best ever, but I find the rest of their work is painful to listen to.

Just so everyone knows how cool I am.

Some may notice I didn't include Metallica on there, and it's pretty much because James Hetfield is an asshole who doesn't give a shit about animals.

It's unfortunate because they made two of my favorite albums (Ride the Lightning and And Justice for All), but I can't support them in any capacity given their disdain for the animal rights movement.

Although Dave Mustaine has weird opinions, he's had three vegan/vegetarians perform in his band (Megadeth, which is thought of as being the rival to Metallica) and one of their songs, Countdown to Extinction, has received an award for addressing animal rights issues (namely canned hunts).

Funnily enough @thebestofenergy's wife introduced me to them. I didn't like them at first but I got used to it.
I've been getting more into classic prog, another friend of mine reccomended this album to me which I've been enjoying:

I hope @Dream Sphere returns to the forum, I'd love to see his list.
