Having just listened to Ayreon's outstanding debut album for the first time, I'm adding my vote to The Final Experiment - the clear winner in this poll. Thumbs Up

From Shredded Wheat and Shreddies, it's back to some guitar-shredding and the heavy Metal Opera of Avantasia. Smile

Then are you sure that Apocalyptica just don't get three Shreddies for breakfast?

^ Yes, there was a well-known advertising campaign in England where the tagline was, "I bet you can't eat three Shredded Wheat." Smile

Wake up and smell the coffee to the sound of the Symphonic Power Metal band Amberian Dawn. Are they Finnish? No, they've only just got started as this is their first album. Tongue

My own approach is very different, as all the albums, I've so far listed in all "my" threads/and one poll (Smile), have been from my collection, and thus some I know very well - but you're still very glad of listening to new-to-you music while I have a period when I almost only listen to my collection. 
 
I currently only have four CD albums in the poll:- by Evanescence, Leaves' Eyes, Nightwish & Within Temptation, although all of the albums are within temptation (so to speak) if the price is right. Smile

That's 2 albums listened to so far in the poll - only another 23 to go. Smile

I'm certainly not fond of growling, either, even I own one album with Isis where I can accept it.

Otherwise, Paul, you make me curious about how you've picked all these albums. Ermm

I guess, it's good to distinguish between PA and other places, but I'd at least say that  Here Lies One Whose Name Was Written in Water is a good album to bring for the PA audience. Big smile
