Not so easy. Like them all, but my vote goes to Opeth.

Vintersorg - have forgotten them

Evergrey boring? Don't think so, they are quite original.

Evergrey are really good but their first album is my favourite

their albums are getting more commercial as time goes by

POS great indeed

Opeth greatest indeed

I agree, Evergrey bore me to tears. Opeth, Katatonia, Dan Swano, and Vintersorg are much better.
