A Distant Thunder and Burning Star are f**king nostalgic albums for me!!!!! 
I'm surprised and glad to see them on here :)))))

Nice to see another Helstar fan, they're one of the few bands where I love every single one of their albums. Burning Star is one of my all time favorites, I have a review of it over at MetalMusicArchives if you're interested. The underrated Multiples of Black is also one of my favorites.

I haven't heard everything they've put out but I wholeheartedly agree with you. each album (I've heard) is consistently great!
Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

The Doors
The Who
U2
Gentle Giant
Kansas(just missing top ten)
ELP
Moody Blues

It's funny how the core of my list hasn't changed much. I even had REM just now but removed them. They would still be a bubbling under band for me though. Yes, I know I might be the only one on this forum who likes them. I also like the Smiths and the Cure but don't know them well enough to put them on a list. I forgot Kansas this time around too. I also am a big fan of Black Sabbath but didn't squeeze them in this time or even last time for that matter. I guess the bottom line is I still have a lot of music to explore. Don't we all? Wink

At this moment (no order):

Barclay James Harvest
Camel
Jethro Tull
Damanek
Wobbler
Beardfish
Rikard Sjöblom's Gungfly
The Flower Kings
Gentle Giant
Gösta Berlings Saga

Guess I'm on a scandinavian / eclectic streak.
And I just get rid of my old loves. The only ones dissappearing out of sight are; Saga and Marillion

I know what it's like to love a band that almost noboy does or forgot about.
I love The Fixx and almost nobody knows them (Alex Lifeson is influenced by Jamie West-Oram though)
