1. dream theater - Images and words 
2. dream theater- awake
3. Queensryche- Operation mindcrime 
4. Fates Warning- parallels 
5. Fates Warning- Perfect Symmetry 
6. Symphony X- The Divine Wings of Tragedy
7. Crimson Glory- Crimson Glory/Transcendence (can't decide which i like better)
8. Angra- Temple of Shadows
9. Dream Theater- When Dreams and Day Unite( First Dream Theater record I heard :) still love a few songs from that album)
10. Conception-  In your Multitude 


Theres so many more. But when I think of my top 10 currently, those come to mind. I doubt the top 5 will ever change. those have cemented themselves as personal favorites, and bench marks of genre.

Nice choices. I see we have a few mutual favorites :). never heard of Lacrimosa though, I'll have to check em out.   I listened to Digital Ghosts for the  1st time today actually, Huge fan of SG btw. can't decide wheat my favorite by them is. Legacy is one only album by them that i've yet to hear. I need to give that one a liste, I've heard from a lot of people that it's a great album.

Hmm...I'm going to try not to repeat a band too many times:
1. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2 Scenes From a Memory
2. Seventh Wonder - The Great Escape
3. Symphony X - The Odyssey
4. Seventh Wonder - Mercy Falls
5. Dream Theater - Images and Words
6. Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Grey
7. Circus Maximus - Isolate
8. Redemption - Snofall on Judgement Day
9. Epica - The Divine Wings of Tragedy
10. Riverside - Out of Myself

There's so many more I want to include, and I was tempted to try not to repeat a band more than once for the list....

I lost a LOT of respect for Pain of Salvation with Scarsick, Road Salt, and Road Salt 2.  Perhaps I should have included them in the list but I've lost so much interest in them.

^ Thanks man.
I forgot to add Russian Circles in my list. I enjoy them more than Periphery, so maybe I'd swap them for the number 10 spot. Great to see Isis on your list as well. Fantastic Atmospheric, Sludgy Metal. Thumbs Up

Can't manage more than three
Tool -Lateralus

Yes. They have that heavy sludge feeling to them with a great pysch flavor due to their richard wright on keys.

That sounds phenomenal! Are they Floyd influenced? I've just been recently listening to a lot of Isis, Neurosis, Pelican, Battles, so these guys should be right up that alley.
I'll check them out tonight. I'll let you know what I think once I hear some songs. Thumbs Up
