Once I finish completing my Dio, Savatage, and Galactic Cowboys discography, I will make mass comps for them too.

Nice mix there DB, looking forward to the Dio & Savatage lists.

Would have to pick Disc 6 myself.

Excellent comps DB especially due to how many deep cuts made unto your discs.

I don't think I could come up with enough Maiden tracks to make a Best Of comp. I'm just not a fan of Bruce's soprano vocals.

Yeah, I know, that's sacrilege on a metal board.

Thanks, Maiden has been my favorite band since '93 and only Savatage has come close. Now that I once again have all the studio releases, I wanted to play my favorite Maiden songs but also mix them up instead of going through each album one by one and skipping my least favorite. Origionally I was only going to pick my four favorite from each album but on albums like Killers, Somewhere In Time, Seventh Son, etc. I couldn't narrow it down.

All I need is Angry Machines (which shouldn't cost too much) and Sirens (which does cost too much)

He still sounds like Tarja Turunen to my ears.

Yet somehow I like Rob Halford. Go figure.

EDIT: to add that in general, the older I get, the less tolerance I seem to have for the stereotypical metal "shriek". Kai Hansen, Andi Deris, Bruce Dickinson, Tim Owens, even most Halford, just seems to grate on my ears.


Lower register vocals are my main reason for liking a band like Falconer; power metal without the "cat tail in a toaster" vocals.

Just my opinion which I realize is not a popular one.

Of course I don't mean that literally; I'm "posting" metaphorically.

I've just gotten to the point where I don't like high pitched male vocals. Remember my opinion of Steve Perry?

This is just an extension of that.

But I don't want to derail your IM comp thread so please continue.

BTW,

I'm over here listening to high school girls (Care Bears On Fire) shrieking about not fitting into the Barbie image so it's not like I have any room to criticize the vocals of bands other people like.

hey DB, any significance to the order of the tunes or why you put what songs on what disc ?

thanks, laterz

Nice!!! Maiden is one of my two favorite bands!!!!

Nice comps!

I love Iron Maiden!!!

Nice comp
