Ancient Dome is great, but it's hard to find their albums... The Showdown is really cool too!

ANTITHESIS are one of my favorite progressive metal bands. Not sure they are active these days.

JOHN ARCH
LICH KING
EXODUS
CAULDRON BORN
MEGADETH
PESTILENCE

SANCTUARY
SINISTER
CRIMSON GLORY

My favourite 5 for the last few years remain unchanged:

1- UDO
2- Accept

5- Kiss

Pretty much the same as they've been for quite a while:

Yeah, it's OK. You can tell they are a really skilled band but I don't like the songs the same way I love the songs on the first two albums.

I haven't had any newer bands make their way into my favorites...

The Beatles
King's X
U2
Journey
Black Sabbath (w/ Dio)
Mr. Big
Alice In Chains
Kansas

i guess currently i'd say Asphyx, Gaf, Immolation, Agoraphopic Nosebleed, Impaled Nazarene, F*ck The Facts, Aborted, Haemorrhage, God Dethroned, Last Days Of Humanity, Hail Of Bullets...
