Symphony X from the selection. Not the best of these years for me though. Best of 1996 for me would be Grave Digger - Tunes of War, followed by Kvist - For kunsten maa vi evig vike. Other worthy 1996 albums for me: Ancient Wisdom - For Snow Covered the Northland Gorefest - Soul Survivor Iced Earth - The Dark Saga Opeth - Morningrise Stratovarius - Episode As for 1997, best for me would have to be Gamma Ray - Somewhere Out in Space, but a very honorable mention to Iced Earth - Days of Purgatory. Probably be #1, but they seem to consider it a comp. My favourite Iced Earth release though. Others: Borknagar - The Olden Domain Foo Fighters - The Colour and the Shape Iron Savior - Iron Savior Stratovarius - Visions Within Temptation - Enter ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Stratovarius is more like a guilty pleasure for me so that's why they don't make the polls. I rarely listen to prog-death Opeth, not being much into growls but they're always be in the worthy mentions list. The musicianship is great but I sometimes struggle with the growls.  I listened to Iced Earth a bit a few years ago, maybe I'll give them another chance. |

Symphony X for me as well. Hard to say what my actual favorite from that year is, though from the poll I also like Therion, Helloween (one of my favorite of theirs with Deris, actually), Bruce Dickinson and Pain of Salvation, out of Adam's additional albums I like Grave Digger and Stratovarius (especially Visions), and I also have a few of my own honorable mentions: In Flames - The Jester Race, Whoracle Rage - Lingua Mortis Rhapsody - Legendary Tales

"The Politics Of Ecstasy" for me. It´s one of my favorite Nevermore albums. Absolutely crushingly heavy, yet still melodic, and technically very well played/sung. Brilliant album to my ears... ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

you've just described perfectly the reason why I like Nevermore, I could not have said it better myself. BTW, if you miss Nevermore, make sure you listen to Van Williams new band called Ghost Ship Octavius. |

Pain of Salvation for me, that debut is amazing. ------------- If I say fuck two more times that's forty-six fucks in this fucked up rhyme |

Symphony X for me. I've got albums by most of those bands in my collection but surprisingly few from those years. Also not on the list that I rate... Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill Opeth - Morningrise and My Arms Your Hearse Rush - Test for Echo Soundgarden - Down on the Upside The Gathering - Nightime Birds |
