    OK, forget what I said earlier, I was wrong. Well I listen to no music right now but I must say I like Blind Guardian. Both the melody and the lyrics, especially Tolkien-inspired ones like The Hobbit and Mirror Mirror. That's really something since I'm not so much a Tolkien fan anymore.

    Towards Stratovarius, I have mixed feelings. I listen to it sometimes, but honestly don't like most pieces. Like to me, Destiny starts well but gets extremely boring in the end and Visions is scary in the bad way because it has Nostradamus stuff.

    Yet one more Westers Heavy Metal band, Nightwish. Well I listen to it as well, sometimes. In one phase I didn't care whether it was Tarja Turunen or Anette Olzon but now I'm more of a bitter Tarja fanboy.

    Then there's a Japanese punk/hard rock/rap/whatever band called Maximum The Hormone. I learned about it through Death Note anime themes. Speaking of which, I also enjoy many other anime soundtracks including Pokemon, Digimon, Sailor Moon, Neon Genesis Evangelion to name a few.

    I also like classical music. Tšaikovski being one of my favourites.

    The guys of Blind Guardian/Iced Earth/Demons & Wizards (they all have a couple common band members) are serious book nerds. I love it. Demons & Wizards did an album based entirely on Stephen King's Dark Tower series. Amazing album.

    I like Stratovarius but only in small dosages. Their use of the the same various keyboard sounds gets rather tedious after awhile. Which is why I enjoy their new album. It's still typical Stratovarius but not so heavy on the keyboards.

    Upon first hearing Anette, I was rather disappointed. But after listening more and more to Dark Passion Play, I decided that Marco's deeper involvement in the vocals more than made up for it. I really like his voice. It's unique. However, I still maintain that Tarja will always be better. She has her own orchestra or something now, though, which is pretty awesome.

    Never heard of them (the band), ha. I don't get much into anime, really. I used to watch a little bit--DBZ and Cowboy Bebop.

    I like classical music a lot. I'm not sure if I have a particular favourite composer, though. However, if you like classical music, you may enjoy this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjA5faZF1A8

    Ohh, awesome! I am also a fan of anime soundtracks. Pokémon show tracks will always be near and dear to my heart. Fond memories and etc. Evangelion also has a lovely soundtrack. The music really added to the last few episodes being so emotional and powerful, I think.

    I like how many animes have super catchy theme songs. For example.. Hoshi no Kaabii, Outlaw Star, and Wolf's Rain have themes that get hopelessly stuck in my head if I'm not careful.
