Music is one of my main passions in life. I think everything is better with music playing. I grew up listening to classic rock and metal, but these days I gravitate to more modern music that can't always be pinned to a specific genre. Some of my favorites are Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Devin Townsend, Moonspell, and Katatonia.
I love to hear from other fans, and discover new music. Please feel free to use the contact me link to suggest your favorite bands, and music Websites.

A Sampling of great prog, rock, and metal bands
-
Epica
-
Epica is a metal masterpiece from the Netherlands. The combination of Simone Simon's angelic mezzo-soprano vocals and Mark Jansen's intensely masculine vocals are simply unforgettable. Add to this the amazing musical talents of Ad Sluijte...
-
Porcupine Tree
-
It is impossible to describe Porcupine Tree, except to say that their music is addictive. They can't really be categorized into a specifc genre. Some call them progressive, and some metal, and others rock. They are a little bit of everything. Each CD...

Lacuna Coil
-
One of the things that I love about my husband is that he is always turning me on to great music. A few years ago he introduced me to Lacuna Coil and I was instantly smitten. Cristina and Andrea's beautiful vocals and the band's melodies combi...

Kamelot

I'm a big fan of the band Kamelot, but I only discovered them a few years ago. I fell in love with the music, after listening to the Epica and Black Halo CDs. I am simply stunned and amazed by the talent and impressive musicianship of thi...

Opeth
-
Opeth is often described as melodic death metal. Truly, there is nothing else like them. As musicians, they are all spectacular, and the vocals are one of a kind. I have never heard a voice as soft and smooth as Mikael's, yet at the same time, he has...

Official MySpace Pages
- Anekdoten
- The official MySpace for this amazing progressive metal band from Stockholm Sweden.
- Moonspell
- Moonspell's official profile. The best description I have seen of Moonspell is that it is both brutal and melodic. They are dynamic and charismatic live, and the music addictive.
- Strapping Young Lad
- SYL's official MySpace. To me SYL is a mixture of testosterone, and plenty of good humor.
- Wolverine
- Check out this fantastic progressive metal band from Sweden. There must be something wonderful in the water there.
- MySpace Music
- Growing directory of official MySpace music pages. I quickly realized that there are far more official MySpace pages for great prog, rock, and metal bands, so I created a lens just for that.

Great prog, rock, and metal CDs
These are a few of the CDs I listen to every day. I'd love to hear some of yours.
Vinland Saga
Leaves' Eyes second release. I'm completely addicted to this CD. The combination of the beautiful voice of former Theater of Tragedy vocalist Liv Kristine and the aggressive death vocals of her husband Alexander Krull is irresistable.
Release Date: 07/19/2005
Ghost Reveries
Another brilliant release from Opeth. This CD includes both the heavier side and the more haunting melodic side of Opeth. A masterpiece!
Release Date: 08/30/2005
Deadwing
A fantastic CD from my favorite band. I highly recommend Porcupine Tree to everyone and this CD is a great place to start, if you are just getting acquainted with the band.
Release Date: 04/26/2005
In Absentia
This is in my opinion, a perfect CD. Brilliant song writing, and a wonderful experience from start to finish.
