Ok, one final bump with the tally on how I rated the best of the best songs/albums, and who made the purchase list. Far fewer purchases than my last roulette, since I now have access thru Spotify. Next step is to check out the discography's of many of these - already in progress with W.A.S.P. Although (perhaps thankfully) several of them only have 1 album.
Purchase made:
The Poodles / Devil in the Details
HolyHell / HolyHell
W.A.S.P. / The Crimson Idol
Hibria / The Skull Collectors
Abydos / The Little Boy's Heavy Mental Shadow Opera About the Inhabitants of His Diary
The Paralydium Project / The Paralydium Project
Mattador / Save Us From Ourselves (well… not really a purchase, Brent was kind enough to “share” it with me).
The Chronicles Project / When Darkness Falls
Universe Effects / In The Haze That Surrounds Us

Arion / Last of Us
