Here is my top ten list of CDs released this year, well at least I think they are pretty good. Thus the list of my opinion. These releases cover a few varied genres...mostly metal or progressive metal. I think these are the top ten as they are all CDs that I constantly listened to throughout the year...constant rotation in my playlist on the Ipod! Perhaps you will agree with me or not, but if you choose to disagree, please add your own choice...well, within reason of course! I mean, please do not try and pollute this list with some terrible country CD. That would be sacrilegious of course! Here goes:

10) Demon Hunter - Storm The Gates Of Hell












9 W.A.S.P. - Dominator












8) Poverty's No Crime - Save My Soul












7) Serenity - Words Untold & Dreams Unlived












6) Saga - 10,000 Days

5) Marillion - Somewhere Else












4) Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet












3) Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura
