He's in my top 54 though.....

54 seems a tad low, but who am I to complain? I dig your taste more than just about anyone else on this forum. By the way, I downloaded Orgasm. Holy shit!! That was some ridiculously innovative stuff! I mean seriously, death metal in 1968!? Blows my mind...

Tell me Anteater, do you like Renaldo and the Loaf? I just adore Arabic Yodelling.

Death metal, black metal, hardcore, industrial...the elements are all there, even if they're sometimes buried within the psychedelic chaos of some of the tracks.

And yeah, Renaldo and the Loaf are utter win. They need more attention here on MB!

Update to thread: Here's a killer live version of Level 42's Starchild that a friend directed me to!

On another point of interest, Dir En Grey are in possession of one of the most frighteningly talented frontmen in contemporary music today, Kyo, who could be best described as a Japanese Mike Patton in terms of vocal range coupled with the emotional sensibilities of a less whiny Thom Yorke.

For months, the "Lizard" influenced cover always caught my eye in the cd rack, but I never bought. I finally gave in, was immediately impressed with the vocalist, and thought "that lady can sing!" Turns out Kyo is a dude, but what a falsetto, what a growl, what a scream! Certainly destined to supplant Boris as Japan's best musical export.
