I actually made a list here, took me 30 mins or so. Was giving a disc, for every band... then I thought that the list wasnt what I wanned to say here.
My all time favorite.. THE madman, THE genius...
Devin Townsend.
Really what to say about him?
His first work.... Sex & Religion with Steve Vai. Yes. This is the guy that made you forget about Sreve's alien playing cuz of the "alien" voice.
Devin Tonsend was the frontman (Well he was the whole band) of Strapping Young Lad. If you want metal, listen to Strapping Young Lad.
At 2005 Strapping Young Lad was disband from Devin and now he only works on his solo stuff.
Just a small taste of Devin
And
And
I think I've said too much! :P
