only 2 I've loved so far are Story of the Year and Creye.
Plenty of great stuff to look forward to though. I'm personally stoked to hear the new Metallica in a few days time. First 4 singles kick arse imo.
Other more melodic stuff on my radar this year is Winger, ModX, Midnite City, Nitrate, new David Forbes solo album, Vega, Lebrock, Defiants, Nighthawk & Degreed and hoping there might be a new NFO
