Symphony X, Paradise Lost. In terms of vocals, it is, in my opinion, the best metal song ever recorded- one of the best I've heard in the rock/pop spectrum. It is Russell Allen's signature piece, the bridge is awe inspiring.
Symphony X - The Bird-Serpent War I'd have to agree with the above as well, Paradise Lost is awesome, definitely one of my all time favourite Symphony X, and Russel Allen is amazing in it.
Yeah, I like their older stuff a lot, especially Divine Wings of Tragedy, but Paradise Lost is one of the best albums I've heard. Speaking of best albums I've heard, one of the best tracks from one of my ten favourite albums: Opeth, Reverie/Harlequin Forest
She & Him, Volume two. Who'd a thunk that Zoey Deschanel could be a movie star AND an indie star? Sweet.
^ Epic. I'm on a Beatles kick. Every song, movie, book, etc.... everything Fab Four-related. ATM it's "Hey Bulldog".
