This site is dedicated to my favourite bands and albums.

My all-time favourite song is Open your Eyes by Guano Apes. It has so much power & energy, I'm still fascinated by this song. I listened to no other album so often than to 'Proud like a god' in my younger days.
Though their succeeding albums were also awesome, this album influenced by whole taste of music. And I managed to visit one of their last concerts (before the first split-up), in Fürth on February 21st 2005. And it was great!

My second favourite band soon became is Korn. I listened to them the first time when a friend showed me their video Got the life on television. And then I saw them live @ Rock am Ring 2004 for the first, what a concert!

Well, in the last decade my taste of music changed a bit, but not too much... Still loving Alternative Rock!
During the last few years, I listened most to the albums of Flyleaf, with Lacey sturm as lead singer. Her voice is incredible! As it's still an insider tip in Germany! After her leaving of Flyleaf, she finally released her first solo album - be sure to check it out!
Another (older) band I really like is Eyes set to kill - check them out, too!

So, here my list of albums that influenced my taste of music, some of them even my life... and to all of them I have personal memories of different kinds, so somehow this list is really private to me.
