I have a nine year old Blue-Fronted Amazon parrot -- I've been a huge fan of birds and parrots ever since I was a small child. Anyone else have the privilege of caring for one of these exoric creatures?

I know they're relatively obscure, i.e. not mainstream at all, however, I am absolutely IN LOVE with Wilson's work, as well as Opeth.

I will qualify that by saying that I'm really not into the prog metal scene very much at all...

Because I love to turn people onto epic new music, I'll post a few songs from Wilson and Opeth to check out:

1) Steven Wilson -- The Raven That Refused to Sing

2) Opeth -- The Drapery Falls (off of one of my all time favorite albums ever, Blackwater Park!)

Type O Negative's cover of "Summer Breeze" is sheer beauty!

Although metal is, without a doubt, my favorite genre of music, I'm not sure I qualify as a "metal head..."

I have to choose two artists, because they kind of go hand in hand --

1) Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree)

2) Opeth
