Ah, where shall I begin. I enjoy many of their songs because they are so topical to my fantasy reading interests, be it The Dark Tower ("Somewhere Far Beyond"), the Silmarillion and Lord of the Rings (Nightfall in Middle-Earth and some others on their other albums), Elric of Melnibone ("Run Fast to Madness", "Cry for Tanelorn", "Quest for Tanelorn", etc. etc.), and now they finally tackled A Song of Ice and Fire and The Wheel of Time on their latest album At the Edge of Time ("The War of the Thrones and "A Voice in the Dark", "Ride into Obsession" and "Wheel of Time", respectively), which was a treat for me (also "Valkyries" and "Control the Divine" (which is based on Paradise Lost) are pretty amazing. Heck, it's all pretty amazing, even "Sacred Worlds" which was apparently done for some video game I never heard of). Plus a bunch of other stuff I can't remember but it's all pretty great.
