Nick Schultz
Musician at: The Faces Of Sarah
1. Roger Waters - The Pros & Cons Of Hitch Hiking
"Always been a huge Pink Floyd fan, but over the years I've grown to love Waters solo material more and more. Simply sublime album."
2. Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell
"Ronnie James Dio was an incredible singer and had a huge influence on me musically and vocally. This is an incredible album from start to finish."
3. Queen - Live At Wembley 1986
"Loved Queen since I was a kid and Freddie was untouchable as a singer/frontman. Not a great fan of live albums but this one captured a truly amazing moment in time."
4. Marillion - Clutching At Straws
"Lyrically and musically stunning."
5. The Raveonettes - Observator
"Minimalistic, dark, bleak but somehow still catchy. Really clever stuff. Love this band so much and this album is simply superb."

5. Enthroned - Xes Haereticum
"When I was asked to name my top five albums I already stormed through my head and thought: “How is it even possible to reduce my choices to five albums.” Well I really need to say that this is not easy at all and a lot of compromises need to be done. Another important, non-Metal thing is the fact that actually a lot of my inspiration and “top” music is actually cinematic or orchestral music."
