This is the time of the year that Heavy Paradise releases its "BEST OF" lists!!! It will sound a bit cliche, it's true, 2018 was yet another very good year, musically speaking.
It seems that the music that we all love and we all grew up with continues to fill up our lives, hearts n' minds with tons of good music. Of course it's always been a matter of personal taste but c'mon....it's only rock 'n' roll here! Those bands, musicians, record labels, promoters e.t.c. give their all to keep the fire alive, to keep the fire burning!
As always, the same this year, I have to say a HUGE thank you to all the Heavy Paradise's readers, followers and those who give this webzine their support to continue (hopefully for many years,,,at the end Heavy Paradise is a web-zine that's only for the love and passion of this music, nothing more nothing less). A HUGE thank you, also, to all the bands/record labels/managers e.t.c and of course, a HUGE thank you to all my close people that support me all of those years!!
.........thank you!!!!! Words are not enough!!!!!
So, this is it for now ladies and gentlemen.....I hope you'll enjoy the following lists and enjoy the music. At the end, the one thing that matters the most is THE MUSIC!!!
