The Cage

Definitely an unexpected pleasant surprise for me in 1999. I always loved Tony Martin's work with Black Sabbath. I always felt that he never got the respect he deserved because he was filling the shoes of Ozzy and Dio. Get over it people! In my opinion, he's a better singer than them, but why open that can of worms? This guy has a phenomenal voice. And teamed up with Italian guitar hero Dario Mollo, they've put together a really top notch, hard edged album. Unfortunately I think this was a one-off project and they've both moved on to other things, but either way, they left us with a really good album, and you should all get it. I highly recommend this one. --Scott
