here's what i like:
Dream Theater - Pull Me Under or Overture 1828
Deep Purple - Highway Star
Dio - Man on the Silver Mountain
Edguy - Hallowed
Maiden - Trooper or Hallowed Be Thy Name or Flight of Icarus
Scorpions - Sails of Charon
Iced Earth - 1776
throw in whatever you want.
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
