For me it was Metal church, the human factor. Similar reasons, not that it is objectively good..
The singer changed a few times over the years, and then Mike Howe was back, I immediately bought tickets for the show, and then a few months after finally getting to see the band that helped through those 16 yo angst.. he passed away. But I did get thank both the singer and the founder for helping me through those times.
