Bought a "The Best of Mercyful Fate" CD
Very nice 
I don't know most of their songs, but what I do know - I like alot.
I like their music alot. It's called Danish Black Metal, but it's much more similar to a mix between Thrash, Speed and Goth. It's very very melodical and has alot of great solos. Their guitar and bass riffs are great and their drumming is very powerfull. Hardly your regular north / east european black metal.
I like the cool satanist motiefs. Not a Satanist my self, nontheless I've always had interest in the "dark side" and even though I'm not 12 year old anymore, their content is still "cool"
I like King Diamond's earier singing style, though I'd wish he'd still keep it more on tune and melodic. Still it fits the whole evil satanic aura perfectly.
The collection contains alot of their earlier stuff which I like. The only 2 songs I wish were included that isn't there, are Buried Alive and The Oath.
The disc includes:
1. Doomed by the Living Dead
2. A Corpse Without A Soul
3. Nuns Have No Fun
4. Evil
5. Curse of the Pharaohs
6. Into the Coven (if this song isn't the essense of evil Metal, then what is?)
7. Black Funeral
8. Satan's Fall
9. A Dangerous MEeting
10. Desecration of Souls
11. Gypsy
12. Come to the Sabbath
13. Burning the Cross
14. Return of the Vampire
