It's a common misconseption that Iron Maiden is power metal... While it is diferent, thyat's was the easiest way of describing power metal in a sentance. And if you think ANY of those bands sound like Death Metal, you must have hearing problems.

[10th man down]

Kamelot - Karma
Nightwish - Once
Nightwish - Wishmaster
Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night
Kamelot - The Fourth Legacy

[Permanent Solution]

Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm
Rhapsody - Symphony of Enchanted Lands II
Blind Guardian - Imaginations from the Other Side
Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica
Stratovarius - Visions

[Apocalyptic Raids]

Dungeon - A Rise To Power
Demons & Wizards - Self Titled
Running Wild - Black Hand Inn (I consider them more Speed Metal... but I can't think of many Power Metal albums I really, really like and they're close enough to PM I guess :D)
Dungeon - Resurrection
Iced Earth - Alive In Athen (meh... I couldn't think of anything else :upset:)

[VeedBok]

Luca Turilli- King of the Nordic Twilight
Rhapsody- Dawn of Victory
Symphony X- Twilight in Olympus
Magic Kingdom- Metallic Tragedy
Dragonforce- Sonic Firestorm

[Dave de Sylvia]

If you're going to get a DragonForce album, get the latest one. It's so much more well-presented than the others.

Stratovarius - Elements Pt. 1
Blind Guardian - Imaginations from the Other Side
