BeyondSanity 05.11.10	Here are some of the ones I already have. Evergrey - Recreation Day Nevermore - Dead Heart in a Dead World Nevermore - The Godless Endeavor Symphony X - The Odyssey Symphony X - Paradise Lost (and yes, I know I have to get V)
qwe3 05.11.10	only one you need is Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle Earth
BigHans 05.11.10	Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings, Something Wicked This Way Comes Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth Manowar - Kings of Metal, Battle Hymns
BeyondSanity 05.11.10	Thanks Hans. I'll make sure to pick those up I'm also considering getting Edguy - Theater of Salvation Sonata Arctica - Reckoning Night
McCopper 05.11.10	Keeper of the seven keys and sequel
scissorlocked 05.11.10	Theres no way Nevermore are power metal.... I you look for the best power metal albums then check out Land of the Free-Gamma Ray or Keeper of The & keys Pt 1 or 2-Helloween
BeardedIdiot 05.11.10	Anything by Blind Guradian Wintersun-Wintersun
BeyondSanity 05.11.10	Nevermore is Progressive Metal But there is obvious traces of Power Metal in their albums(especially their earlier ones)
BeyondSanity 05.11.10	Or atleast I think so
Lunarfall 05.11.10	Top Tier Power Metal: Lost Horizon - A Flame to the Ground Beneath Shit Tier Power Metal: Everything Else
Poet 05.11.10	"only one you need is Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle Earth" No! Have the album is shit. "Top Tier Power Metal: Lost Horizon - A Flame to the Ground Beneath Shit Tier Power Metal: Everything Else" Yes!
Lunarfall 05.11.10	knew i shouldve added inb4 Poet to my previous comment
qwe3 05.11.10	nah dude. all power metal is worthless except that album. i know, i have good taste in music y'see
Poet 05.11.10	Yeah you have such ELITE taste. How can I be as Hip as you?
Lunarfall 05.11.10	there is no such thing as a good power metal album longer than 60 minutes theres also no such thing as a good power metal album not named "A Flame to the Ground Beneath"
chaos17 05.11.10	The Black Halo by Kamelot. Best Power Metal album. Ever.
qwe3 05.11.10	its not something you learn yr born with it
scissorlocked 05.11.10	The Black Halo is hellish!!!!You can also check Conception, the singers' previous band.
scissorlocked 05.11.10	Also Angra-Holy Land
Phrike 05.11.10	Rage - Strings To A Web (power/prog) Props for Evergrey, theyre so fucking awesome
widowslaugh123 05.11.10	power metal sucks a lot.
FadeToBlack 05.11.10	imo the only power metal album you need is Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings. but its quite a dark album so probably won't work if you're in a power metal mood
Dryden 05.11.10	i would say just and only blind guardian but im getting bored of them tbh
Emim 05.11.10	What qwe said. Blind Guardian is all you need.
IRAI 05.11.10	Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica. Kamelot - Epica , The Black Halo. Mutiny Within - s/t. its funny how many ppl will say the black halo w/o epica. TBH is part 2 of the story... you dont go and start reading a story ten chapters in. Epica might not be as critically acclaimed, but you'll still want them both for closure. mutiny within is interesting.
Bfhurricane 05.11.10	Kamelot - The Black Halo Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica, Reckoning Night Nightwish - Oceanborn, Once
couch 05.11.10	YO LISTEN TO RHAPSODY OF FIRE MOTHERFUCKER YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE NO ONE HAS SAID RHAPSODY YET... WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS THREAD
Dryden 05.11.10	mighty thunder forkzz
FadeToBlack 05.11.10	Gamma Ray is pretty cool too, specially Land Of The Free and Somewhere Out In Space
Zizzer 05.11.10	Blind Guardian -- Nightfall in Middle Earth And read The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien while you're at it so the lyrics make sense.
Athom 05.11.10	NIGHTFALL IN MIDDLE EARTH
misterhustle24 05.11.10	Savage Circus- Dreamland Manor
zombiepirate57 05.11.10	Adagio- Dominate Aspera- Ripples Auvernia- Towards Eternity Beyond Twilight- For the Love of Art and the Making Cellador- Enter Deception Communic- Waves of Visual Decay Dark Moor- Dark Moor Falconer- Chapters from a Vale Forlorn Firewind- Forged by Fire Hammerfall- Legacy of Kings Kiuas- Reformation Kragens- Seeds of Pain Labyrinth- Labyrinth Manticora- The Black Circus pt.1 Myrath- Desert Call Nocturnal Rites- Shadowland Pagan's Mind- Celestial Entrance Persuader- When Eden Burns Pharaoh- After the Fire Rage- Soundchaser Redemption- The Fullness of Time Savage Circus- Dreamland Manor Secret Sphere- Sweet Blood Theory Seventh Wonder- Mercy Falls Stormwarrior- Heading Northe Transcending Mortality- The Last Horizon Zandelle- Vengeance Rising Also, Lost Horizon, Blind Guardian, and Kamelot are essential.
pedro70512 05.11.10	Gamma Ray: Somewhere Out in Space ("Beyond the Black Hole") Blind Guardian: Nightfall in Middle Earth ("Mirror, Mirror") Helloween: Keeper of the Seven Keys 1+2 ("Eagle Fly Free") Iced Earth: Burnt Offerings ("Burnt Offerings") that's where I'd start. From there you can branch out into similar sounding bands.
