[QUOTE=s0ldsoul4roknrol]Well, since the Melodic Death Metal poll went over well, I was thinking about making one for power metal...[/QUOTE]

Do it.

Alright I will in awhile. Like a half hour or something.

I'm thinking of including these bands:

Hammerfall
Stratovarious
Iced Earth
Blind Guardian
Dragonforce
Rhapsody
Helloween
Sonata Arctica
Nightwish

and I'm debating the tenth either Grave Digger, CoB, 3 inches of Blood, or Kotipelto.

Anyone got any objections?

Looks like a good list to me.

Who should the tenth be?

Cob.

So be it.

I'll put up the poll in a little while. I want that Iai guy to come on. He seems to be a big power metal fan.

[QUOTE=s0ldsoul4roknrol]Who should the tenth be?[/QUOTE]

Lost Horizon, Freedom Call, Avantasia...any of those three.

Manowar, perhaps?

Well, I've been looking through some of the bands mentioned here at last. I've come to a conclusion. I need to buy the following albums in this order, ASAP:

Edguy- Hellfire Club
Nightwish- Once (I pirated half of it)
Lost Horizon- Flame to hte Ground Beneath
Running Wild- Black Hand Inn

I so regret not having discovered Edguy sooner.

Should CoB be the tenth band in the power metal poll I will soon make? Or should I choose one that I haven't heard from what Frail said.

if you put cob all the stupid kiddies who probably found out that cob arent black metal last month (!) will vote for them...

That is true. So should I put Lost Horizon, Grave Digger or 3 Inches of Blood? Or any other suggestions for bands? Maybe Edguy or Running Wild although I've never heard either, they seem to be popular here.

Edguy started out with a more classic sound, but have taken a heavier approach on Hellfire Club.

Running Wild are also being described as Pirate Metal. It's so over-the-top you can't help but love it.

If that's any help...

Well, let's put it this way... When I get a tenth band I'll post the poll :chug:

Children of Bodom.

CoB will attract all the death/black metal fans though.

no running wild are older and more traditional than the other groups, they just dont fit in.

if you put dragonforce (2 albums) then you should also put lost horizon (2 albums too) but I dont think they are quite popular in here.

i just bought two COB albums, (hatebreeder and follow the reaper)
teh own! lol
i want more power metal list 3 more albums i essentially need

Please put COB :lol: They are my favorite band and I think they deserve in the poll.

Lost Horizon it is. Power Metal Poll should be up soon.

I like them a lot, but we all know they would destroy that poll.

edguy are quite similar to some of the other bands

Hammerfall - Crimson Thunder
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth

and maybe something by Stratovarious or Dragonforce.

Ok, It's down to Edguy and Lost horizon. The first person to say one of those bands will get them on the poll.

I dont want to be forced to choose between lost horizon (I'd like to support them because they rule but they are not popular here) and blind guardian (there's always a special place in my heart for them)...so put edguy :D

Alright will be up soon(hopefully :lol: )

Lost Horizon.
