Don't worry - it's not a fight!
After the banter I have been involved in over the last few weeks has subsided slightly now - I thought I would consider what power metal albums I have actually bought over the years. Here's the ones I can remember:
Are 54 - No Visable Scars
Area 54 - Beckoning Of The End
Bal Sagoth - Battle Magic
Children Of Bodom - Hatebreeder
Chlidren Of Bodom -
Chlidren Of Bodom - Hatecrew Death Roll
Demons And Wizards - Demons And Wizards
Gamma Ray - No World Order
Helloween - Keeper Of TheSeven Keys Part II*
Helloween - Better Than Raw
Iced Earth - Iced Earth
Iced Earth - Night Of The Storm Rider
Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings
Iced Earth - Days Of Purgatory
Iced Earth - Dark Saga*
Iced Earth - Something Wicked This Way Comes*
Iced Earth - Horror Show
Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden
Nightwish - Wishmaster
Nightwish - Century Child
Nightwish - Once
Primal Fear - Black Sun
Stratovarius - Elements Part I
Symphony X - The Divine Wings Of Tragedy
Symphony X - V
Symphony X - The Odyssey*
Three Inches Of Blood - Battlecry Under A Winter Sun
Threshold - Critical Mass
Threshold - Critical Energy
1998 was a great year for me and power metal, and as you can tell, I used to like Iced Earth! Anyway...
What power metal albums do you own? Any ones you are particularly proud or ashamed of?
And don't be dirty: downloading doesn't count - they have to be REAL copies.
I haven't included stuff like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden - who some people might say were.
* denotes particularly good power metal album
