I looooooooove power metal and heavy metal, two god tier genres. However, I feel that the songs I listen to are quite limited, and I want to get TL's opinions on some good power metal songs.
Songs are listen to are basically the very common ones: some of Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Bullet for my Valentine and Stratovarius. The more guitar/drum there is, the better. If there are solo parts, even better!
Vocals do not really matter :p
Recommend away!

Try listening to: Gamma Ray, Helloween, Lost Horizon, Edguy.

You should be good for 2 weeks. If need more just ask

DragonForce of course. But you (like everyone else) probably already know about them. Afterall, they are the pioneers of the post-music and post-speed genres.. Nobody hasn't heard of them.

Reaction to thread title - Hmm, power metal, heavy metal. Might have something for this young padawan.

Then, me as I read on -

Sonata Arctica

o.o
Nightwish

-.-
Bullet for my Valentine

>.<
Stratovarius

x.x

Kids these days. No sense of the CLASSICS!

I'm of course talking of Judas Priest, King Diamond, Motorhead, Dio and so on.

The Cage by Sonata Arctica
The Power of One by Sonata Arctica
I recommend the majority of Sonata's work before Unia, which has a lot of good power metal in it, before they switched genres. Especially the Silence/Winterheart's Guild/Ecliptica albums

Blind Guardian is fantastic too and worth a listen.
Dragonforce is popular as hell so give it a shot. Look at Iced Earth/Manowar/Hammerfall.

My favorites are definitely Stratovarius and Sonata Arctica.
Oh and I am talking purely about Power Metal here. I never liked power that much and I stopped listening to metal some while ago.

I hope I dont piss off anyone, but half of their stuff sounds the same with ridiculous lyrics to boot.

Edit: I forgot about avantasia's metal opera. That stuff is fantastic and worth listening to. I felt I was missing something here.

Iron savior, primal fear, king diamond (the vocals bother some people. but his conceptual albums are so good and the solos are godlike). And Iron maiden, LISTEN TO MAIDEN.

Dragonforce songs eh?

Operation Ground and Pound beats the shit out of TTFATF
Valley of the Damned is classic, way better than any of the rest of the songs they did.
Fields of Despair is great

Look me up, if you want those stuff I got them in my com.

Dragonforce is complete shit

I'd definitely recommend Ensiferum's first two albums and Wintersun, though
And of course, who doesn't know Iron Maiden?

Oh yes, these songs are fucking awesome, especially The Cage. One of my favourite Sonata Arctica songs EVER.

Listening to all the youtube videos, thanks for the recommendation guys, keep em coming!

avantasia - the metal opera (probably one of the best power metal album)

Iced Earth - Something wicked this way comes (whole album is good) Might not be what you're looking for

I think you might really like Children of Bodom if you dont mind the vocals. If you want a specific song to youtube my first which got me into them was Silent Night Bodom Night. I think its the type you're looking for

I think avantasia and children of bodom are the type you might be looking for while iced earth is just a personal favorite of mine that you might want to check out.

Have to agree about DF's live. Their vocalist isn't bad though.
Kona's at that stage where anything goes, he wants it fast and he wants it hard.
