Same purpose as the other thread, but by far more awesome due to the music content.

PS. Megadeth and Manowar

Edit: FUCK I FORGOT THE W IN POWER and THE FUCKING A IN METAL. I shouldn't be allowed to make threads...
 
I don't listen to power metal.

Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Testament got me into thrash, in the late 80s and very early 90s. Aside from Slayer, I no longer listen to those bands. Nowadays when I listen to thrash, I prefer Sodom, Sadus, Protector, Kreator, Schizo, etc.
 
Thrash - old Metallica, Slayer, Overkill, Anthrax, and Megadeth

Power Metal - Dragonforce, Cellador, Helloween, and Blind Guardian
 
My first thrash record was Metallica's "Master of Puppets". I think I was in junior high. after that it was no turning back.

never really got too into power metal
 
Thrash: Metallica - Kill em All WHEN IT CAME OUT!

Yeah, that's right. I am THAT old and THAT cool.

As for Power Metal, it depends on the definition. What os the definition? Is it just Blind Guardian and Rhapsody and stuff like that? Or does it include, say, Metal Church and stuff like that?

Either or. I've always been partial to TRUE CLASSIC power metal.
