Best Power Metal Band? : 2nd Round

[grandbazaar]

NOTE: the QUESTION to the POLL CHANGED and this poll will close in 5 days

I'ved decide to take symphony X out since they are more prog than Power-Metal, although i still believe they have some elements of power metal in some of their songs. Manowar also disaapears since they aren't power-metal at all, my mistake.
Special Entries in this Poll are Gamma Ray

[grandbazaar]

Not every band can be named best band!

Sonata Arctica gets my vote, they just have never done anything for me. Silence bored me to tears. Blind Guardian and Gamma Ray crush all.

Had to go with Nightwish..if I wanted to go to the opera, I'd go to the damn opera. Tarja is a talented singer, but I loathe her opera style..IMO, Nightwish would be some awesome music if she'd shut the hell up.

Okay Liz, I'll try not to bottle up my feelings anymore..

Iced Earth isn't power metal man.

I rather like the hybrid actualah......All the male power metal singers aren't doing much different; it's just male opera with high voices instead of deep ones. Yes I know there's no such thing, but it's a paralleled equivalent.

Hmm I acctually did just the same, only with HammerFall...
I will admit that HammerFall is quite cheesy and unoriginal, but still they are one hell of a live band and have some really catchy tunes.

Nightwsih however is the one I would have voted for here, as I can stand them anymore.
At first I found them a bit interessting because they were new and different, but not making any progression through all their album doesnt exactly help them along on the way, pluss their playing sucks!!!
And they are becoming more and more of a band for young pop girls!
Im thinking in a few years time we will have the same mass hysteria around Nightwish as we have had around Backstreet Boys, Westlife and all the other gay boybands.

Gamma ray! I hate gamma ray!!!!

I feel exactly the same damned way! Jeez, their music is awesome, but I hate the fact that the few women in the scene seem to think that they HAVE to sing "beautifully operatic and ethereal" BAH!

I think that's what I like about Dark Moor so much! .....

~Sh0k~

I voted for hammerfall. They're pretty good, but I like the other bands there more.
