@Mel: Batallions of Fear, impossible to compare with Nightfall in Middle Earth in all aspects.
@Everybody: I like the two first albums by Rhapsody, I hate live shows by Rhapsody, I like many power metal bands, I hate many power metal bands... All depends on the band we're talking about, and not the style they play at all. In the 80's there are a lot of bands in America that followed the "glam" style, and only the great ones survived. In early 90's there are million of bands that followed Nirvana in their style, and only Nirvana, Soundgarden and a few bands survived (nor their members). And so on. (Btw: I don't like Glam so much, I hate Nirvana).
