power metal, the guilty pleasure

Mosts bands from all genres of Metal have cheesy/stupid/shitty lyrics, so don't even bring that issue up...
 
It's not a guilty pleasure, I like power metal. Sure it's cheesy, so what? Most Black/Death metal bands have incredibly stupid lyrics and no one says anything because it's "aggressive" and "masculine". Bullshit.

So, power metal can be all about (most bands at least) fantasy, dragons, elves, dwarves, rainbows, etc... where's the big difference? To be honest with you, I prefer cheesy to stupid, but that's just me.
 
ahem... I only listen to powermetal.
Gamma Ray, Iron Savior, Heavenly, Sonata Arctica, Blind Guardian, Edguy, IronWare, Avantasia, Nightwish, Primal Fear and ATLANTIS among others ;)
Fan of cheesy metal - i compose cheesy stuff myself :d Ofcourse, I like Europe as well.
But hail powermetal :d The sun shall shine!! :d lol
