Graves of the Archangels / Oceanic / Psalm 9
 
So is there any traditional and/or power metal you guys wouldn't vote off? If Helloween isn't worthy surely no other German power metal (aside from obviously Blind Guardian) will survive, and if Queensryche, Metal Church, Manowar, and Savatage are considered second-rate I don't know what else there is aside from more Maiden/Priest. Are Restless & Wild, Lightning to the Nations, or Angel Witch's S/T acceptable?

The Rack/Det Som/Heart
 
I would like to see Crom - Vengeance on the list.

Also, Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine or Terria.

Thoughts?

Also, what about FNM - Angel Dust. Is this metal enough or do we consider this more rock? It's got a definite metal edge to it and it's fucking brilliant.
