Which is the greatest PM ever?

[Einherjar86]

I'm slightly appalled by the choices in the OP.

Not going to lie, I have a soft spot for Fairyland; but there's no way that Pathfinder or Rhapsody of Fire should even be on that list (or Fairyland either, if I'm being objective).

I can't pick a song, but it would probably come from one of the following albums:

Virgin Steele: The Marriage of Heaven and Hell releases
Kamelot: The Fourth Legacy
Kiuas: The Spirit of Ukko

Woah, who da fuck are you? But yeah, good list.

Oh, and everyone needs to stop pretending that they don't like power metal and embrace it. The good stuff is good for a reason.

GoD, aflickering etc. i decided to check in and see how everybodys favourite metal board is doing. hi yoda.

I know, I was commenting on your sudden emergence from the unknown. Shit sucks here, of course.

Hmmmmm.... I didn't see much American style powermetal there like Armored Saint, Metal Church or even more modern dark/American style powermetal bands like Tad Morose etc.

I also don't think anyone has mentioned Running Wild. They wouldn't make my "greatest ever" list, but I am a bit surprised no one has brought them up.

That's because it generally sucks in comparison to European Power Metal. This is pretty good though:

considerably better than most of the crap mentioned here

 

[Einherjar86]

Indeed.

Well, that is certainly simply an opinion. While I don't typically like to categorize everything, it is a bit of a necessary evil at times. I think there are two discreet forms of power-metal (though certainly many bands also make the line quite fuzzy) and it just seems as though the dark powermetal wasn't given any choices. My vote is Tad Morose from Sweden.........



Very good song from Iced earth you imbedded btw........

 

[Bryant]

My apologies to my friend Psychonaut who already penned the Tad Morose video. I pretty much feel like a penis for missing that at first.

I always associated Running Wild more with speed metal than power metal, but definitely a great band.

 

[EspaDa]

Yes, Running Wild is a really great and listening-worthy band. Their stuff is solid.
