Okay. Pathfinder ripped me a new asshole, and was very different. It was pretty cool. Completely over the top lol.
I really really liked what Sabaton has. I've heard of them before. Wuthering Heights was cool. Thank you for exposing me to some new stuff!

What do you guys think is the earliest great Power Metal song that defined the genre? I'd vote for this one:

Anothewr great band I forgot to mention earlier is Bride Adorned. They only produced one album, but it took them over 4 years to make it because they used several different choirs and orchestras in the process, pure and undiluted art:

Orden Ogan sounds like they have really hit their stride with their new album. It sounds great so far, three songs in.
On an unrelated note, can anyone tell me why imbedded youtube videos are not showing up on my computer? I can see the square box, but no image of the song or band. Therefore, the interface to play the video is missing. Very strange.

Also, some early Edguy was good, but it's a pity they later sold out and became pop-rock though. Two great early songs:

I prefer to have guitars and keys both, with a lot of shredding solos. For example:
"Anthemic" choruses are good too:
And fuck you, I like flower metal:

!!! That's one of my favorite Power Metal songs of all time, I used to run that on replay back in the day. The powerful keyboards, the epic choirs, the stunning guitars, the downplayed drumming effect that worked so well to improve the atmospheric feel of it = pure win. In fact, that whole album is full of awesomeness, it's gotta one of the best I've ever listened to - a terrible pity their later albums could never even get near to its level of grandeur and epicness. Basically every song on that album is amazing, but here are some of my favorites:

One of my favorite songs off my favorite Blind Guardian album. What a masterpiece, it's scary to think how many times I've listened to that song. Here are some other songs I like off that great album:

I had no idea Europe were even metal, but that song does have a bit of a metal-ish vibe to it
