What is the best song of Blind Guardian for you?
Original post

EDIT:
Well, MetalStorm have said me that i have to provide more information in the opening post, so i will do it below:
Well, i have tried to make a list with a mix of objectivity and my personal tastes about Blind Guardian, so you can find songs that are my favorites from a particular album, and others that not. Besides this, also i have tried to include a song of each album, but finally i had to leave out "A Twist In The Myth" and "At The Edge Of Time" because i really have not felt that there is a highlighted song or near to the classic (for the moment =) ):
Majesty: Well, it is a great classic that i thought it was correct to put it.
Valhalla: The same that Majesty.
Traveller In Time: Well here, i had to put the best song from this album in my opinion, together with "Welcome To Dying" and "Lost In The Twilight Hall". What is the classic here? Maybe "Lord Of The Rings"? perhaps "Welcome To Dying"?
The Bard's Song - In The Forest: I prefer other songs from this album than this one, but in this case i had to put the great classic.
Another Holy War: Hard to pick one in this album, so i chose my favorite song.
Mirror Mirror: My favorite song from this album and also the great classic =).
Battlefield: My favorite song from Blind Guardian, together with "Mirror Mirror".
And Then There Was Silence: The masterpiece, (but still i prefer "The Soulforged" from this album).

I think bard song's good, but I like sacred worlds in the latest album much more. it's a mixture of mysterious songs and power metal!

I couldn't possibly choose only one! I could only say that the newest additions to the some of best liked songs are "Skalds and Shadows" and "Curse My Name". But I do not consider them to be better then others. As a matter of fact, I recently "picked up" some of the older songs and I listen to them right now.  They are, after all, one of my favourite bends ever! 
---- "We gladden the raven"

Not a big fan of the band, but have listened to a fistful of their albums... "When Sorrow Sang" has pretty much been my fave song of theirs. love the intensity, particularly given the ebb and flow of the album. it follows up a sad death piece and interlude like an angered friend wanting revenge and riding into battle.

Its a tough choice but I have to go with "And There was Silence." Everything about that song just feels right, the Bohemia Rhapsody-ish layered vocals, the fast paced guitars and drumming, and the more mellow parts.

Great band, saw them live recently, And Then There Was Silence was my vote, I'm surprised they played it live, it was an epic orgasm all over Edit: Reading my post reminds me of "run-on sentences" I was taught about in school lmao XD

I voted for And then there was silence, but I also like very much Battelfield , it makes me want to ride a horse into battle with a sword in my hands and cut some heads off.

Theatre of Pain, Bright Eyes, Into the Storm. Sadly, the new ones haven't been the same jaw dropping level as the early albums.

Blind Guardian has a ton of awesome songs, but I would have to say that i prefer 'And Then There Was Silence'. It is an excellent combination of music and lyrics about an epic war, and serves to cap off a very good album.

Probably "Welcome To Dying"

No song of theirs managed to get me hooked into them other than "Wheel Of Time".I just adore it to be honest. Of that list though I picked And Then There Was Silence.

I'm a big fan of symphonic metal (with orchestra) so I'm contemplating between Sacred Worlds or Wheels of Time.

Written by Vikcen on 30.01.2011 at 01:31 Agreed. But if we're talking about live concerts, nothing beats "Bard's Song", it's very epic!

My favorite is the song "Nightfall." It might have my favorite vocal arrangements in a song ever.

Written by Empyror on 06.02.2011 at 02:19 I will never understand why so many BG fans have this song in high esteem. Imo, this song sucks and vocals are among the most annoying Hansi ever recorded.
