Power Metal has the whole pack. Listening to one album of Power Metal you can feel free , relaxed , happy , sad , and so many more states of mind. If you put it all together listening to Power Metal makes you human. (I only used English language albums and I know some of the albums are not completely Power Metal but all of them have some Power Metal elements . If I could I would have added more albums but my head is spinning right now). So Power up everybody!!!

1. Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II

2. Blind Guardian - Imaginations From the Other Side

My "Final Selection" for 2010. Top 10 in order. The Rest for A-Z.
As a big fan of Power and Folk metal, this year was quiet good. The return of Rhapsody, new actors as Ancient Bards, Sinbreed, great comeback - Accept, Masterplan with Jorn, long awaited albums - Orphaned Land, Blind Guardian and Alcest. Some discoveries - Finsterforst, Skiltron, Pretty Maids (shame on me)and Orden Ogan. Some unexpected suprises Black Majesty, Iron Fire. Not to say that many bands didnt disappoint me with their new album - Derdian, Freedom Call, Eluvetie, Galneyrus, Wuthering Heights. Good year, a little bit above the average

2010; an oddity of a year with lots of great releases from obscure and relatively unheard of bands, while at the same time some horrendous, shameful duds released by many household names. Could things get any more topsy turvy?

1. Illidiance - Damage Theory

2. Radiance (FIN) - The Burning Sun

3. Amogh Symphony - The Quantum Hack Code

4. Allegaeon - Fragments Of Form And Function
