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

3. Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I

4. Riot - ThunderSteel

5. Gamma Ray - Land of the Free
