Stratovarius is a veteran band of their genre. They have many good songs. I hesitate to choose among Before The Winter, Forever, Coming Home. In the end, I pick Coming Home out. The guitar of Coming Home in particular and the melody in general is too mellow, catchy and easy to captivate, and its lyric also is beautiful. Anyways I want to know your best song of Stratovarius, its not must be only 1, can be 2 or 3, I mean the songs which you are into most of Stratovarius

Well I never realy had liked this band so much but i like first 3 albums what wa sdiferent, it was 80ties heavy metal whit power elements
From old Stratovarius
It wa sinfluenced ffrom Iron maiden, Black Sabbath lil bit simmilar soudn how early Taort

From 'Fright Night'' I like
Timo Tolkki on vocals

Good song are ''Fright Night'' and instrumental ''Fire Dance''
From secend album Stratovarius II I like ''Madness Strikes at Midnight'' and ''The Hills has Eyes'' and from 3th ''Dreamspace'' this song ''Wings of Tomorrow''

But in Kotipelto time only one song I like ''Against The Wind'' in tyem official MySpace are this video
Realy good song, ist all what I like from this band so early Stratovarius waas the best

Well, several songs come to my mind immediately. Coming Home is a wonderful ballad, and it's also the song that brought me to metal. Kiss of Judas is great - actually, most of 'Visions' is: Paradise, Legions, the title track... Another favourite of mine is Fantasia from Elements Part I, awesome symphonic piece. Against the Wind and the classic Hunting High and Low are also songs I like well.

"The kiss of Judas" is my favorite one, but there are lots of excellent songs: "Falling into fantasy", "Speed of light", "Dreamspace", "S.O.S.", and many more...

I have so many favourites. I like the build-up nature of 'Kiss Of Judas' and it has some great guitar parts but one of the most underrated Strat songs is from the also underrated Episode album, 'Eternity'. Those vocals sound so emotional and so volatile. Good work Kotipelto!

I would firstly like to say that STRATOVARIUS ARE MY FAVOURITE BAND OF ALL TIME!!!

.....though i don't like their early stuff (Tolkki's voice ruins it), They have soooo many great songs which inspire me and encourage me to hold my head up high. Their song lyrics are like my bible. Tolkki is a fucking Demigod when it comes to guitarring

But wow though they have many good songs, the one i like most is without a doubt, "Speed Of Light"!!!

then after that, i like "Liberty", "No Turning Back", "Find Your Own Voice", "Hunting High And Low".....damn what a great band.

just gonna drop a post cuz i aint got much time. Father Time has to be my favorite by stratovarius.

Visions !! its my fav song from them cuz have to many changes and a lot of melody , but there are better songs cuz Visions its cool but if you want a fast song u have Speed of ligth ho its a killer one, and if u want a slow one u have Forever and also have a instrumental so there are a lot of songs for every taste

MM...speed of light, against the wind, twilight symphony, phoenix, and I side with K7, the first three albums are just awesome altogether and are actually pretty heavy.

My favourite songs of Stratovarius ? Many, many. But I can list some : Destiny, Forever, SOS, Coming Home, Mother Gaia, Black Diamond, Paradise, Against The Wind, Father Time....

I cant say a favourite but here are my top5:
-4th Reich
-Anthem of The World
-Forever
-Tears Of Ice
-Black Diamond

My favourite would have to be "A Million Light Years Away". The song has awesome riffs, very strong chorus and a killer solo. The same would have to go for "Abyss of Your Eye" and "Hunting High and Low" Stratovarius are absolute masters at what they do.

I could say I love Stratovarius but it will sound gay so I will write down the songs
Black Diamond, Forever , Speed of Light , SOS , Paradise and many more

Against The Wind i like a lot of stratovarius but thats my favorite the keyboard and guitar solo is perfect and the chorus are so catchy

@Grimrocker: I've been listening to "Father Time" alot recently too

Where have all the years gone? That's what I am asking now. What have I learned so far? Tell me Father Time. Tell me now.....

well i say legions,coming home,Speed of Light,Black Diamond , dam they are a lot
but if i have to say just 1 i dont know

Fuckkk and at the moment I am in love with their song, "Coming Home" ! One of the best power ballads ever written!

even though i think their older stuff is better, i have always been partial to "Falling into Fantasy". the mood is peaceful, but the chorus seems to yank at my emotions. i get really vivid imagery as well about where my soul goes after i die. in saying that, i think this would be a great song to play at my funeral

They are the best ballad writers in the metal area.I have lots of nominess for the best.Coming Home,Forever,Before the Winter or When The Night Meets the Day.And if we are talking about energetic songs i can say Black Diamond,Paradise,cover of I Surrender and bla bla...
Forget about all.......all songs of them awesome.This is my best answer.

There are so many great Stratovarius songs, since I have to choose only one I will go for Paradise, that is real awesome song, full of melodies and energy, and I like the lyrics too. But there are so many other songs... Will The Sun Rise, Speed Of Light, Fahter Time, Distant Skies... God, they are so awesome

@Darksun - They have great ballads, my favorite is Season Of Change, really like that ballad...

My favorite tracks is 'Hunting High And Low' but they have made so many great tracks

I think that visions is the best album by stratovarius!so I choose a song from there!!
I don't know if choose paradise or black diamond.... both them are great!!!

Find your own voice, deffinitely. It has a lot of power and energy, and the lyrics have a really cool message.

the for me is Destiny but i like all stratovarius songs but the bests are destiny and it's a mystery..
STRATOVARIUS is the best band ever no matter what people will say

Hunting High & Low is my favorite.
Stratovarius are awesome, but iv always considered them to be one of those bands that makes three or four exceptional song on an album while the rest are just ok.

Destiny and 4000 Rainy Nights...they are both awesome (but i had to confess i hadn't heard all yet)

I would go for Before The Winter it has some bad memories R.I.P George!

Black Diamond I guess....

Black Diamond and Hunting High and Low

also Twilight Symphony is great i like season of change and Mother gaia a lot too
