Well as I said beefore my favourite album is temple of shadows of Angra for the creativity, the brasilian percussions, the latin feeling and the good ballads and speedy songs on it.

Nice thread  from the list I like Sonata Arctica, Rhapsody and Lost Horizon goddamn! I fvcking hate calling them rhapsody OF FIRE (such a gay name  ), but anyway lol, it's their album I'll vote for. It's the only one I own from the list too. Aw man and the closing track on that album is too epic to be true, it just leaves you wanting more!

For the sake of my sanity, I'll tell myself that you left A Night at the Opera and A Twist in the Myth off because we can just assume that Blind Guardian would win. Having convinced myself of this, I must echo Falconer and several others: what about Demons & Wizards? (If I had to choose one of the above, I'd probably go with Avantasia. Tobias Sammet does some pretty great stuff. The Scarecrow is good, but I still miss Unambiguously-Metal!Avantasia.)

Ooo. This maybe a controversial one. But I happen to love " Ultra Beatdown" by Dragonforce cause I love the melody and I love the guitar on it. Maybe that's just me. Or the "Art Of War" by Sabaton.

I prefer your Sabaton choice Ultra Beatdown is crap imo, especially compared to older albums by DF

Blind Guardian - A Night at the Opera Sabaton - Primo, Attero and War are all great Wild card is Demons & Wizards - Crimson King (I like TBtCK more than their debut).
---- Look, The old Bitch is back!

Whoa, what a list! No Helloween (The Dark Ride), no Sabaton (Primo Victoria, The Art of War - ok this one is post 2006), no Iced Earth (Horrow Show, The Glorious Burden), no Masterplan (!!! The first two albums)... I'll pick "Once" out of these for sure, with "Silence", "A Flame to the Ground Beneath" and "The Metal Opera pt. 1" trailing slightly behind.

I forgot to mention Ghost opera by Kamelot. And if your going through all power metal and it's sub genres i'd have to say Wintersun's debut.

Such poor choices. Kamelot - Epica. This is the power metal album of all time. Blind Guardian - A Night At the Opera Nightwish - Wishmaster Gamma Ray - No World Order Iced Earth - Horrow Show. Not bad either. Can't think of any other great power metal releases lately. None of the listed stuff comes close to these albums, particularly the first two.

I have to go with Angra, even though I like Symphony X, Dragonforce, Nightwish, and Rhapsody of Fire better as bands. Temple of Shadows is just a superb album though.

I voted for Silence but where's Renegade and Crimson Thunder? You put Sonic Firestorm in the list and not one of the above-mentioned albums?
---- {}::::::[]:::::::::::::::::> ONLY DEATH IS REAL <:::::::::::::::::[]::::::{} Rest In Peace: Bon Scott, Dave G. Halliday, Michael "Destructor" Wulf, Jerry Fogle, Quorthon, Witchhunter

My favorite is Blind Guardian's A Night At The Opera. A truly brilliant album with great performances all round and awesome songwriting. And Then There Was Silence is one of the most epic songs I've heard.

Out of those on offer, Temple Of Shadows, but even without other greats like A Night at the Opera by BG and The Premonition by Firewind, no Kamelot albums? The Black Halo is in my top 5-10 albums full stop, and Karma is pretty exceptional too. I do like Iced Earth's Horror Show too, and probably more albums I forget
