With the express exclusion of Na, Mg, K, Ca, Cr, Fe, Cu, W, Hg, etc.

EP, full-length albums, & single song picks from a Guy Who's Not Really into PM... Yeah, I should have put up Viron's cover art as the image but that Dokken single (theme song of Nightmare on Elm Street movie #3) just looks far more interesting. Whether or not that was a PM addition to a Hollywood soundtrack may be a point of relevance, but to me it's immaterial. Go listen to the music!

My personal preference of legendary albums by a legendary band. Blind Guardian is a band that in my opinion does not have a single bad album . The 90s were a creative high for Blind Guardian . This run continued into the new millennium with "A Night At The Opera" being a creative capstone on their gloried career.

1.Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera

2.Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth

3.Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side

4.Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond

5.Blind Guardian - A Twist In The Myth

Another list of another great band. Blind Guardian wasn't among my favourites in my teens even if I liked plenty of their songs, in later years I however have started to appreciate them much more.

So yeah, here's the list with some top picks. I have not included the orchestra album as I really don't know how to rate it compared to their other albums. Maybe i'll add it in the future.

1.Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera

2.Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond

3.Blind Guardian - Battalions Of Fear

4.Blind Guardian - Tales From The Twilight World

4.Pain Of Salvation - Remedy Lane

Due to my love for power metal recently being rekindled I thought I'd make a list of my all time favorite power metal albums. Some of those mentioned here are crossing over into different musical directions, but I still consider them to be mainly or at least to some extent power metal.
Also I'll limit myself to only one album per band.
The layout will be band/album/favorite song from the album

1.Crimson Glory - Transcendence

2.Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian

3.Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera

4.Lethal - Programmed

5.Sanctuary - Refuge Denied

1.Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden

2.Iron Maiden - Killers

3.Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast

4.Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind

5.Iron Maiden - Powerslave

My personal ranking of all the Blind Guardian studio albums. I think all of their albums in the 90's are absolutely fantastic and my favourite has switched around a few times because of this. For quite a few years it was Tales From The Twilight World, then it was Imaginations From The Other Side. I have to agree with my number 1 choice though. When it comes to the worst albums, I don't actually think they have any weak studio albums, but the debut isn't really impressive to me and while Follow The Blind was an improvement, it still lacks something when compared to the releases that would come after. I think A Twist In The Myth is somewhat underrated and I was highly disappointed with their 2015 release Beyond The Red Mirror

1.Blind Guardian - Nightfall In Middle-Earth

2.Blind Guardian - Imaginations From The Other Side

3.Blind Guardian - Tales From The Twilight World

4.Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond

5.Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera
