In my opinion, Rhapsody from the Turilli era and Luca Turilli don't have bad albums. Except for "The Cold Embrace Of Fear" I'll leave out the EPs, the live albums and singles, so I'll just focus on the full albums.
Top 5 tracks:
1.- Emerald Sword/On The Way To Ainor
2.- War of the Universe
3.- Dark Fate of Atlantis
4.- Arcanum (Da Vinci's Enigma)
5.- Gothic Vision

1.Rhapsody - Power Of The Dragonflame

2.Luca Turilli - Prophet Of The Last Eclipse

3.Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Ascending To Infinity

4.Turilli / Lione Rhapsody - Zero Gravity (Rebirth And Evolution)

5.Rhapsody Of Fire - From Chaos To Eternity

This is a list of all the power metal albums I have listened to that are worth remembering. Like my other genre lists, this is not meant to be a definitive guide to power metal or a binding judgment on what power metal is or is not. The list exists purely for my own organizational purposes and may contain bands or albums that are not strictly True Knights of the Eternal Thundersword.

The first cluster includes my favorite albums in the genre (and a significant number of my all-time favorites); beyond that, they are listed by rating from 9/10 down to 6/10 and alphabetically within each bracket.

One of source of entertainment in the couple of months since I've joined MS has been watching albums careen up and down the 2015 top 20. I thought it might be interesting to compile a list of every album that shows up on the 2016 top 20 list at any point during the year (modulo how often I'm actually able to observe the list) along with some statistics. Ranking on this list is ordered by peak rank, then last date at that rank, then end of year rank.

1.Insomnium - Winter's Gate

2.Trees Of Eternity - Hour Of The Nightingale

3.Aenaon - Hypnosophy

4.Dark Tranquillity - Atoma

5.Anaal Nathrakh - The Whole Of The Law

Welcome to my 2016 list. Most of you are aware how lists on MS work :- If the album appears at the top it's amazing (imo) and highly recommend you give it a listen... if it's featured at the bottom then I probably don't like it. If you have any recommendations for albums, feel free to leave a message in the comments section!!

1.Whispered - Metsutan - Songs Of The Void

2.Mesarthim - Pillars

3.Equilibrium - Armageddon

4.Omnium Gatherum - Grey Heavens

5.Twilight Force - Heroes Of Mighty Magic
