1. Iron Maiden - Somewhere In Time
2. Iron Maiden - Powerslave
3. Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
4. Iron Maiden - Piece Of Mind
5. Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden

I keep saying it's one of my least favorite metal genres, nevertheless I still managed to make a little list of the bands I enjoy listening to every once in a while.
1. Helloween - I don't think they need introduction
2. Stratovarius - a few uneven albums but overall solid band
3. Mob Rules - one of the most consistently good power metal bands
4. Masterplan - the albums with Jorn Lande only
5. Gamma Ray - Kai Hansen's band after leaving Helloween, like I needed to say that
