Question

Welcome to the Majestic Power Metal Tournament!

I've changed this part a little bit. Before I listed as many albums as I could, but this time I've only included 16. Hopefully it will easier and consume less time.You know the drill, Pick your 8 favorite, or at least the 8 you think are the best and the albums that show up the most make it to Part 2!


And remember guys, nothing like this will be included:

Albums:

Underworld- Adagio
Days of Rising Doom- Aina
Captain Morgan's Revenge- Alestorm
Temple of Shadows- Angra
The Black Halo- Kamelot
The Metal Opera- Avantasia
Tales From The Twilight World- Blind Guardian
Follow the Reaper- Children of Bodom
In the Night- Dream Evil
Theater of Salvation- Edguy
Keeper of the Seven Keys Pt: 2- Helloween
Land of the Free- Gamma Ray
Glory to the Brave- Hammerfall
A Distant Thunder- Helstar
The Divine Wings of Tragedy- Symphony X
Horror Show- Iced Earth


Also, this time, you can also list your own 8 albums instead of any of these, but no repeats by a single artist please. And try not to get too obscure, I want to keep it fairly mainstream so the albums will be easier to identify by the majority. I just hope some of you pick the same albums!!!



And remember to make sure it's Power Metal or I'll have to do this

Answer 1

I'll go with my own 8, even though I expect few if any to survive

(When you said no repeats, not sure if you meant for us not to list the same artist twice, not to list an artist you already did, or both, but sorry, IMO, The Wicked Symphony is WAY better than the Metal Opera. But, if you need that changed, just tell me.)
