I had to delete the other topic because I forgot many important albums that most be put such as: a flame to the ground beneath of lost horizon, the metal opera pt I of Avantasia, power of the dragonflame of rhapsody of fire (for me they're still being rhapsody) and once from nightwish.
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.
Don't forget to explain your choose and if the album that you consider the best is not in the list say it but please vote for one of the list thats the reason why I didn't put other in this new poll.
Now enjoy and fight for your opinion!

DragonForce are one of the most innovative Power Metal bands
today, but I prefer the older, more classical Power bands like
Blind Guardian, Helloween or Gamma Ray... It's a pity that the
2002 Blind Guardian album "A Night at the Opera" is not inclu-
ded in this list...

For me its a close one between DragonForce-Sonic Firestorm and Sonata Arctica-Silence. I had to vote for Sonic Firestorm though because Sam and Herman are simply two of the most brilliant guitar players I've ever seen or heard.

I voted for Avantasia's Metal Opera but don't like any album from this list much. Avantasia released two good albums since 2000 and I think that Metal Opera pt2 is much better than the first one. There are few really grat songs on Metal Opera: Breaking Away, The Glory Of Rome, The Sign Of the Cross... Production on this album is very good, for the debut of cause. Arrangments are also very good, and this album have all charachteristics for good power metal release...
My really favorites are: one and only Gamma ray's No World Order, one of the best power metal albums ever, Manowar also released Warriors Of The World in 2001, also Dream Evil have four great album since 2000. Grave Digger released several masterpieces too...

Eternal Flames

It was pretty equal between Lost Horizon's A Flame To The Ground beneath and Sonata Arctica's Silence, although my vote went to Lost Horizon in the end. For me, that album was perfect in every way. The vocals are outstanding, and having been the first Lost Horizon album that I actually heard I found it very original and quite different from the ordinary cheesy power metal. It's very uplifting and the vocals as mentioned, express so much emotion. It's a shame that Heiman left the band though.

Out of those, Rhapsody's Power of the Dragonflame. A Flame to the ground beneath being second.

No. I think Epica is the best Kamelot´s album, and one of the best since 2000, but i voted for Rhapsody´s Power of the Dragonflame. There are great songs like Knightrider of Doom and The Pride of the Tyrant.

Avantasia is just amazing. One of the best projects ever. I really enjoy both of the albums, so my vote is obvious. I'm looking forward to the new Avantasia record.

I had to vote for Avantasia. I mean not only was it an absolutely EPIC production (which we like in Power Metal), but it had some of my personal favorite singers. Tobias Sammet obviously, but this was Michael Kiske's return to metal after his weird behavior.
