Power Metal has the whole pack. Listening to one album of Power Metal you can feel free , relaxed , happy , sad , and so many more states of mind. If you put it all together listening to Power Metal makes you human. (I only used English language albums and I know some of the albums are not completely Power Metal but all of them have some Power Metal elements . If I could I would have added more albums but my head is spinning right now). So Power up everybody!!!

1. Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II

2. Blind Guardian - Imaginations From the Other Side

3. Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I

4. Riot - ThunderSteel

5. Gamma Ray - Land of the Free

Here is my provisional favorite-metal-albums-of-all-time-list! Enjoy!
The first 10 albums are in pretty accurate order. However, after that, it becomes harder and harder to separate the albums clearly. Thus, you can say that I enjoy album x on the list as much as the others in the interval of (x-5) to (x+5). For example album 37 would be as much enjoyed as 32, 33, 34, ..., 42, or something like that.

1. Cult Of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway

2. Disillusion - Back To Times Of Splendor

3. Grand Alchemist - Intervening Coma-Celebration

4. Opeth - Blackwater Park

5. Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory

My "Final Selection" for 2010. Top 10 in order. The Rest for A-Z.
As a big fan of Power and Folk metal, this year was quiet good. The return of Rhapsody, new actors as Ancient Bards, Sinbreed, great comeback - Accept, Masterplan with Jorn, long awaited albums - Orphaned Land, Blind Guardian and Alcest. Some discoveries - Finsterforst, Skiltron, Pretty Maids (shame on me)and Orden Ogan. Some unexpected suprises Black Majesty, Iron Fire. Not to say that many bands didnt disappoint me with their new album - Derdian, Freedom Call, Eluvetie, Galneyrus, Wuthering Heights. Good year, a little bit above the average

2. Radiance (FIN) - The Burning Sun

3. Amogh Symphony - The Quantum Hack Code
