Ah finally, it took some time to get through them all. As you can see I consider most of ARP albums to be quite equal in quality, usually it's as little as 1 songs that makes the difference. I was quite suprised actually how much I enjoyed his discography overall, I was pretty familiar with all the albums up to Mystica but after that I lost my interest, as it seems most of the albums released after is just as much fun as the other ones.

If you are unfamiliar with ARP my recommendation is that you start with a live album by them, those are always good fun and if you like it then check out the studio albums.

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.
