For years, Alexis Laiho's talent obsessed me. Even after seeing him in flesh and bones, being 2 heads shorter than me, he was for me a giant. The last years were heartbreaking but when I think about COB, their coolness is eternal. I have never seen Laiho's other bands live but very much devoured any content I could find with his recognisable mark.

So here my ranking, everything I have incl. Lives and early work as Inearthed.

1.Children Of Bodom - Follow The Reaper

2.Children Of Bodom - Hate Crew Deathroll

3.Children Of Bodom - Hatebreeder

4.Children Of Bodom - Something Wild

5.Children Of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet?

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.
