Due to my love for power metal recently being rekindled I thought I'd make a list of my all time favorite power metal albums. Some of those mentioned here are crossing over into different musical directions, but I still consider them to be mainly or at least to some extent power metal.
Also I'll limit myself to only one album per band.
The layout will be band/album/favorite song from the album

1.Crimson Glory - Transcendence

2.Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian

3.Blind Guardian - A Night At The Opera

4.Lethal - Programmed

5.Sanctuary - Refuge Denied

If you were ever following my 2017 list in the beginning of the year and are wondering what happened to that one: well, basically MS deleted it itself. More like half of it. When I was in the mark of 120 albums or so and were updating the stuff, that bug which sometimes happens where some of the albums get cut from the preview happened... And I didn't see it. And I clicked on the submit button... So in the end only the first 50 albums of my original list were now showing and THE REST GOT ALL FUCKING DELETED, so yeah... I got pissed. And deleted the whole thing.

2.AdyS - Pretending

3.Ame To Kanmuri - Nou

4.Ayame - Lumiere Ambree

5.Bathsheba - Servus

In 2017 I didn't really check out enough new albums to warrant an end-of-year list (that I'd end up deleting anyhow.) However, I did go to a fair amount of gigs so I decided to list the best of them instead.

2.Briqueville - @ De Casino, Sint-Niklaas

3.Primordial - @ Het Bos, Antwerpen

4.Oathbreaker - @ 'T Plein, Sint-Niklaas

5.Devin Townsend Project - @ Trix, Antwerpen

1.Ne Obliviscaris - Urn

2.Kreator - Gods Of Violence

3.Voyager - Ghost Mile

4.Kardashev - The Almanac

5.Pain Of Salvation - In The Passing Light Of Day

A list ranking the Iced Earth studio recordings. I didn't put Tribute To The Gods in the list because I wanted the list to be about Iced Earth's own original work.

Also Days Of Purgatory is also not added to the list since that album was mostly a re-recording of their older songs.

And I added the 3 best songs (imo) of every album in the list as well.

1.Iced Earth - The Dark Saga

2.Iced Earth - Night Of The Stormrider

3.Iced Earth - Burnt Offerings

4.Iced Earth - Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked - Part 1)

5.Iced Earth - Horror Show
