Power metal continues to impress me.

First Dragonforce, then Iced Earth, Then Blind Guardian, then Demons and Wizards, then Lord, then X Japan, The Rhapsody of Fire. Now Stratovarius.

Care to add to this list? Post me POWER!

Eisley is full of power.

Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio. You can't go wrong with the classics.

How 'bout neo-classical? That any good for you, or do you need lyrics?

If not, Jason Becker!Inconsistancy

Kamelot, Hammerfall, Dark Moor, and Sonata Artica are pretty much the best of the best in my opinion.

You should listen to more main stream pop and rock. I think you would really like Lady Gaga and Blue.

Falconer is worth a listen if you haven't heard of them already.

I heard Dragonforce can't perform their own music outside of a studio. Confirm? Deny?

You should listen to Abduction and Power of the Sun by Bruce Dickinson, I think they are great combinations of speed and heavy metal.

Sabaton. Power metal by war-buffs, for war-buffs.

Manowar, everybody needs more Manowar.

I love power metal and I've only heard of 2 of those bands. (dragonforce and rhapsody). Maybe I'll have to check those out. dkdk999

To be honest, I'd say Helloween, Gamma Ray and Blind Guardian are all the power metal that's truly awesome. Stuff like Judas Priest and Dio are brilliant too, but I consider them Heavy Metal.

Here's some Gamma Ray. Enjoy!

Well as someone who takes metal very, very seriously(because its serious buisness), I can't abide by how corny it is...

[spoiler] :P [/spoiler]

Lost Horizon is the only power metal band I still continue to listen to, along with Iced Earth. Look Highlander (The One) my son. Do it now.
