For those of you that not know about this genre i can say go to wikipedia and chek it out...
To me its the ultimate combination of song, guitar, synth and drums.
even tho it sometimes has kinda simple melodies and not the worst solo´s i would say its the combination that sounds best (atleast i think so)
ANd no i am not one of those that just stick to one genre always. i like lots of styles (as long as its good =P)

I really like this kind of music, but it wasint until Deano interduced dragonforce to me that I started listening to it for real, I was really hooked by it and since I have been listening to it alot, I agree it has some great combo's, some of my favorite bands of the genre are these
I dig some personally, namely Edguy, who come off as a little TOO theatrical at times, but still. Their music makes me want to go out and ****ing conquer the world.
Oh i can say right now that i think its so good that sometime i get this "chill" on my back
sometimes i just forget what im doing while listening to some songs that when the song is over i kinda "what was im doing? ooh yeah..." this only happens when im at home and relaxing though.
I think this kind of metal has it's biggest flaw in it's concept. The idea of so-called power metal is to be epic, but epic songs usually don't try to be epic.
im interested in getting AVANTASIA: the metal opera 1 and 2. is it something you would recommend???.
because the truth is i love the powermetalstyle but i havent heard to many bands thats into it.
the bands ive heard is.
Sonata Arctica
Lost Horizon (some swedish band not very big 2 albums)
Nightwish
Freedom Call
Gamma Ray
Helloween
Kamelot
Blind Guardian(i had to research this and according to Wikipedia they are couted as powermetal altought they have a quite unique sound)
HAMMERFALL ( i like the style and some say its powermetal but i dont know)
i must say that i rank freedom call pretty high on my list. but since their sound is SO DRAMATIC with lots of synthsounds it tends to get a little to much when i listen to them for to long.
they have much inspiration from Gamma Ray or should i say very much inspiration. even though the songs dont sound the same its the whole style they have its like they just took it from Gamma Ray and Spiced it up and made som changes. Therefore i place Gamma Ray above them. (its that and they got Kai...i just love the red guitar he has. also they have been around for longer)
