[Kilgore Cod]

I worship Blind Guardian.

I don't care for Dragonforce. They sound too fake, especially after watching several videos of them failing to play their own material properly live.

Sonata Arctic is wayyy too limp-wristed for my tastes.

off the top of my head, Power Metal bands I like:

Lost Horizon
The Dogma
Gamma Ray
Helloween (up to Keepers II only)
Kamelot
Iced Earth
Hibria
Nevermore
