Power metal used to be very different. There was a time when it referred to things like Jag Panzer's Ample Destruction and as Trash brought up, Manowar (who aren't nearly as homo as most of the bands I see listed, their first 4 albums are untouchable), when the music was supposed to be powerful and not just guitar wankery and with a wailing douche trying to imitate Bruce Dickinson.
I honestly despise most bands that call themselves power metal at this point, it's just another buzz word now.
And I do like Helloween and Ramma Gay.
