Damn all those songs are so awesome I will have to wait a bit before I vote, the only one I can rule out now is the Stratovarius one. |

Helloween - Mr. Torture
Just have to go with this one.
At the time when Helloween wasn't writing anything good this song stood out so much |

This is unfair. You've got two tracks I voted both for in seperate polls in the SAME poll? How can I choose between them? They are BOTH my favs! ARRGH! |

While Helloween is clearly my favourite power metal band, hell they're near my favourite band of all after Maiden and Beatles, I just had to go with Sonata Arctica - The Cage. When I heard it live at Wacken 2003 I instantly fell in love and the love hasn't faded the slightest bit. The dream is alive. |

Its hard when your two favorite songs are in the same damn poll but while both got seperate votes in seperate polls they cannot compete against each other so I'm gonna have to put Iced Earth ahead of Kamelot in this one. 10,000 strong it is, plus the video rocks! |

Feature poll Thorbear? That is an cool idea. How about one for different genres too not just Power Metal? That could be awesome and could draw the spotlight on some interesting entries |

Absolutely - I just chose power metal because it's one of my favourite genres and I love the epic anthems. It's been good fun for me listening to all the (or nearly all) 64 songs one YouTube and linking to them here. It would be awesome if someone else wanted to do it for other genres.

As I have stated before, a near impossible task, but I have to pick The Cage by a small margin. |

Kamelot - Forever. That song is the core and essence of Power Metal to me. It has all the clichés of the genre but without actually being cliché. The chorus could be the best ever. |

The Cage is just a little better than Mr. Torture... (maybe he has one in his cellar of pain...??) |

No brainer for me. I'm not much of a power metal fan, but I do think Kamelot is a great band, and Forever is one of their very best songs! |

That's because they nicked it off Greig but I think it's my favourite of those listed here.
