I feel like I'm missing out on some great albums being released so I figured I'd put this thread up. All you need to do is to list up your favourite Power Metal albums (top10 maybe) so I or anyone else have got some recommendations to what's good out there. If any moderator feels this thread is unnecessary then feel free to lock it.
(I don't really know how to use the search... :D )

Great lists guys. :)

My top 5 would probably be the best CDs from Nightwish and Kamelot, and both of Keldian's, but there's a more detailed list on my MCDR 'Profile':

I'm very surprised at the love A Night at the Opera is getting. I love the album, I just thought their other albums were considered much better.

I'd second:
Angra - Holy Land
Cage - Hell Destroyer
Sonata Arctica - Ecliptica (really their only album worth checking out)

Maybe Sabaton 'Primo Victoria' or 'Attero Dominatus'.
