Oh, and another thing. I'm not particularly fond of generic power metal vocals. That's pretty much what killed Heavenly for me. Just checked out Dark Moor's latest. Got it for a buck on eBay. The vocals sort of ruins it a little. But we'll see when it arrives.
Fine then. Stop ordering Dark Moor, and get more Rainbow!
NOOB
Is Rainbow considered Power Metal?
They're not but still a huge inspiration for PMers.
Well, I knew that. I was just wondering how Rainbow could be a good recommendation in this thread.
Because Rainbow Rising is better than any PM album out there. And there wouldn't be PM without Rianbow Rising. That's why. Do your homework boy.
Hey, slow down here. I know they are essential and that they had a huge impact on the Metal scene. I also think "Rising" is a great album from beginning to end. But if we start mentioning Rainbow, then we could easily mention Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio, Saxon, Accept, Scorpions, Alice Cooper, and so on... you get my point? I just thought Rainbow was a bit "off" in this thread. They are hardly Power Metal, at all. None of those are.
Again, no Rainbow means no PM. And I would consider Accept to be power metal. Not the faggy euro power metal that is popular today and a few years ago, but real power metal.
