Best Power metal artist of all time
Nato ad inizio anni '80 in crucconia (il power americano è molto diverso da quello europeo) il primo power metal non era fatto da trombette e cori da stadio come molti di voi penseranno, ma al contrario potente ed incazzoso. Power. I Running Wild in quest'ottica sono una band assolutamente riconducibile agli albori del genere. Solo poi si è melodicizzato con l'uscita dei 2 Keeper of The Seven Keys che ha aperto una nuova via prolifica cui è seguita la morte con ignobili copie carbone. Se in questa classifica non troverete Rhapsody de foco, Stratovarius, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Dragonforce ecc. non è per dimenticanza ma perchè dal 1997 in poi a mio modesto parere al di fuori di Kamelot e Edguy non c'è stato un gruppo capace di produrre un cd degno del genere più ingiustamente bistrattato del metal che qualcosa di interessante lo ha pure regalato. Anche se è più facile e figo dire il contrario senza cognizione.

    I might even agree, in fact the top 3 are neck and neck. I love Gamma Ray: phenomenal live to the point that I saw them even the day before my thesis defense. The first 4 albums are fabulous and Land Of The Free is the best album in the genre, no ifs or buts. Hansen founded Helloween, but in terms of historical significance, it's the Pumpkins with those three consecutive albums that, in my opinion, deserve the top spot. And to be fair, with huge crap like Pink Bubble Go Apes, Rabbit Don't Come Easy, and Keeper Of The Seven Keys III, they have often managed to bounce back even in the recent past with more than decent works like The Dark Ride, Better Than Raw, and even the latest Gambling With The Devil.

    Great ranking, especially considering the absence of Rhapsody. Personally, I would have placed Rage a bit lower and Angra a bit higher, but it’s just a matter of taste.

    I fully agree with the top 2 positions. Well done.

    I saw it in the Aqua stores and honestly, I preferred to take the last Kamelot. I don’t regret it and I recommend it to you. Listening to some songs on YouTube from the new Angra feels like a little less. An not-so-successful copy of Temple of Shadows, although a full judgment would require listening to the CD entirely a few times at a relaxed pace.

    @gate. I don't know what you're referring to, but no problem. In the comments, just don't curse at me: I can handle up to testa di cazzo, coglione, paraculo, stronzo with ease.

    Unfortunately, there's no thumbs up for the leaderboard comments, but you would have taken it. :)

    @fedezan. As I wrote in the introduction, I haven't covered the USA power scene. It has a different sound from the European one, and I don't know it well enough to rank it. That doesn't change the fact that they are a great band. @gate. And for this bullshit, you ask me to apologize? :) Damn, I thought you had insulted me heavily! Bye

    The Angra, however, are infiltrators. :) Anyway, they fit in quite well; Holy Land is a masterpiece for me.
