Stratovarius

Strato earns it's place here too! Together with Tarot one of the first ones to try to conquer the world!

Yeah, Strato had a great run too. Their influence really helped bands like Nightwish and Sonata Arctica give them the start and inspiration. They really do deserve more honor too.

They really do!

Plus Strato owns one of the best live recordings ever, to my opinion:

Stratovarius for sure was one of the greatest in their own genre and they have left their mark on Melodic and Power Metal forever.

Love this song Paradise plus a few others and I know Tarja is a big fan as ive seen her wear a shirt with their logo

Agreed!

one of the few power metal bands that i like... great voice and great musicians!

Oh yeah, they're great.

My father show me this band, they're great!!

I love Paradise!

From their last album I love "When mountains fall", a sad song, but really beautiful

"When the mountains fall and the oceaaaan flooood, I'm stiiiiiill iiiin seaaarch ooof youuu..."
This one's so beautiful, yeah! Winter Skies, too.

Have you listened their last album?

I really like it, specially songs like Fantasy

On April I will travel to see them in live, 6 hours of travel by train but I can wait for it!
I love this band when I'm in my "happy mode" and when I'm on the gym

I have Under Flaming Winter Skies - Live in Tampere in my music library...Great concert....
