Good choice, buddy. Blind Guardian made some of the seminal Power Metal songs up to 1998. If you want to hear more seminal Power Metal then go for Helloween's 'Keeper of the Seven Keys' albums.
2006's A Twist in the Myth is my favorite Blind Guardian album, alongside the debut.Pretty strong set of songs and I look forward to seeing where they go from here.
Ah, I saw that but didn't feel like including it in the listen. I'll check it out either in the next listen or by itself something in future.Regarding the ending, there's actually a bonus instrumental track called "Gandalf's Rebirth" that, in my opinion, ends the album on a much higher note.
I've heard some of the "important" songs from them and I used to quite like them, but they don't really jive with me anymore. I'll mark them down but it'll be a while before I get to them. Right now my plan is to do a revolving discography listen of Iced Earth - Savatage - Bolt Thrower - Blind Guardian. Fun in store? Maybe.If you want to hear more seminal Power Metal then go for Helloween's 'Keeper of the Seven Keys' albums.
You gotta get those Dirt rankings way up.Since I've gone through 20 albums now, I thought I'd throw them into a Topsters chart. This is how they're currently ranked for me:

Again, four amazing songs, one great one, and the rest is solid to bland. Sorry.You gotta get those Dirt rankings way up.

ICED EARTH - NIGHT OF THE STORMRIDER
Yeah, I don’t usually listen to a lot of live albums, but I’ll give that one a go and see how it is.If you plan on listening to Alive in Athens, you're in for a treat.
This is one of my favourite death metal albums. It's unlike anything else (even the other BT albums), especially sound-wise. That bassBOLT THROWER - REALM OF CHAOS
Slaves To Darkness
I'd recommend Alive in Athens over the first three albums, anyway. All the essential tracks are on AIA and they are significantly better. Dark Saga and Something Wicked are fantastic. Horror Show remains my favourite IE album.
Hiphop
Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
GZA - Liquid Swords
Method Man - Tical
A Tribe Called Quest - People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm
Heard it more than once. Great album. Thanks for the rest.Pearl Jam - Ten Just listen to it. You must.
No love for West Coast? Dr. DRE's "2001" maybe?
Murder, murder, mermaid, murder.Dethklok - Dethalbum Same as previous one. Start to finish.
I suspected somebody else is going to mention The Chronic, that's why I went wit 2001. And it's more familiar to me.If you’re going to go with Dre it has to be The Chronic.
