A couple of close fights in this one, though. Still time for some comebacks!

Scorpions vs Iced Earth was a tough one for sure. I went with Scorpions because of Klaus but Barlow also slays on that IE track.
The Dissident
Ancient Mariner
In Trance is such a brilliant track it pained me to vote against A Question of Heaven as it is a monster track, but considering In Trance is easily one of my favourite Scorpions songs (And albums) there wasn't a chance to vote against it.

Stratovarius are classic power metal and a better band imo.
My Eternal Dream has a classic Strato sound though. Most likely yes, but I wouldn't call Deliverance a filler.
In Trance has some great amazing vocal lines, but Barlow's performance on A Question Of Heaven is everything a fan could ask for from the band and from a metal ballad. The song has a Metallica-esque vibe. No solo in a metal ballad!?
MindRuler
Ancient Mariner
A better band than Queensryche in their prime?
I beg to differ.
Kalata
Out of the Silent Planet
Each to their own, I guess it's a close call. Queensryche are a notable band in the metal world. Unique? Both have a similar sound in a way. Bigger band? Yes.

Well, one of the bands started out very slow, the other one has been going slowly for the past 30 years. 
Queensryche were arguably the top band of the genre around the release of Mindcrime and Empire, though.

I know nothing about Stratovarius except one important thing: they don’t have Tate.
