These ten picks are sorted in alphabetical order by artist… hey look it was hard enough getting my list down to ten, don’t make me rank them. ![]() ![]() But I like the number ten for lists, its easy to focus on for a reader, and for myself it forces me to make hard cuts and think about what I really have to include. Of course we’re starting with power metal, because over the years I’ve written about my love for it likely more than anything else on this blog, and whittling what I love about this subgenre down to ten albums was not easy. In other words, its by no means an attempt at an objective-ish list, but more a personal reflection of my own experience as a fan of this music. I’m presenting my picks for the ten essential albums that I feel best exemplify everything that I love about a certain subgenre. So to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this site, I’m finally (finally!) launching this in the form of The Metal Pigeon Essential Ten. One of those ideas was to talk about my ults (to borrow a K-Pop term) - you know, my favorite records in this genre, that genre, of all time, you get the point. ![]() Ten years ago, when I first started this blog, I had a boatload of ideas that I wanted to eventually get to after I had accumulated a decent amount of articles on the site, and found my writing voice so to speak.
