This is a powerful band. I have Batallions of Fear, Follow the Blind, Somewhere Far Beyond, Nightfall in Middle Earth, and A Night at the Opera. Of those, I like Somewhere... and Nightfall... the most.

My favorite thing about them is that Blind Guardian knows how to cut the crap and make a solid CD. Many bands like to have boring, 'filler' songs, but a CD like Nightfall or Somewehere far Beyond is solid and consistently good. Really, Blind Guardian has only one song I just don't like (Tommyknockers).
