I'm gonna have to listen to a LOT more of these to say for sure, but for now, probably Iron Savior! Love their sci fi lyrics and vocals, and the incredibly melodic instrumentation! SO CATCHY!!

I went with Gamma Ray, mainly because they're one the bands that got me into Power Metal.

Ι would add Brainstorm to the list. Some great albums with character.
The best german power metal bands for me are Helloween, Gamma Ray, Blind Guardian and Running Wild, followed by Rage. Helloween 1985-1988 are one of my favorite bands. Gamma Ray 1990-1995 (plus up to 2004 I would say) are also one of my favorite bands (so, I usually say "Kai Hansen, when asked about my favorite bands). I think their 4 Ralf Scheepers albums are monumental, very original and very different. Land of the Free is the true Keeper of the Seven Keys part III. Nuff' said. Blind Guardian 1988 - 2001 (emphasis 1990-1998) are one of my favorite bands. Running Wild 1987-1998 are one of my favorite bands and I find that they are getting increasingly underrated, people forget that they have a long streak of incredible songs, among the finest in the entire metal genre, we are talking Iron Maiden, King Diamond numbers and quality standards. Rock n' Rolf is an extremely underrated songwriter. Of course he has himself to blame for that... I could vote for any of the four but I went for Gamma Ray, since they were my favorite band for a while.

^ Angel Dust is pretty great band, but it's not a simple power metal band,it's a lot more, maybe this is why they are interesting.

I'm not big on Power Metal but I do like early Helloween and the first two Iced Earth.

Not exactly a genre I´m an Expert in or typically enjoy much, so I´ll have to go with Helloween because of their early output, which I find superb. Blind Guardian comes in as a close second for their mid-period releases (90s releases).

I'll have to think about it, but for me it's probably a tie between Helloween and Gamma Ray.

This is a tough one for me. I might need to come back to it later, It's basically down to four bands: Blind Guardian, Freedom Call, Orden Ogan and Powerwolf. I've obviously been listening to the first of those for the longest time out of the four, but the other three have all given me some of my favorite albums of the last few years, so it's a hard choice.

German power metal bands. Pick your favourite...but of course, I someone didn't include your favourite for which I am sorry, pick the Other option and then tell us why they're so great. Hopefully though I didn't miss any of the scene's major acts.
For me I love a lot of these bands, but the one I have to vote for will always have to be Blind Guardian, my favourite band.
