well i was listening to some of there stuff recently.........thought they sounded ok, until we came across them doing a Beach Boys cover......WTF!!!! the Beach Boys.........i have no problems with bands doing covers......but that was just awful......not sure if i want to listen to anymore of their stuff in case i come cross something worse.......

That's actually a nice song

But they're totally frickin' AWESOME, so take my advice: don't stop listening to them! That song came from a CD that wasn't exactly metal.

Right......heres request from the other half, Richie......he would like to know what would you all reccomend to listen to first?

What do you mean? Songs? Or whole albums? Except for Battalions of Fear, Follow the Blind, Tales from the Twilight World and The Forgotten Tales, they're all great to start with. Personally, I started with Nightfall in Middle-Earth. There are short interludes between almost all the songs, but the songs are great IMO. The more raw and speedy stuff can be found on the first three albums I mentioned, but they're nothing compared to Somewhere Far Beyond and Imaginations from the Other Side. Their last two albums, A Night at the Opera and A Twist in the Myth are more mid-tempo and have multi-layered vocal lines. But still I would recommend Nightfall... to start with.

And one tip: go for the remastered versions, except for the last two albums, all albums are remastered and contain some extra songs (sometimes only demos, but still).

Thanks for the reply, have told him so i think he will look on spotify for some.

You're welcome, and you won't regret it!

Album title and such revealed.

Mirror Mirror
The Script for My Requiem
Soulforged
Nightfall
Lord of the Rings

Yeah, I don't know what it is with Blind Guardian. They just have so many awesome songs, I could easily provide you with 2 or 3 more solid and awesome top five songs.

The voice of Hansi Kürsch it's too magic!! And their songs more than EPIC!!!
