I've always thought that Dream Evil - The Book of Heavy Metal was pretty cliche, and didn't Rhapsody actually borrow Christopher Lee for one of their albums to voice a prophet of some sort?  Or Avantasia - The Tower, which had the lead singer doing a fucking dialogue with another character voiced by himself.  And loads of prophecy and gates and keys.

I don't think Dream Evil really count cos I'm pretty sure they're not actually being serious, (and to be a real snob they're technically trad metal, not power metal)... I'd nominate Rhapsody's entire discography. They're ridiculous, and completely irony free.

How about "most colourful paint"?

Also why has nobody mentioned Stratovarius.

Because of Rage, Johnny, and not against the machine.
