    "Somewhere far beyond" and "Nightfall in Middle Earth" are two of the absolute best albums ever made.
    Blind guardian is my fav Power Metal band along with Rhapsody of fire

    Cool list! Here's mine
    1. Imaginations from the other side
    2. Nightfall in middle-earth
    3. Somewhere Far beyond
    4. Tales from the twilight world
    5. At the edge of time
    6. Beyond the red mirror
    7. Follow the blind
    8. Batallions of Fear
    9. A twist in the myth
    10. A night at the opera
    I don't dislike any of them, but the last two didn't really do it for me, although they have a handful of amazing songs.

    9) Beyond the Red Mirror
    10) Battalions of Fear
    Imaginations is without a doubt a perfect album, not a single bad song on the list. I think At the Edge of Time is very close to perfect actually, even the demo versions of the songs are great to listen to, but I just couldn't get into War of the Thrones. It's a similar story with Nightfall, loved everything except the interludes and Into the Storm.

    Love this list! Though I'd probably like any possible list, all the albums are pretty much likeable and quality does not differ much.
    Mine would be, for now anyway:
    10 - Beyond the Red Mirror (only album I do not enjoy as much as others, still don't understand why probably the lyrics and production)
    09 - Follow the Blind
    08 - A Twist in the Myth
    07 - Battalions of Fear
    06 - Tales From the Twilight World
    05 - At the Edge of Time
    04 - A Night at the Opera
    03 - Nightfall in Middle Earth
    02 - Somewhere Far Beyond
    01 - Imaginations From The Other Side (doubt my number 1 pick will change, so much sentimental value and nostalgia on top of awesomeness)
    Legacy of the Dark Lands seems interesting but not listened enough yet.

    Sacred Worlds got me into Blind Guardian unknowingly, it is the title theme for the RPG Sacred 2: Fallen Angel which i played when i was like 9 years old and i loved it, a few years later i began listening to BG purposefully and i found Sacred Worlds again and from then onwards "yeah this is your favourite band from now on until forever."

    A Twist in the Myth
    is a bit underrated by many, it's by no means a bad album at all - just some average-ish songs weighing it down, but it has some real classics. Otherland is in my top 10 BG songs. Oh - and it's got the best of all their album covers!

    • @sirspookybones1118

      A Twist In The Myth has “The New Order” on it which is my third favorite Blind Guardian song, so it deserves major points for that alone. Also “Another Stranger Me” was the song that got me into the band in the first place so definitely some sentimental value right there.

  • @spritefroggy
    @spritefroggy 2 роки тому +2

    Hard list to make, but here it is.
    1: Somewhere Far Beyond. Has an incredibly dark, forboding atmosphere with a light shining through that offers hope. Easily the most atmospheric of their albums.
    2: Batallions of Fear.
    3: Imaginations From the Other Side
    4: Follow the Blind
    5: Nightfall in Middle Earth. This is the album that got me into Blind Guardian, but I find it doesn't sit well for 'casual' listenings.
    6: Tales From the Twilight World.
    7: Beyond the Red Mirror
    8: A Night at the Opera
    9: A Twist in the Myth
    10: At the Edge of Time

      Millennial kids and newbies hipsters try to dismiss them as not sophisticated and progressive enough for their "superior" intellectual, so they are wired to hate the first 2.They can't feel the 1980s metal feeling enough and get their greatness.. Brainwashed tools if you ask me.The first and third are my favorites, afterwards the fourth,second, fifth.Of course, Blind Guardian were great from the start, from their demo days as Lucifer's Heritage.

    It's difficult to point a best band ever but when I have to, it's BG. Their discography has this wonderdul evolution filled with diversity while staying true to their sound. Yes, you can put any fucking song and, in 3 seconds, you'll know immediately which band is playing. They are unique and they just never made a boring album, every one of them is worth listening. Depending on the mood you are, there's a BG record for you.

    Imaginations From the Other Side is in my books the best power metal album in existence. Ranking them after that is actually pretty brutal but I would probably have the same top 3 as you, just a different order. Also, Beyond the Red Mirror has grown one me loads! I might prefer it over At the Edge of Time nowadays. Edge has stronger start and finish (Wheel of Time my fucking god) but Mirror has more going for it in between.

    the albums after Nightfall In Middle-Earth have taken so much hate by a lot of people...these people probably are more pissed off because the albums after Nightfall In Middle-Earth didn't have lyrical themes related to Tolkien, Lord Of The Rings, goblins, Middle-Earth and other stuff like that...that probably might have pissed them off and not so much the fact that BG maybe became less of a "speed metal" band and more of a "progressive" "operatic" metal band...
