I agree. Power-Metal can be monotonous but the great bands make it a wonderful thing. However, since when have the bands you mentioned ever been power metal??? Power-Metal is characteristic of very heavy distortion, double bass, very groove oriented metal with the melody (if there is any) provided by the vocalist or cookie monster impersonator. Pantera, Diecast, Diesel Machine, Machinehead, are without a doubt Power-Metal. Kamelot, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Rhapsody, Angra, and Symphony-X are all awe inspiring bands that kick ass. Yet, to call them "power metal" is a stretch. Almost like calling Poison "thrash metal".
