The music is heavy, it's got all the great cheesiness that power metal is known for, and the lyrics are brutal and epic. 

 

Joakim is a huge history buff, so we do learn stuff in Sabaton's lyrics. I always enjoy them whenever I listen but the lack of variety in the song style leads to me to not go back to them for a while even though there's no denying the epic catchiness of their songs.

Definitely. But they deserve the success they have, and I can see why they are so big! I also really like Powerwolf who are massive in Europe, and they have many of the same issues

I'm in a power metal mood (to my ears it's all just heavy f***ing metal, but never mind):

 

Angra 

Blind Guardian 

Rhapsody Of Fire 

Masterplan

I don't buy that much music anymore.  But since Mike Portnoy and Rufus Taylor actually gave me the time of day, I feel compelled to buy albums by Dream Theater and The Darkness.

Early Elton John.  I found a live record on spotify that is I think 1970 - Burn Down the Mission, Take Me To the Pilot etc... at that point, he was just playing with a bassist and a drummer, and man, it sounds good.  Amazing harmonies.  He made so much schlock later on, but Tumbleweed Connection and Honky Chateau are really the s**t.

11-17-70 !  That is one of my favorite albums, I have the original vinyl. I think it was a radio concert from his first trip to the US. It is one of his best! 💕💕💕

The Callous Daoboys. They're a very experimental mathcore band with some unusual instruments for the genr, including saxophone and violin. They remind me of Every Time I Die and Dillinger Escape Plan.

It's a real eye opener for me - I didn't know he had that kind of small combo thing going on back then.  I'd always heard good things about his drummer, but never paid that much attention.  I wish there was more live stuff from that era!
