Blind Guardian is exceptionally cool, because they combined two awesome things, power metal AND the works of Tolkien. I haven't listened to them in a while, but you've motivated me to bust out A Night at the Opera and Nightfall in Middle-Earth. I recommend Kamelot if you enjoy the female choruses, there are some awesome moments on their album Epica. They're American too, so you don't have to worry about liking their accents. I went through a pretty lengthy power metal phase, and I listened to a lot of Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius. Dragonforce is entertaining, and insanely technical, but I can only tolerate so much of their music. I feel cool for knowing about them way before they became famous though.
