Cheesiest Power Metal Songs

The kind of songs people make fun of in power metal. I'm not calling them bad, they are all good songs. But they are the very typical Power metal songs.
The Top Ten
1 Holy Thunderforce - Rhapsody

To be honest, music in their entire discography sounds cheesy and poppy to me. Same for DragonForce. Also, the majority of the songs by Nightwish, Within Temptation and Stratovarius. Half of the Helloween songs. Many songs by Avantasia and Edguy.

I don't know how to explain this song! a National Anthem? A Classical era piece? Mamma Mia? WHAT? I just feel strangely happy with the chorus of this song! and yet I laugh at that strange happiness!

Let's be honest though, most power metal bands sound cheesy, but that's the beauty of the genre! They are not afraid to be "cheesy".

2 Through the Fire and Flames - DragonForce
3 My God-Given Right - Helloween
4 The Unicorn Invasion of Dundee - Gloryhammer

Their music is cool but they're really cheesy. Should change the name into Cheesehammer

A lot of good songs on this list! I must like CHEESE!

5 Call To Arms - Manowar
6 Amaranth - Nightwish

Oh god, just play the sample - it's so poppy and cheesy that I think it's a crime to consider such songs "metal'. It's a disgrace to metal.

7 The Way of the Warrior - HammerFall
8 The Village of Dwarves - Rhapsody
9 Christmas Spirits - Sonata Arctica
10 Black Ninja - Battle Beast

I disagree, I enjoy this song. I have seen Battle Beast open for Sabaton, and to be honest, I enjoyed it, even when the lyrics don't make sense

This isn't only cheesy, it's also very bad - bad written and bad performed.

The Contenders
11 Bye Bye Beautiful - Nightwish
12 Mirror, Mirror - Blind Guardian
13 Metal Crüe - Sabaton
14 Eagle Fly Free - Helloween

Especially music to the pre-chorus sounds like a children song - I mean music to the section that stars with this line: "In the sky a mighty eagle..."
It's on the song sample.

15 The Clarion Call - Falconer

Probably the most beautiful Power Metal song I heard

16 Emerald Sword - Rhapsody
17 Hunting High and Low - Stratovarius
18 Fairytale - Edguy
19 Operation Ground and Pound - Dragonforce

I mean, the intro and the pre solo are just chilling

20 Dungeon Master - Part II - Pegasus

Hard to don't smile or get chills, And it's a Black Metal song, oh my god

21 Warriors - Freedom Call
22 Vicious Dominion - Crosswind
23 Masterplan - Kisses from You
24 Heroes of Our Time - DragonForce
25 Fury of the Storm - DragonForce
