Top Ten (+15) - Power Metal Albums

I categorized 290 Power Metal albums. Germany was easily the most well-represented country with 108 albums, followed by the U.S. (55 albums), Sweden (48 albums), and Finland (25 albums). The remainder included ten other countries. Not surprisingly, 13 of the top 25 albums were by German bands, with U.S. bands second with seven albums. Oddly, only one Swedish album is included here.
