I'm not huge on power metal, but Blind Guardian is great - you should definitely get some of that.

However in any conversation about BG and IE, it should be noted that Hansi Kursch (BG vocalist) and Jon Schaffer (IE rhythm guitarist/songwriter) collaborated with some other great musicians to form Demons & Wizards. And their self titled album is definitely worth getting - it's musicgasmic.
Agreed. Demons and Wizards rock, although i like Touched By The Crimson King (which features a badass cover of The Immagrant Song) better than self titled.
Burnt Offerings is a great reccomdantion. Its my second fav Iced Earth cd (NOTS) featuring awesome tracks like Burnt Offerings, Last December, and the truly amazing 16:26 epic that is "Dantes Inferno"

It also is the first cd featuring vocalist Matthew Barlow, The best vocalist of all time!
