Manowar - Kings of Metal. Very entertaining straight up power metal band, that were also innovative by releasing this epic slice of viking/heathen metal cheese in 88' beating Bathory's Hammerheart by almost 2 years. They featured tasty guitar solos by ex-Dictator Ross the Boss, insane bass solos and a lead singer with a pretty good set of pipes. I look at them as the Kiss of power metal.
