Helloween is my favorite power metal band; I can't get much into many other power metal bands because of the cheesiness / vocals.
I like listening to 70's rock mostly, although I am pretty much open to all kind of styles.
My listening to heavy metal was accidental at first, for I had to share a room with a relative that is quite the family's metal maniac. After that I kept listening to random songs, although I never followed a band or a specific metal genre so my knowledge of this musical field is kind of vague.
Still, I went to see Helloween play live in the late 90's during the tour that followed the release of the album "Time of the Oath", and man did they sound great. Michael Weikath is a true guitar hero.
