Real power metal bands

pontifex

Blind Guardian - Pretty much anything of theirs rocks. Hansi Kursch has the best voice ever. Fly and Bright Eyes are probably my two favorite songs. I don't think they have actual videos of those songs though.

Demons & Wizards - Collaboration between members of Blind Guardian and Iced Earth. I don't see any official videos but almost all of their songs are awesome.

Symphony X - Unfortunately, they don't appear to have any official videos. It looks like all concert videos taken by fans with crappy cameras.

Edguy - Check out Superheroes and King of Fools (may be NSFW).

Sonata Arctica

there's plenty more too, but its hard finding good videos
 
Blind Gaurdian and Demons and Wizards I consider more "Viking Metal", but nonetheless, all the bands you mentioned are good.
 
YES indeed to all that. Dragonforce is decent..but they're way too popular for their own good.

Add Symphorce, Brainstorm, Angra, Pagan's Mind, Ayreon, Evergrey, Heavenly, and Kamelot to that list and it'll be even better!
 
My power metal MP3 folder

as you can see, several other bands you guys listed are there too. Some of the bands I have aren't that great too, but most of it is at least listenable.


Ayreon is one of my favorite bands but I list them as more prog rock than power metal.

haven't seen a single band you guys listed so far that i didn't like.
