I really don't like this kind of metal at all. It's too involved and, to me at least, is 'for the sake of it'.
Give me traditional Power Metal any day of the week.
I'd also argue quite strongly that Trans Siberian Orchestra are nothing but a supremely talented, traditional hard rock band. Certainly not 'Symphonic Power Metal'. Whatever that is.

Can "Symphonic Rock" best be described as
the combining of rock and classical music traditions?...
Just curious?
Thanks
Kim

I originally agreed with this statement, however, this weekend I listened to TSO's "Beethoven's Last Night" and Stratovarius' "The 4th Dimension" in succession. My conclusion is that if Stratovarius qualifies as a Symphonic Metal band, then so does TSO. My girlfriend thought we were still listening to TSO.  |

I dig Kamelot, cuz a lot of their songs have a simpler structure to them then a lot of the other bands on your list. They are more like Queensryche than anything else.

I dig Helloween, Gamma Ray, Stratovarius, Savatage (their latter-day albums certainly qualify as "Symphonic Rock/Metal"), and TSO. I also have time for Kamelot, Hammerfall and Freedom Call. Beyond those, I actually find the genre a little repetitive.
