i heard one song. if you give me a few hours i can even find out the song it was i heard.
however, dragonforce class themselves as "exteme power metal" and helloween as classed as power metal....so im not entirely insane in comparing them.

DragonForce totally exadurate themselves, I enjoy listening to the, but they are by no means 'Extreme.' Helloween pretty much started off the genre, and they do have a few light hearted songs (as many bands do) but most of what I've heard is proper music.

well you guys all did ignore my request for recommendations of a album to listen to to get started on them.....

I just didn't read your requests.
Start out with either of the 'Keeper of the Seven Keys' albums, or 'Walls of Jericho' which I plan on purchasing soon.

I finally got 'Walls of Jericho' today. I like it, but prefer the Keeper albums because of Kiske's vocals. For me songs like 'Starlight' and 'Victim of Fate sound better with Kiske's vocals. WoJ is also quite difficult listening with the EP stuck on the front, it makes it too long. Good album though, but Keepers are better.
