Of course, here goes... ALBUMS:

1- VISIONS - I don't know why, but I put this album here. I really can't decide between this and Episode. Great songs from 1 to 10, full of classics, great production, superb performance... The best metal album ever imo.
2- EPISODE - Thats the other great of the greats. All are great songs, no boring, superb sound, performance and production, cracking start from father time and pretty nice end with Forever.
3- DESTINY - Thought this is the third, its very far from the second and first.
The quality of the others lasts on the song Destiny, but some other songs aren't as great as before and it was getting a little repetitive.

SONGS:

1- BLACK DIAMOND - I was terribily shocked first time i heard it, I thought... "will you ever find something as perfect as this?"
Great in all spects.. Tolkki will definately do nothing more as good as BD.

2- FATHER TIME - The best cracking strato-song. Great fast riffs, superb keys, drums & bass. And Kotipelto is at 100% here!

3- Can't choose between DESTINY and VISIONS. Both are 10-minute masterpieces, from 1 second to 10 minutes. They show how good can be a band, playing form that much with no error. Both have slow parts and fast parts.

Definitely a very good choice!!! Very similar to mine!!
But Visions song is a little better in my opinion than Destiny, which is perfect but I don't like Tolkki's solo part!!

Yes, you have very good taste too
Visions has more parts but Destiny has a more regular structure... really can't decide at all

[Lapazeus]

Albums:

• Visions of Europe - This album has the Strato's golden era classics played with great energy, feeling and speed!
  Episode - Best studio album by Stratovarius. Solid production and song material. Especially Tolkki's more riff-oriented playing appeals to me
  Visions - A harmonious whole

Songs:

• Twilight Symphony (live version)
  Season of Change
  Visions

[Jack]

1- Episode
2- Infinite
3- Elements Part I


1- Hunting High and Low
2- Father Time
3- Eagleheart/Paradise/Millenium

Really though, I love every stratosong. I just find myself singing along to these ones alot more than the rest!

[Guest]

Albums:

1) LIVE! VISIONS OF EUROPE - I love live songs, and its from the visions era, I think, so its a must...

2) VISIONS - They are all classics, what can I say?

3) ELEMENTS PART 1 - I like it a little more than part 2. Just a tiny bit, the two are very close.

Songs:

1) LIVE! LEGIONS - I love live songs and legions is a really great and exciting song as it is.

2) BLACK DIAMOND - I just simply adore this one, partially because I love hearing the Jens and Tolkki solo about 2/3rd of the way into the song.

3) FIND YOUR OWN VOICE - Lyrics are pretty good, (though I rarely care about the lyrics), and the intro is fun, it gets stuck in my head, and I just love this part:

Let your own light guide your way through life, find your own voice, make your own paradise![/i]

Can someone link me to Stratovarius music video things? In particular Black Diamond? I tried the one at the site and it didn't load in windows media player for me (but I could watch other AVI's like the one in OT with Anders playing the harmonica).

Go at www.stratovarius.com in Multimedia and Videos. You should get DivX Player to read videos, it's nice!

[Zeke89]

Albums:

Infinite - I really love it! It contains my favourite Strato song! And the other songs rock too. Everytime I listen this album it makes me feel happy.

Destiny - Very nostalgic album. All the songs rock, and the atmosphere on the album is very good.

Visions - I think I don't even have to give reasons for choosing this album.

Songs:

1. Hunting High and Low
- My favourite Strato song. I love it!
2. Black Diamond
- A classic! Melody is one of the greatest ever... And the solos are just cool.
3. Destiny
- Same argumentations as "HHAL" and "Black Diamond"... + the choir part in the beginning. It sounds good, and makes feel calm.

02. Visions
03. Elements - I consider them one album!

Top Three Songs
... Madness!

01. Infinity - Beautiful song, I love it!
02. Out Of The Shadows ... So inspiring!
03. Destiny

Well, not sure about the top three songs since it's almost impossible to narrow it down to three; maybe 30 would be easier!
