You know, with some songs, we like them the first time we listen. Some songs require you to listen a couple of times before enjoying them. Which Stratovarius songs have you liked the first time?
me:
Hold On To Your Dream
Black Diamond (This is my all time favourite. Loved it the second I heard it)
Destiny
Phoenix
Hands of Time
Legions
Kiss of Judas
We are the Future
Wings Of Tomorrow
Chasing Shadows

Re: your instant favourites
1) Black Diamond - The first Strato song I've ever heard in my life! I bought Visions album without having heard ever a single song from Strato, but I read on a magazine some time before a description of their music and I always thought they should be great, so I risked and bought the album the same day it got to the local store (and it was the first copy of that album that also got to this country ). Black Diamond is the first song on my album, and it gave me goose bumps since the first single keyboard note of it!
2) Every single song on Visions album!
... I think it's easier if you ask me which songs I didn't love after the first time listening
Rock On!

Except for Thin Ice, I liked all songs after the first listening. And those who I didn't like, I still don't :p

Re: your instant favourites
Same ere, it wasn't exactly the fisrt one for me but it was certainly the first one that blew my mind away as melodic metal (Firedance did it before because of its outstanding drumming), anyway I think it's a wonderful song, way underrated here.Neferte wrote:The first Strato song I heard in my life and absolutely instant favorite: Eagleheart.

Re: your instant favourites
There are lots of songs I could specify, but there are three songs with a really special meaning to me. And I loved them from the first second on...
Speed of Light - It was the first song I've ever heard of Stratovarius
Hunting High and Low - I had a serious accident in 2001 and while lying in the hospital, the song emerged to be kind of personal anthem for me, because somehow it always managed to cheer me up when I felt like giving up.
Legions - Because the line "faster than light higher than the sky" perfectly describes my way of life.

Re: your instant favourites
from what i hear in the forums, eagleheart is not underrated, just that it became like a pop kinda song so people like their own personal favorites over that one everyday, i also personally like it as well, hell i can play the whole song in guitar (not an impressive feat but its something)!MaFiaBoY wrote: Same ere, it wasn't exactly the fisrt one for me but it was certainly the first one that blew my mind away as melodic metal (Firedance did it before because of its outstanding drumming), anyway I think it's a wonderful song, way underrated here.

Re: your instant favourites
hunting high and low was a song i liked instantly, though it was definitely not the first strato song i heard... i mean i was already a strato fan, but this song caught me in a very good mood
some friend of mine said this was the worst strato song ever

And back to on-topic, I really haven't many instant favourites. The best songs "opened" me later.
Well, some instant favourites:
HHAL
A Million Light Years Away
Drop in the Ocean ( )
Coming Home
Father Time
Dreamspace
The Hands of Time
Madness Strikes at Midnight
Visions LIVE
There are many many others, but I can't remember...
It's quite funny that first of all my all-time favourites stratotracks (The Kiss of Judas and Season of Change) were very hard to "find out"...

Re: your instant favourites
Who, again a total listing topic.
I could then say only one song: A Million Light Years Away. It´s the first Strato-song I started to like very much. And still I consider it as one of the best newer Strato-songs.
