My top 10 1. The Bards song in the forest 2. Lords of the rings 3. And then there was silence 4. Wheel of time 5. At the edge of time 6. Road no release 7. Noldor 8. Thorn 9. Doom 10. Blood tears
Except for the bard song(love the hobbit part so much more), absolutely love your top 10, they are all very epic tremendous tracks! Thanks for sharing kaveri 🤘🏼
You’re so right, thanks for correcting my mistakes that I do for probably 25 years 🤦🏻♂️. Always thought Kalle did only the first three albums with them and then Flemming came. He did Somewhere too and Flemming did Imaginations and finally Nightfall with Charlie Bauerfeind who’s gonna do the next albums after. Cheers mate 🤘🏼🖤
@@metalanthology yeah the situation as told by Hansi is that the band and Kalle had a lot of arguments and disagreements with each other during the recording of Somewhere Far Beyond which is what lead to them not continuing on with him afterwards.
Yeah they said that in their retrospective they did for every album up to A Night Opera in 2022 I think, Thomen was fortunately invited, nice of them. I thought it was on Tales they had that arguments. Somewhere’s production is pretty good actually
Did I miss something or you didn't put The Bard's Put (In the Forest) in this list? Blind Guardian is soo good that is welcomed also among the extreme metal fans.
Hahaha indeed there’s no Bard’s Song In The Forest, I prefer the second part The Hobbit anyway. A lot of great songs were left aside, their catalogue is made of such incredible quality, it was tough man. Cheers, hope you found something interesting in the video 🤘🏼🖤
My top 30 1. Thorn 2. Mordred’s Song 3. The New Order 4. Life Beyond The Spheres 5. Age Of False Innocence 6. And The Story Ends 7. Imaginations From The Other Side 8. Grand Parade 9. All The King’s Horses 10. Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns) 11. Sadly Sings Destiny 12. Under The Ice 13. The Curse Of Feanor 14. Somewhere Far Beyond 15. And Then There Was Silence 16. Wheel Of Time 17. Born In A Mourning Hall 18. Time Stands Still (At The Iron Hill) 19. Damnation 20. This Storm 21. Miracle Machine 22. The Tides Of War 23. Banish From Sanctuary 24. Punishment Divine 25. The Last Candle 26. Bright Eyes 27. Another Stranger Me 28. Theatre Of Pain 29. At The Edge Of Time 30. Harvest Of Sorrow
That’s an interesting top to be honest, very unusual and you included songs from their side orchestra project. I really most of your selections especially some I cut late like The Tides of War, Another Stranger Me, Thorn, Grand Parade, At The Edge Of Time and Noldor! Their discography is so stacked, difficult as fuck to choose haha
@@metalanthology it really is because you can’t go wrong with anything they released (except maybe the Symphonies Of Doom demo, which isn’t bad per say but is rather average in comparison to literally everything they came out with afterwards)
You can see that he is a true fan. Also here is my personal top 15: 1 mirror mirror 2 another stranger me 3 the soulforged 4 the nintht wave 5 thorn 6 bright eyes 7 theatre of pain 8 otherland 9 deliver us from evil 10 the skript for my requiem 11 blood of the elves 12 when sorrow sang 13 lost in the twilight hall 14 time what is time 15 precius jerusalem The exact order doesn't really matter and if I took my time, I could probably do a top 100, but I am quite happy with that. Those are 15 great hits from Blind Guardian
Difficult to hide how much a fan of BG I am, thanks 🤘🏼! I love your list with some incredible deep cuts like The Soulforged, Another Stranger Me (so underrated, what a wonderful solo), Thorn so epic, Otherland the best track on ATITM, When Sorrow Sang, Theater of Pain and more. The only one I can’t concur is The Ninth Wave , too long for what it is, still very good track 🫠! Thanks for sharing your top 15 🖤🤘🏼
@@jakobgoldmann735 this a great opener indeed, this album is totally underrated, my favourites are The Throne, Prophecies, At the Edge of Time and Holy Grail 🖤🤘🏼
I should have probably made a top50, since BG is my favourite band by a laaaarge margin (and Hansi I consider the best vocalist to have ever walked the earth), but I've recently made a top10 to prepare for their concert, so here we go: 10) In the Red Dwarf's Tower 9) Beyond the Wall 8) Destiny 7) The Tides of War 6) Damnation 5) Age of False Innocence 4) Wheel of Time 3) Thorn 2) The Eldar 1) Punishment Divine Which doesn't look a lot like your list, but trust me - it is. I could relate quite a lot watching the video, it's just that most of our top songs would only start matching if I had included the next 10 or 20, with stuff like Time Stands Still or When Sorrow Sang in it ;)
Thanks for taking the time to share your list and thoughts. I see you included 2 songs from the orchestral project, I didn’t considered this album since it’s like a side project of Hansi and Andre still there’s some magical moments on it. I like the last album and I think Damnation was a great choice, love the song, my favourite with Blood of the Elves. Thorn is a fantastic track also but like you said it’s so difficult with this band to make a list. Tides of War and Doom are two masterpieces and still bonus track, this is crazy haha! Glad you liked the video, don't hesitate to stick around and share on the channel! Cheers mate 🤘🏼🖤
@@metalanthology True words with the orchestral project, I was quite unsure whether this "counts" indeed. But well, I like counting it in :D Thanks for replying
@@ravciozo2137 it’s just really different to compare but it’s not a sacrilege to include it. Because of you I came back to that album yesterday night haha, cheers 🤘🏼

Just so you know, Somewhere Far Beyond was produced by Kalle Trapp not Flemming Rasmussen
You’re so right, thanks for correcting my mistakes that I do for probably 25 years 🤦🏻♂️. Always thought Kalle did only the first three albums with them and then Flemming came. He did Somewhere too and Flemming did Imaginations and finally Nightfall with Charlie Bauerfeind who’s gonna do the next albums after. Cheers mate 🤘🏼🖤
