2009-2011 were the years where I pretty much only listened to metal music. I loved (and still love!) all genres, but I always had a soft spot for the cheesy, epic wonderfulness that is power metal. So why not pay it a tribute in playlist form?

Here's to you, my preteen music tastes. Contains pretty much ever big-name group (Nightwish, Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius, etc.), as well as some bands that never got enough love.
