I love MANOWAR.
They're a large part of my first metal memories. "The Triumph of Steel" is one of the first metal albums I listened to (METALLICA's black album being another one), it's still one of my favorite albums and I still know most of the lyrics.
My feelings towards MANOWAR are a bit ambivalent however. I strongly disagree with their business model and I have to force myself looking at their attitude and behavior as part of a... "public performance".
Yet their music clearly fulfills its purpose: it rocks, its a mood-lifter, it's entertaining.
