My latest project is to get my power metal station (bands like: Blind Guardian, MasterPlan, and Delain) to mix with glam metal (bands like: Tesla, Steelheart, and Bon Jovi). They seem similar enough in my mind, especially if mixed with bands like Skid Row, Judas Priest, and Motley Crue that might help bridge the gap. But, I think there might be bands that won't mix, such as bands like: Nevermore, Iced Earth, and Symphony X, but there I don't think it is that these musics don't mix. Rather, it is effects like compression that the bands these are overusing.
