You count the medals, One, two and three! Life goes on! Anything goes! Coming up O's!
(But first, a short introduction!)
For those of you not in-the-know, Power Rangers didn't come from America originally; it was adapted from Toei Japan's Super Sentai which started out in the 70's, and even before that, there was Kamen Rider, which was the first transforming hero. Unlike Power Rangers and Super Sentai, Kamen Riders were mostly lone wolves, they also didn't have giant robots.
What they lacked in firepower they made up for in deep and likable characters, unique ideas, and sometimes even silly-ness. (For example, on of the monsters-of-the-week was a starfish-Hitler)
Now, to explain the weird lyrics at the beginning...
BEHOLD! The latest Kamen Rider! As you can see, the opening is full of not only imagery, but overwhelming energy, something that no other Kamen Rider theme has.
The show is based off the motif of money and greed, the main monsters being called Greeed(in plural as well). The rider himself is based and different part types (head, arms, and legs), and matching parts form a Combo that has its own theme and a special finisher. Though I have only seen the first few episodes, I have high hopes and expectations for the series!

I am fan of super posing that why I like Great Saiman and the Ginyu Force in DBZ. That’s why I l like comics. I really didn’t give much care for Kamin Rider I felt it was the one too many. I give it watch later. Any recommended seasons is the English one ok ?

You're asking for one dubbed in English or subtitles? Besides, Kamen Riders aren't in continuity with each other (with a few EPIC exceptions) so you can just watch one and make an educated choice on whether you'll try the others.
The only Kamen Riders that were seen in the English language is Kamen Rider Ryuki and Kamen Rider Black RX, (fandubs don't count) and they've both been changed as much as Power Rangers is changed from Super Sentai. Ryuki was adapted to Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, and Black RX was adapted as Masked Ri-Der. If you want a truly good experience, go with the subtitles, which every rider to date has.
