For years Bob Catley has been my favorite voice on Avantasia and recently Ayreon. But I never investigated where he came from. I understand he was in the band Magnum and has some solo work as well? Any big fans on the PP board? Rec's welcomed!
favorite Bob Catley releases and entry points?

Nice! Seems like Storyteller's Night is a good starting point. I would actually be more interested in the AOR/rock albums than the bombastic metal albums, at least at first.

If you are more of a AOR than bombastic / symphonic fan you must also check our Hard Rain. It's pretty much Magnum when they were on a break.
Also, all of Catley's solo efforts are stellar. Especially "The Tower". A masterpiece...

Magnum - On a Storyteller's Night
Chase the Dragon and Wings of Heaven are two very good albums as well. It's very much melodic rock - don't expect anything heavy. It's just damn good music.
His solo album "Immortal" that Magnus Karlsson (Allen/lande, The Codex, last Tribe) did the music for is pretty awesome too.

If you like Immortal, I highly reccomend his previous solo effort, Spirit of Man. It's every bit as good.
Immortal is excellent, and Storyteller is definitely the classic everyone says it is. Amazing singer I would not have been as aware of if it wasn't for Avantasia (thanx Tobi).
