Queensryche

Their old stuff is amazing. Operation Mindcrime has been one of my favorite albums as of late. Unfortunatly like what has been listed above, thier recent efforts have been absolute shit. They have not put out a decent album since Promised Land. Queen of the Ryche (song) is amazing as well. It has that awsome galloping rythem of maiden and the straight forward heaviness of Priest.

the video is funny as hell though

Mindcrime stinks (broadway cheese), but Rage For Order is a completely misunderstood progressive masterpiece. The first EP and Warning rock pretty good for the most part, but they're just OK.

Pay no attention to that man! Well, except the Rage for Order and EP/Warning info :)

Mindcrime is top notch, but I have a hard time choosing between that and Rage for Order, depends on the day I think. Rage for Order was way ahead of its time and I dare say still ahead of its time, nothing like it.
