1) The 7th of Never
This is easily my favorite guitar hero power/traditional metal release ever, and it makes my overall list of all-time faves. Such a killer album. The title track has one of the best riffs evah.
HUGE GAP
2) For Those Who Dare
This is nowhere near the quality of The 7th of Never, but it is a good genre release and was a pleasant surprise after the disappointing The Voice of the Cult.
3) Ruler of the Wasteland
I did not get into this back in the day, but I came to appreciate it in the Internet Age.
I do not care for the others, although certainly Mystery of Illusion and The Voice of the Cult are more enjoyable than the post-For Those Who Dare albums.
