I would say Sad Wings and Stained Class. I think they lost a bit in the 80s myself when they started focusing more on being "Metal," which is really obvious in the lyrical topics.
Yeah, they had a better sound in the '70's. I consider DotF to be one of the best because it's the only one where I really enjoy all of the tracks. For each other album, there's at least one track that I'll usually skip.
