"Queen of the Reich", IMO is one the greatest heavy metal songs from the 80's. Operation Mindcrime, no question is one the founding albums of the prog/metal genre. I will say that Geoff Tate's vocals are irritating at times.
I used to have Lisa Dalbello's debut album on vinyl years ago, she was good but really didn't go anywhere.
Really Joe, I like Geoff Tate's vocals, he is versatile and can belt out the songs or pull back and just coast, he is one of my top ten metal vocalists for sure.
No hadn't heard that before, I like it, but prefer Queensryche's cover.
Apart from Eyes of a Stranger, my other favourites from Mindcrime are

So asmospheric, kinda spooky and Geoff Tate's vocals are amazing
I have a couple of their albums on Vinyl (The Warning and Rage for Order) and a coule on CDs (Operation: Mindcrime and Empire), I really need to get some more as I've had a real resurrgance of interest in them. I think at the time I so loved Mindcrime, I had just such high expectations for Empirie, but was left disappointed. That's why I didn't buy any more of their albums. I will do now though, so if anybody can make a recommendations for which album to buy after Empire, please recommnend away!
Even though it took some heat from fans and critics I liked Operation Mindcrime part II. It finishes off the story and the production values are good. I am a completionist as well so I want to know how the story ends.
I'll have to check my library to see which ones I have Tray, sometimes having 1,000's of albums laying around causes me to forget exactly what I have and by who...

LG, he's a great vocalist but there are times, epecially when he reaches in the higher octaves that it does abrade me. Similar to that of James Labrie when he does the same. I'm a fan of both bands, especially DT.
