Extreme metal will always be my love, but I've been a fan of more traditional metal, (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest) what some people label "power metal" (Iced Earth, Blind Guardian), and of course prog bands like King Crimson and Rush, for as long as I can remember. More recently I have discovered Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime and thought "What the HELL have I been doing for the last 10 years without this album?!" Needless to say, it's classic. What I love about Queensryche is not only do Tate's vocals fucking rule, but they aren't formulaic like the traditional metal bands, aren't embarassingly cheesy like the power metal bands, and have more melodic guitar work with catchier hooks than the prog bands.

I'm looking for something that can satisfy my recent desire for more Queensryche-ian bands. Can the TFP help me out?
