Every single track from masterpiece Mindcrime is almost flawless to me, but especially Eyes of a Stranger, Breaking the Silence and I Don't Believe in Love. From other albums I recommend Queen of the Reich, Empire, Take Hold of the Flame, Walk in the Shadows, Another Rainy Night, Silent Lucidity, Roads to Madness, Warning, etc...
Basicly stuff from their first albums; Queensrÿche EP, Warning, Rage for Order, Operation: Mindcrime and Empire. Albums after Empire are not much appreciated by fans, critics, or myself either.

and dont forget operation mindcrime pt 2 and the Operation mindcrime live dvd. all of them pretty awesome, if you only have a small room in your collection from Queensryche, make them count.










(spoiler: DIO makes some guest vocals on mindcrime 2 and on the dvd)

My favorite OMC track is "Suite Sister Mary"- it's simultaneously beautiful, ethereal, Gothic, and sinister.

I agree! I loved that album, a bit different from "classic" Elvenking, but still great. Of course 7 Sinners tops my list, followed by The Final Frontier. Strings to a Web by RAGE was pretty awesome too, oh and La Raza by Armored Saint.

Best songs:
Helloween - Where The Sinners Go
Iron Maiden - Coming Home
Armored Saint - Left Hook From Right Field
Axel Rudi Pell - Too Late
Gamma Ray - Mother Angel

Most memorable concerts: Gamma Ray, KISS, Roger Waters.

Things I most look forward to in 2011:
Elysium
New Nocturnal Rites album
Helloween/Stratovarius tour
Iron Maiden tour
