Quoted from bigdaddy07:I would extend that up to Somewhere in Time. I loved that album personally. I think up to that was their best run golden era.
I too stopped at Somewhere in Time. Great album. I guess I just grew out of them by that point. Still love them though, and if it wasn't for Maiden, Ozzy, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Scorpions etc. my teenage years in the early 80's would have sucked! I hated the New Wave Pop crap that was out at the same time, and country was never my scene.
