Here's a good one, Savatage's "The Price You Pay" from the Hall of The Mountain King album, during their Power Metal era and before Criss Oliva was killed (RIP A great guitarist who was taken too soon)

Pop Quiz, who HONESTLY has heard of Savatage? Nobody? You should be ashamed, now go turn on a record player, put on the headphones and crank up the volume until you broaden your view beyond "Mainstream" LOL
Seriously though, many greats never got the recognition they deserved. Savatage just happens to be one those great bands. They never made it into the Mainstream and most rock/metal fans don't even know who they are. Many other people know 1 of their songs (and only one), because it's played every year on radio stations for Christmas. The song is Christmas Eve Sarajevo 12/24. But the radio stations don't play "that", it's labeled as being performed by TSO (Tran-Siberian Orchestra), which TSO is Savatage. I've even spoken with people who claimed to be huge TSO fans, who had no clue about Savatage.
