Wow, Soundchaser sure does kickass. If their whole catalogue is this good, then my list will go like this.

1. Grave Digger
2. Rage
3. Running Wild

Its hard for me to pick any of these bands as being the best because they're all so goddamn inconsistent. I can pick individual albums...in which case I'd go with

Rage - Reign of Fear

Running Wild - Gates to Purgatory.

Its their thrashiest by far...and I like just about every song on it....can't say that about any other of their albums.

And these are the only Running WIld albums I like

Gates to Purgatory
Branded for Exile
Death or Glory
Black Hand Inn

The rest are extremely boring and full of fillers.

Grave Digger is not good in my opinion. Extremely boring.

Dude, how could you not like Under Jolly Roger and Pile of Skulls? Completely awesome albums.

If i had to pick one of them.....i couldnt because PRIMAL FEAR beats them all hands down :twisted:
How could you leave out Primal Fear, Edguy, Blind Guardian, Gamma Ray & Iron Savior? All those bands are better than Rage, Grave Digger & Running Wild.

After PF, Edguy, IS, GM & BG.......a big gap, then Grave Digger, Rage then Running Wild.
Grave Digger are better because they are unique, very different compared to the rest. Wicked, deep vocals which makes the songs that much better.
From what i've heard from Rage, i consider them to be overrated. Soundchaser didnt impress me very much at all. Yeah, its good, but on the average side of good. I'd agree that they do have boring songs & weird structures. Guitars are your typical shreaders, but overall, they could be better.

Agreed. I meant second tier of popularity. However, I can't agree that Edguy is nothing compared to these three.

Yes, Edguy blows those 3 bands out of the water on so many levels
