Riot

Perhaps the most underrated and unfortunate metal band of all time. Six impeccable albums in a row, plus a turning point that keeps them at very high peaks. Guitarist Reale is undoubtedly among the best ever in the genre: after all, he not only anticipates Heavy, but also Power (Thundersteel is from '88, but the single comes from a demo from '84), not to mention his tremendous ability to combine significant technical skills with outstanding taste... definitive.
