You've said in the thread about Nightwish that you don't like symphonic metal. I found it strange that you like Queensrÿche.
And, yes, I've found much Iron Maiden sound in their music. Maiden are better musically - songwriting, riffs, solos, Queensrÿche's relied on Geoff Tate's voice to make almost all of the song, but for me Tate (in the 80s) was even better than Bruce Dickinson. Then he kinda lost the power of his voice.
I like a lot of their 90s songs, too, but then due to their main songwriter's (Chris DeGarmo) departure they went completely down.
b.t.w. Silent Lucidity sounds like it was written by Pink Floyd and performed by Queensrÿche (even on youtube a guy wrote a comment that he thought that it was a Pink Floyd song and had looked for it for years but couldn't find it).
