I must say Savatage is most definitley my fav. prog. metal group,and in my top fav. groups period,they have released so much great material.The only Savatge album I dont care for is their cheesy album "Fight For The Rock".Anyway though my opinion changes alot,as of now "Streets" is my favorite,it has the most variety out of all of the albums.It contains beautiful songs such as "Heal My Soul","A little To Far", and "Believe" and has some classic heavy songs like "Jesus Saves","Streets" and "Strange Reality".Like I said before I prefer Zak Stevens or Jon Oliva,but Jon is amazing on this album.So which is your all time favorite?

Out of the ones stated it is a tie between Hall of the Mountain King and Gutter Ballet and then Streets (which IMO is a bit too over the top) But my alltime favourite will ALWAYS be Sirens on vinyl with the original cover as released by Par Records. My problem with everything after Streets is... the lack of Jon Oliva's superior vocals.

The Wake of Magellan for sure. Their other albums haven't impressed me too much, but this one has. The title track in particular is a masterpiece.

Edge Of Thorns for me...!
second comes Streets .... Criss Oliva was the man in guitars!!! RIP
Although I dont listen to them nowadays but Savatage was great when I was in middle school... I use to listen to them, Ozzy, and Alice cooper at that time.
Good band

I like all Savatage album, some more or less. I started with the classic "Gutter Ballet", after that I got "Streets", I found "Poets and Madmen" (which is highly underrated). My favorite track are "Chance", "Edge of Thorns" & "Strange Wings". And still I'm going to something that is a live album "Ghost In the Ruins". Now if I'm only allowerd to chose a studio album my choice is "Hall of the Mountain King".

lol...so I open up this thread in order to know which album to buy, and everyone has pretty much named a different one. Oh well, I guess that means pretty much all of their releases are good.

It's taken me a while to decide which one I like the most, but I think The Wake of Magellan would be my favorite. The high vocals on the older albums annoy me a little, but other than that they're all solid. TWoM has a complex concept, and the music seems to be a little more experimental and has even more feeling. It's slower and somewhat "less metal", but it's still my favorite.

I love all savatage, every CD has its own unique sound especially in the later years their music became so different but yet still the same. I would have to go with Dead Winter Dead as my favorite, however Handful of Rain and The Wake of Magellan are very close second for me.
