Its been a surprise that I haven't mentioned this guitar shredder on this thread yet. Not classified as a power metal album, but this neo-classical groundbreaking masterpiece by Yngwie Malmsteen, must have had every budding future power metal guitarist listening to it back in the early 1980s when it came out. Lets be honest, its an amazing piece of guitar shredding with some good supporting instrumentals by his backing band and the usual gruff reliable vocals of Jeff Scott Soto on board as well, who oddly went on the feature with Journey for a while in the 00's.
