Queensryche are kind of an odd group really, their stuff before Operation Mindcrime was very Iron Maiden in feel, then came Operation Mindcrime a concept album (a very good one) and seemed to have as you say a slick metal style rather than a natural metal style, but from then on albums such as Empire and Promised Land had a slick radio rock feel, much in the mould of Journey, in fact Geoff Tate sounds like Steve Perry on those albums.
