I'm listening to Strange Wings from their CD "Hall Of The Mountain King", and I realize I don't pay enough attention to Savatage. They're a great progressive metal band! Their 1985 album, Power Of The Night is one of the greatest metal albums I ever heard (seriously). Jon Oliva's roaring vocals and Criss Oliva's sonic guitar playing are the center of why the band is so awesome. The band's other vocalist, Zak Stevens was also pretty good too. Not as good as Jon of course, but still, a damn good vocalist.
