Savatage Albums Ranked From Worst to Best

[@jamesbedford3774]

Criss Oliva is perhaps the most underrated guitarist of all time. An absolute legend, and responsible for my favourite solo ever. Savatage were great.

[@FaustianSpirit1997]

11) Fight For The Rock 10) Dead Winter Dead 9) Power Of The Night 8) Poets And Madmen 7) The Wake Of Magellan 6) Streets 5) Sirens + The Dungeons Are Calling (i consider them the same entity) 4) Edge Of Thorns 3) Handful Of Rain 2) Gutter Ballet 1) Hall Of The Mountain King * What can i say that hasn't been said before? I love Savatage, i love their classic american take of Heavy/Power Metal, i love their more Symphonic and Progressive adventures, i love Jon's voice and work with the keys, i love Criss' solid riffs and blistering solos, i love Paul's capacity of storytelling and production work. They're the band i wish could've reach the Heavy Metal stardom. R.I.P to both Criss and Paul, both will be dearly missed.

[@waterdive122productions6]

The day is FINALLY here. Thank you Bryce!! One of my favorite bands ever, here's how I rank Savatage's albums (including Dungeons are Calling): #12: Dead Winter Dead- 1995 #11: Fight for the Rock- 1986 #10: Sirens- 1983 #9: Poets and Madmen- 2001 #8: Streets: A Rock Opera- 1991 #7: Dungeons are Calling EP- 1984 #6: The Wake of Magellan- 1997 #5: Handful of Rain- 1994 #4: Gutter Ballet- 1989 #3: Power of the Night- 1985 #2: Edge of Thorns- 1993 #1: Hall of the Mountain King- 1987 RIP to Criss Oliva, one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Hall of the Mountain King will probably remain my number one for a while. It's a masterpiece all the way through. More metalheads need to listen to Savatage.

[@themastersword1621]

Jon Oliva is one of my favorite vocalists just because of how distinct his voice his. Melodic and majestic yet snarling and at times sinister.

[@simonepeverelli883]

I'm a Swiss old time Sava fan. Savatage are one of my favorite metal band. See them live many time, including an awesome show at Wacken in front of 100000 fans. My fav are Streets and Gutter ballet. I like very much the album with Zak on vocals. Dead Winter Dead is one of my favorite. The only "Christmas" song is Sarajevo but it's ok if you follow the story of the concept. I have to say that I'm a huge concept album fan!

[@joedolenza7944]

Was blessed once to meet Chris on Gutter Ballet tour and it was in a smaller club in Dettoit Michigan called the Token Lounge cheers my friends and he was just walking around so fucking cool talking to people and hung out with us for like fifteen minutes. Such a cool guy!

[@selfdiscardedkingofruin7291]

I've been a huge Savatage fan since the mid 80's and luckily got see them and party with them a few times. The coolest nicest dudes. Not one bad album( FFTR is even good imo lol) Top 3 for me is HOTMK, GUTTER, AND STREETS in no particular order. Oh yeah, Paul O'neill personally gave me 2 front row tickets to TSO🤘

[@nelsonshuchmacherendebo7688]

Solid ranking. Power of the Night, the title track, is one of the most metal tunes ever recorded, such a banger.

[@0neInTheWorld]

I personally love 'Edge Of Thorns' the most. You should try to get the japanese version of it. It contains with 'Forever After' and 'Shotgun Innocence' two more great songs. #2 would be 'Streets - A Rock Opera'.

[@kevinbrown1893]

1. Gutter Ballet (1989) 2. Hall of The Mountain King (1987) 3. Streets: A Rock Opera (1991) 4. Sirens (1983) 5. Edge of Thorns (1993) 6. The Wake of Magellan (1997) 7.

I enjoy Gutter Ballet more than Hall of the Mountain King! The musicianship, production, and song writing is awesome!

Lmao DWD is waaaay too far down the list

[@blacktytrix]

Edge of thorns I think will always be my personal number 1. Everything about the album is great. And while Jon is of course one of the greats, with hall and gutter being their standout albums, I can't help but love everything Zak does. His voice is vastly different but it still fits the band tremendously. Just shows how great the band truly is.

[@warrenmooney9422]

Agreed, while I like Jon's voice better this album is the best one I've heard by Savatage. The guitar is sick and the songs are awesome too.

[@gellargod]

Love love love Savatage. First saw them on the Gutter Ballet tour, so of course that's my number one. Also saw them on the Streets tour, Edge of Thorns tour, and Handful of Rain tour. Very underated band!!!

[@thedarkwizardroom]

Can't argue with the ranking Bryce. Nice! I got to see Savatage along with Megadeth open for DIO in 88. Simply amazing all the songs especially off Hall Of The Mountain King my no 1. Being a classic album I have on cd. 🎹🥁🎸🎤🎶✔

[@bjblaskowitz4435]

Fight For The Rock Is Underrated

[@ctfan1486]

I'm sure Jon would punch me in my face for saying this but I think he did a great job on Day after day. Definitely not a "Savatage " song but shows how great Jon really is. Doesn't mean I want to see them perform it live either.

[@RockersBeerReview]

One of my favourite bands - good ranking but streets in 7th I can’t agree with - for me it’s their best album followed by gutter ballet and mountain king. Poets and madman is an album I’ve really enjoyed more and more too and would rank higher because it’s got Jon singing.

[@siddharthdeshmukh8118]

Awesome ranking! When it comes to guitar tone, Criss is in the same league among George Lynch and Randy Rhoads IMO and Jon is definitely in my top 10 Metal vocalists. Do you like Symphony X? I'd say they took that "Gutter Ballet/Streets" sound to a different level. Cheers!

One of my favorite bands ever! My top 3: 1) Streets 2) Hall of the Mountain King 3) Gutter Ballet

[@thorpenator9148]

Met Criss on Edge of Thorns. He is your favorite guitar player. Worked on Ken Erb"s guitar recently from Shok Paris. They toured with Savatage, and great to hear stories about the mighty Savatage.

[@hevihoo]

Funny how this came out the same day I bought the new vinyl re-release of HOTMK. Of course I bought the original back in the day and couple of those cd releases later on but since this one had a gatefold sleeve and new liner notes... 😁 Can't argue with your listing. Mine would be almost identical. I really like Zak's singing too but Jon is just so unique and his voice can express such a wide range of emotions that there's really no contest after all. Savatage has been one of my all time favourites since the release of HOTMK. Would have been even earlier than that but it was only then I heard the band. Just hoping that they could sort out their schedules etc. and record and release a new album. Even if it was just one last time they ever did anything. I'd buy the vinyl, and the cd and shirts and whatever they'd put out with it.

[@theinnersleeve-vinylenthus4600]

They were tuned down to Standard D on the old stuff, making it very heavy and dark, which I loved.

[@garyjoyce2160]

Got them all. Pretty similar rating. I’ll say this. Just my opinion, for a final album 2001 POETS and MADMEN / might be their most underrated/ under the radar albums. BRYCE/ tremendous job as usual my “ young metal head”. You 💯 know your stuff. Keep it up 👍

[@johnosbourn4312]

They also released an album titled Return to Wacken, as well. Now, of all of their albums that you showed, I only have four of them, but the way I'd rank them goes like this: Streets, a Rock Opera, A handful of Rain, Hall of The Mountain King, and Gutter Ballet.

Lucky enough to see Savatage twice over the years, both times at small clubs. Gutter Ballet (with Criss Oliva!) and Poets & Madmen tours. Would like to see Trans Siberian Orchestra sometime. Criss Oliva is greatly missed. Tough to pick a favorite album with such a great catalogue.

[@beetlebum7760]

Good ranking! I had to grin when you went through the strongest tracks of each album, because, if I'm not mistaken, you didn't even mention one of their ballads, although there are plenty of those in their catalog. Not even When The Crowds Are Gone or Believe, which are two of their greatest songs. I can just picture you listening to Streets and skipping all those piano ballads like A Little Too Far, St. Patrick's or Heal My Soul, making an annoyed face (although skipping’s not really fun on that tape of yours). I have to say Jon Oliva was at his best ballad songwriting on Streets. I'm even less a fan of Zak's vocals than you are. Depending on the mood I'm in, I can't get past his voice at all sometimes. I also think that after Streets, the productions got worse and worse (I guess they were digital from Edge Of Thorns onwards), Edge Of Thorns, Handful Of Rain and Dead Winter Dead sound really bad, which is another reason I don't go back to those albums a lot, although there are some really good songs on each of them. My top 5: Gutter Ballet Hall Of The Mountain King Streets Sirens Power Of The NIght

[@andrettski8686]

I first heard Savatage in '85 with 'Power of the Night' and the Oliva brothers have left a mark on my Metal soul ever since. R.I.P. Criss. #1-Hall, #2-Gutter, #3-Power, #4-Sirens, #5-Streets, #6-Dungeons, #7-Handful of Rain. 'Devastation' maybe the greatest song to end an album with ever. Came across 'Before I Hang' a GREAT song on a Japanese import. Savatage wouldn't fit on my licence plate so I went with SAXON, tells you what I think of Savatage. Also had an ACCEPT plate on my German VW back in the mid '80's.

I actually love Dead Winter Dead but I'd probably pick Gutter Ballet as their magnum opus. Jon is a phenomenal vocalist but I also like Zak a lot. I wasn't so sure about him at first, but over time I started to appreciate his style, which is obviously quite different from Jon's. I like his current band Circle II Circle too, even if I miss hearing him go for the really high notes like he did back in Savatage. But hey, that happens to lots of singers as age (and possibly other factors) takes away some of the vocal range.
