Well fellow peasant, their early stuff is more hardcore speed metal. I'm not too familiar with all that stuff. The albums I would recommend would be:

Tales From the Twilight World (this is the album they began to change on, but it still has some of their old speed influences)
Imaginations From the Other Side
Somewhere Far Beyond
Nightfall in Middle-Earth
A Night At the Opera

Tales from the TWilight World/Imaginations for their best power stuff, but i'd have a feeling Follow the Blind will be the cd you grow most attached to.

That too. They're all awesome. People who say new BG sucks are wrong.

I didn't recommend A Twist in the Myth because I think that would turn someone off of BG if it was the first album they heard. Definitely listen to the older stuff before getting that one.
