So, I'm familiar with a lot of bands that have a similar sound to the early works of both bands - such as Heir Apparent, Crimson Glory or Lethal, just to name a few. However, I've been enjoying Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime and Empire albums lately, as well as Fates Warning's first three albums with Ray Alder. So I was wondering, are there any other bands in this vein? I.E., melodic, progressive and somewhat commercial heavy metal with clean vocals that also comes close to hard rock at times? Some songs that represent the sound I'm looking for:

Ah, my favorite kind of music. Most part of which is shaped by lonely oop albums or demos.

I just realized he said first 3 Alder albums, not 4, so I had posted all this 'Inside Out' sounding stuff. Oh well. It's all great, and yeah Bear's post has got a lot of gems too.
