Queensrÿche
After leaving the group Babylon, Tate performed a few shows with a band called the Mob. He returned to the Mob in 1981 to record a demo tape. However, because the name "The Mob" was not available for commercial use, the band decided to name itself Queensrÿche, a modified version of the first song on its demo tape, "Queen of the Reich." The group went on to release its self-titled debut EP in 1982. After Queensrÿche signed with EMI, the EP was re-issued in 1983. The year after that, the band released its first studio album, "The Warning." That was followed by "Rage for Order" in 1986. Queensrÿche had its commercial breakthrough with its third studio album, "Operation: Mindcrime," which came out in 1988. A rock opera concert album, it reached number 50 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the charting singles "Eyes of a Stranger" and "I Don't Believe in Love." Queensrÿche had an even greater commercial hit in 1990 with the album "Empire," which peaked at number seven on the Billboard 200 and launched the Grammy Award-nominated hit single "Silent Lucidity." Queensrÿche's next studio album, "Promised Land," became the band's highest-charting yet when it reached number three on the Billboard 200 in 1994. The band's final two studio albums of the decade were "Hear in the Now Frontier" (1997) and "Q2K" (1999).
