In my opinion, Rhapsody from the Turilli era and Luca Turilli don't have bad albums. Except for "The Cold Embrace Of Fear" I'll leave out the EPs, the live albums and singles, so I'll just focus on the full albums.
Top 5 tracks:
1.- Emerald Sword/On The Way To Ainor
2.- War of the Universe
3.- Dark Fate of Atlantis
4.- Arcanum (Da Vinci's Enigma)
5.- Gothic Vision

1.Rhapsody - Power Of The Dragonflame

2.Luca Turilli - Prophet Of The Last Eclipse

3.Luca Turilli's Rhapsody - Ascending To Infinity

4.Turilli / Lione Rhapsody - Zero Gravity (Rebirth And Evolution)

5.Rhapsody Of Fire - From Chaos To Eternity

The layout will be band/album/favorite song from the album
