I just like searing vocals, the thundering base, awesome solos, and sometimes even the quieter prog rock type songs that appear sometimes on these albums.
What should I be listening to or buying records of?

Sounds like you might enjoy the Power Metal genre, which is basically a modern take on 80's hair metal. Blind Guardian is one of the standard bearers for that genre, if you like awesome guitar riffs and solos then check this out
If I ever feel the need to get my viking on, I blast some Tyr
And if you want pure unabashed cheese, Dream Evil is awesome
