I ask because I am a fan of that era/genre of music and could never figure it out.

Well, because:
1.) they are pioneers in the progressive metal subgenre
2.) Operation: Mindcrime might be the greatest album ever released -- to this day I'm not sure which was the better album of the 1980's - Operation: Mindcrime or Thriller
3.) Empire was an excellent album, too. As was The Warning and Rage for Order.
Now, I don't think that they are one of the greatest bands of all time. But they are really, really good. They have one absolutely transcendent album, and the other older ones are good too. The combination of Geoff Tate on vocals (God, he's amazing) and Chris DeGarmo on guitar is legendary.
