Saga -influence on progressive metal

I think they have, from the operatic vocals, to the heavy guitars, to the classic influenced structured songs, from the fast sections and interplays, from the unisons betweem keybords and guitar, with melding progressive tendencys with fast and sharp aproach,

i defenitly hear Saga in Queensryghe and i hear  lot of Michal Sadler in Geoff Tates vocals,  but are their other bands or (other genres in metal that in some extent have picked up a trick or two from Saga,

they are by the way one of my favourite bands, and they are very uniqie band also, no one quite sounds like them
