actually the vast majority of the list doesn't sound like q'ryche, especially early.
i have everything from that list. even the demos from atomik cocktail that are not on the RR release(and for good reason!).
i worship last warning,medalyon, lord bane,VAUXDVIHL and first edwin dare but for different reasons.how 'bout a completely personal style like lord bane and the gods, vauxdvihl? i didn't know that this makes me q'ryche fanboyo.except if also yngwie(biggest influence of mr. kollman from e.dare ) was q'ryche clone..... i'll put it to my the things i learn everyday list .
this reminds me some fool in youtube who wrote that buddy has similar voice to dick-in-son. yeah, perhaps dickinson even played the flute and draw the PW first cover also.....
Do DEAD END sound like early Ryche? Haven't heard them, but it's difficult to imagine a japanese band sounding like that. If they do though, they must be the only ones.

As i said it's my own taste(and i didn't wrote they are all Queensryche's clones ),simply these bands have progressive and melodic elements that sometimes have their roots in early Queensryche(but also in Fates Warning,Heir Apparent and some others bands),obviously (and thankfully) they do not sound all the same!
Well, the issue is not whether those albums are good or bad, that's all subjective, but if the Queensryche influence is there or not, that is not very arguable. Doesn't matter if the influence's well-hidden or is quite small or if we're talking about blatant rip-offs, either it is there or it's not. It's obvious that many albums on your list cannot be put in the category this topic's about

DEAD END can sound sometimes like US Metal, but in no way they sound like (early) QUEENSRYCHE.
Dead End is a deformed son of a bitch. They take some pop melodies and hard rock influences, twists them and turn them around and mix them in their own kind of Heavy Metal on top of it. They really don't sound much like any other band I know of and especially not like early Queensryche.

This certainly doesn't sound like something I want to hear

The first album has it's moments.. After that they became more like artsy hard rock with passing Heavy Metal references. I like some of it but I'm sure as hell most here wouldn't.

That RECON album is absolutely great, more straightforward US stuff; too bad it's rare as hell. MASQUERADE are from Holland. I never heard their music; worthwhile?
Haven't read all the posts, so not sure if they've been mentioned yet, but Glacier released a killer MLP which has a bit of an early Queensryche sound..
Since Holland was mentioned,i HAVE to bring up Zarathustra,absolutely amazing demo dead on US metal,too bad this band went by unnoticed and had to break up.
How about the first couple of Elegy demos? half malmsteen half high vocals early Tate style=amazing
I am not sure any other Dutch bands were that close to the early Ryche sound,maybe Osiris?
I am so true my mp3 player's screen has slight ringwear
