I also really like the Vagabond S/T CD which contains the mighty Jorn's debut into the international scene!! The second had a few good tunes.

Knights through Realized Fantasies contain Ronni's best guitar work and tones. One of my all time favorite players. Since then, though TNT might have recorded some cool stuff, Ronni just phones it in in the guitar solo department relying completely on wah'd out cliché blues licks at hyper speed followed by that ridiculously over used machine gun picking thing. Hey Ronni...... that's a trick, a sound effect, not a strong enough musical discovery to base your entire style around.
I probably own more Ronni Le Tekro recordings than anyone on this forum. If you look at his discography, I own almost every single thing, including the fusion noodlings with Terje Rypdal and that CD full of his guitar playing mixed with a church organ. I have been disappointed with almost everything he has done since Realized Fantasies. My Religion is quite good, but it is an incomplete TNT album in my opinion because Ronni's lead playing is not up to the caliber of the rest of the recording or what he is (was) capable of.
Crap, I just looked at his complete discography and I own 22 of the 25 releases listed on there.

I own almost everything he as done (probably the same as your collection) including some live bootlegs and some of the later TNT and solo/collaborations stuff is not that great IMO. The best stuff as you stated is KOTNT thru Realized Fantasies. As stated above, I really like the Vagabond stuff a lot especially the S/T released, but it has Jorn Lande and you cannot go wrong with him singing!!!
The stuff after Vagabond is not that good except for "My Relgion" which is great and there are a couple of tunes off "All The Way To The Sun" that are very good. His soloing could of been better, but the rhythm/riffs and songs are solid. I do not own any of the TNT with Tony Mills since it actually is not good at all!!
