So, It has come to my knowledge that there are quite a few prog fans out there, hiding in the deepest delves of Rock and Metal
So, I have decided to create a Prog Rock/Metal thread, for discussing Prog artists. Many of the famous Prog Artists already have their own Thread for example, Dream Theater, Tool and Pink Floyd. So, this is for discussing other artists and helping others discover the wonders of Prog.

I (and I'm sure others too) would much appreciate it if this thread was used for Bands who do not have thier own Thread, so try and Keep DT discussion to a minimum.
So, on with the discussion

I like 'The Widow'.
I liked Mars Volta when they were called Yes.

I would like to go to a Dream Theater show.
Lucky.
Don't complain, you saw them when they were filming a DVD.
Yes, but I wish I could see them more.

I rarely miss school either but you don't know my parents.
My parents dont even let me go to concerts in school days.
The joys of not being at school
And on the topic of prog rock.
So, I saw a Rush DVD in a store yesterday.
I've seen very good comments about it, Stoic.
It's Adramelch not Adramelech
Ohhhh that's why.
I have the CD, not the DVD.
Three words.
this post made me laugh, for whatever reason
Have you seen them live? It's boring and unimpressive, the ability to ...
^Um I'm guessing that post meant he saw them at Big Day Out.
He could have seen it on TV.

They're probably talking about volleyball.
Where did this come from?
I have no idea.
Are you refering to the Rush in Rio, or another one?
I think that's what they were talking about.
I need to get my hands on some Rush one day, but I keep telling myself...
Yeah, Rush are a must.

That it is, my freind and I own both the CDs and the DVD between us.
That's the way I see them.
You can't go watering down Tool, O-NO!
Speaking of which, I purchased...
Hell no, Lateralus is their Masterpiece.
Oh I dunno, I think a lot of it is down to the fact I've had Lateralus...
I prefer Lateralus over Ænima any day.
Lateralus is one of my favourite albums ever.
Um.
What?
There was someone advertising and that post has been deleted now.
Yeah, hah.
I like Ænima quite a bit, but I'd say Lateralus is better.
I like almost every song off Ænima, but Lateralus is too good.
My exact thoughts.
Progressive Metal.
I don't mind that if it's heavier, but is it as wanky? (Please say no)
By wanky, I'll assume you mean unnecessary and self-indulgent solos th...
That just ruined it for me.
In all honesty, I dont hear much power influence, but if you look you'...
It appears that I might have to check out some Threshold.
Yeah, I've realy been ODing on Remedy Lane quite a bit lately.
hey now, i quite like train of thought.
Some of the solos were alright but they went on for far too long.
Petrucci did a great improv solo at the end of In The Name of God when...
I don't find a whole lot wrong with with 'Train of Thought'.
I was just thinking, it'd be so funny to hear Dream Theater try to do ...
Rofl at the thought of James LaBrie doing death growls.
It can't be worse than his attempt at singing like Hetfield.
i dont want dream theater doing death metal haha.
Where do I go after Aqualung?
Good album.
Radiohead are a band I try to like but just can't.
that's understandable.
same here; never really got into them
I haven't really heard as much Radiohead as I should, considering I ha...

Radiohead I've never really gotten into.

Aye!
How do Ashra sound like? I dont even recognize the name.
It's an awesome band, but you need a lot of time to listen to them.
Aha! Since they dont sound like Dream Theater I shall get a sample or ...
I absolutely adore In the Court of the Crimson King.
we are at odds brother
Innuendo, Man that song is awesome.
Innuendo is a great song and Brian May is an awesome guitarist.
Yes and Dream Theater rule the prog world.
Is that so?
Was he just in the studio at the time?
That's gotta be dissapointing.
I don't getcha.
wow.
I know, them Goldfish wtf!
I've liked Rush a lot for a while now.
Rush is one of the best bands to see live.
I can't manage to find a list of future Rush tourdates.
Oh no! How self-indulgent.
10+ minutes does sound a bit extreme.
I really like Rush's music, but i cant stand the vocals.
I find that with Neil Peart it's ok.
I'm listening to King Crimson's Starless right now.
Indeed.
The vocals have been getting better with the years.
Hmmmm what are the later albums¿?
/too lazy too look them up.
Hey have someone listen to a band name Karnivool?
Feedback and vapour trails.
You know, they're different on their different albums and even songs o...
I had one album, that i dont remember its name.
self-indulgence? if i was that good.
Self-indulgence on drums is like having to watch someone masturbate.
Hey, I like watching Dave Weckl masterbate in small doses.
Man, I think that Geddy's voice sounds badassed on 2112.
Eh, I painted that avatar of yours in my art class.
The chorus to Temple Of Syrinx has my favorite Geddy vocals on it.
and self-indulgence on.
Has anyone here heard Riverside.
I love Second Life Syndrome
Nah, Something for Nothing is better.
Amen to that.
I agree, I love Riverside.
Most likely due to the fact they've probably spent the most of their l...
You hate the vocals on Roll The Bones? Are you crazy?

Ah yeh, I think I'd agree with that.
Atheist is amazing - my favourite album from them is Elements.
My favorite still ranks as Unquestionable Presence.
I agree.
Anyone in here listen to the Red Sparowes.
I've heard the name before.
I love The Red Sparowes, ATSD is an incredibla album.

Ah, Dredg are one band that I really cant get into.
That's odd.
Yeah, Dredg are the catchiest rock I've heard in a long time.
I love catchy music, suggest me a few Dredg songs!
For some reason it just sounds corny to me.

[email]ghettoeddo@gmail.

I'll listen to that after I finish CWOA.
It is genius.
It's spelt dredg.
Using a lower case letter is not a variation on spelling.

PoS is prog rock with very few metal moments.
