Once I responded to a question like this one. Once another PAer retorted that this was a prog site & to basically bugger off to prog-related. SO i now know better than to post my fave bands as they include non-prog acts. Big%20smile

Well, I like these bands (or composers):

Iron Maiden, Manowar, Rush, King Diamond, Genesis (not all the albums though), Helloween, Gamma Ray, Megadeth, Mercyful Fate, Judas Priest, Yes (only some of the albums), Jethro Tull (most of the albums, not every album though), King Crimson, Bruce Dickinson, Slayer, Sodom, Gentle Giant, The Beatles, Camel, Iced Earth, Rainbow & Black Sabbath (only with Dio or Tony Martin singing), Pink Floyd, Van Der Graaf Generator, Wagner, Beethoven, Mozart, Holst.

+ 1000 other bands... I also like some jazz and blues. It's mostly either metal or prog.

And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away
in the tidal destruction the moral melee.

Schizoid man, based on your favourites list (im only assuming here)I think you are really going to like Ayreon, definitely Marillion.Opeth and Symphony X are very hard groups to digest, I love symphony X myself, but I could never digest the "Cookie monster" vocals within the beautiful music, that is Opeth. It just didn't seem like it should have been there, to be honest with you i HATE opeth, becuase of the simple fact that they threw that style of music in absolute beautiful sections of music... it eritates me.

Thanks man, I'm actually saving up money to buy some of those artists albums. I will have to just try some opeth though, listen to some samples or something

and that is why I love OPETH and that's what make them prog and original in my opinion. This scary hardcore metal music mixed to the beauty of the prog world. Brilliant combination. Brilliant Band.
