Where i come from Eloy are as famous as Dream Theatre, which is not really. But Dt are the worst of the lot.......or maybe Gong and all that Canterbury nonsense.

And your reasoning for this? Overrated is such an annoying word when no
reason is given.

Would go with Radiohead........just think they are a modern band with a little more brains behind them than most of the drivel out there, but they are not prog, at all.
Also, even though I like Pendragon, I always think they pale in comparison to many of their contemporaries, simply coz Nick Barret's voice is just so amazingly 'average'...

Oh yeah, and Eloy.
Most irritating singer ever. But then again, they're not really famous.

Styx I strongly dislike, so that was easy. I only own Lateralus by Tool and it's pretty good, I'd give it 3/5 stars. Some other popular Prog Metal bands are Dream Theater, Tool, Symphony X, Ayreon, and Pain of Salvation, and I love them all except Tool who are alright.

Lateralus is their best album!
well I'm not trying to change your opinion, but,

I'll go with Marillion as well.
I don't really consider Styx to be prog.

I'd have to go with King Crimson....I love the Lake era albums, but I've never managed to truly enjoy the Wetton era.

You listen to Rush the least but you got it twice in the list?

Hawkwind are pretty bad ... infact I like them lots because they are so crappy .. sometimes bad is good in a strange way , I mean how does an inventive creative mind know untill he gives its try ?

ELP for me. I have BSS and Pictures at an Exhibition and I just plain don't like keyboards/organs when played the way Emerson plays them. I want ethereal and supportive keyboards, not at the forefront.
Also, if the MP3s on this site are any indication of their overall musical output: Pain of Salvation
Opeth would be OK, but they're so depressing and I don't like growling vocals.
All the other big ones: Rush, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Marillion...I all like very much. I could get into more bands that I like not so much, but this is a famous prog bands topic.

My choice for this is Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I could never hear any music from them. It was all Emerson mashing those keys. Should have called the band Emerson, Emerson and Emerson.
