I just gotta go for the "Into all of these option" because I do not dislike any of these bands...

 

although there are some I prefer more than others, I'd still have to admit that they all have their charmes...
Interested in my reviews?

Out of the ones i've heard there, i'd say Symphony X. I like "The Oddysy" song but not really into the rest of their stuff.

I don't own any Symphony X, but from what I've heard thus far... the musicianship is impressive, but it doesn't seem overly passionate or emotionally moving to my ears.

I also don't own any Riverside yet, but what I've heard, I liked.

Same with Pain of Salvation... I already really like the title track on Remedy Lane, have listened to it repeatedly. It's definitely high on the list of purchase priorities for me.

Dream Theater, I still appreciate them... but I think I'm finally growing weary of them.

Tool is absolutely phenomenal. I find their music extremely cathartic, and their conceptual depth astounds me. Can't wait for my copy of 10,000 Days to arrive (In the mail now!)

Queensryche was groundbreaking "back in the day". Rage for Order and Operation: Mindcrime were absolutely ahead of their time. Those albums are definitely Prog Metal to my ears. These days... I'm afraid they've lost their magic. I'm giving Mindcrime II a chance, though (it's coming in the same package as 10,000 Days).

I just realized I hadn't voted! LOL

I went with Symphony X, although that may change once I actually put some time into it...

The only Melodeath albums Opeth released were the first two. The rest is Progmetal, well, besides Damnation.

See, they aren't prog metal either.  Probably the best description is Melodic Death Metal, or Gothenburg Sound.
 
Opeth are not Death Metal - they are only associated with that style because of the vocals.

The only band on that list I DO get is Tool.
 
The rest all fall under a similar style, Tool is completely different.  Tool probably shouldn't be thrown in with those bands anyway, its hard to say whether they are really prog or metal at all.
 
As far as bands in the archives go I like tons listed as prog metal, but none of the ones that actually are prog metal...

    I'm afraid I don't 'get' prog metal much at all and therefore the bands listed I have limited tolerance for but I can understand why people are really into it and,for what its worth ,I think that's great.Prog metal is at least just as important as any other 'genre' in prog.[don't you just hate that term]
Looking still the same after all these years...

Never really saw the big deal with Queensryche.

I enjoy all the others except Pain of Salvation - I still haven't listened to anything by them so I can't comment one way or the other.

Tool's video's are great, but when listening to any of their cd's, its too nine inch nailish, sometimes too industrial and too repetitive

"Don't get?"
 
Perhaps as far as opinions go, it would make more sense to say that people who like the groups I dislike don't get them? Anyway, I refuse to admit that any of the groups in the poll deserve to be used as a measuring stick for other good progmetal groups.

I like all of 'em, except for Symphony X and Riverside, which I haven't heard.

I absolutely don't get Fates Warning and Threshold. Nothing special, just plain heavy metal with a bit of prog influence.
