I wonder why Opeth is left off these polls so often, as they are clearly the best progmetal band.

Shame there's no Shadow Gallery, Fates or Threshold in the starting line-up...I've gone for DT overall purely for their complete catalogue, though its a close run thing....

At the moment its symphony x. I love russell alans voice. They are DT with a less skilled drummer and better singer.

Probably Dream Theater, but i voted Symphony X cause they are more metal and more adventourus.

Dream Theater, without question, with Queensryche at a close second.

I beg to disagree - they are prog metal/operatic metal and are listed on this site as prog metal!!!

I have also seen them listed as Power metal. Nightwish Rule!!!

BTW I don't see Within Temptation, After Forever, The Gathering or Lacuna Coil listed in these archives BUT Stratovarious, Therion and Rhapsody are.

Are these groups not progressive metal????

Sorry people, but Uriah Heep is the leader of this pack. They created the genre for a start!

So I had to give my vote to ... tadaa ... Voivod.

He also forgot to list Threshold, my fave prog metal band.
