Overall, probably THERION, though they're progressive metal rather than
metal per se. Of the symphonic bands, perhaps SINKADUS.
REVOLUTIONARY ARMY OF THE INFANT JESUS were fantastic too, with
three outstanding albums, although only on the fringes of prog (more a
folk/psychedelic/industrial crossover, but still very proggy). Can't say I
really rate any of the bands in the list.

But hey! Preferably just the Fish era...

(Although I have to admit there are a couple of great albums by Hogarth, but just a couple!)

I like NIN but Reznor's work is in NO WAY prog.Pure Industrial music.

If Dream Theater were on that list, I would vote them as #1.

But since they are absent, I'll have to vote for Porcupine Tree (with Ozric and Marillion as VERY close seconds!).
The more that things change, the more they stay the same.

If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

The story goes as follows....

Before Marillion signed to EMI they were called Silmarillion and as such entered a Battle of the Bands contest, which took place at the Mad Hatters Club in Luton, UK.  (Marillion came from nearby Aylesbury except for Fish who didn't).  My brother was in a "punk-pop" band called Looks Deceive and like Marillion got into the finals.  Anyway, my brother takes great pleasure in telling people how his band won the contest and beat Silmarillion.  What he doesn't tell people was that hot favourites to win Silmarillion didn't show up for the final as they were in London doing their EMI showcase gig (I believe) and the rest, as they say, is Fishtory.

I vote for "Arena"

And this same flower that smiles to-day   
   To-morrow will be dying.

Carpe Diem!

This was hard. I'm disappointed that Spock's Beard is not on here.

 

Anyway, I voted for Marillion.
