Prog Rock: Styx
Prog Metal: Tool
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,

Genesis,  they're good, Firth of Fifth, Get em Out By Friday, and Supper's Ready are amazing. But the band is vastly overrated.

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

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'...

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

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.

Overrated; defintion for the purposes of this site only: Many people thinking that only certain songs are great, mainly because others had recommended it to them. They, in turn, recommend just those songs to newbies. Like a big, vicious cycle.

¡ Holly copy !, ¡ I forgot about Triumvirat !... But here's the thing: Eloy. They have a great album (Oceans); but the rest of their discography is just lame or uneven. I particulary dislike their first works; The power and the passion and else. Now, to be fare, I have to say that "Ocean" is an incredible exception; and the live album is not that bad; but I have a lot of eloy albums that I got hopping to see some kind of artistic growing from one to the other. I want my money back. Specially, I want the money I spent getting "Metromania". They are "Emule worthy". |
I'll buy all your Eloy collection. If you are willing to sell, pm me and we may cut a deal!
|
I don't like selling music. I would trade those records with you, but I fear I'm a little bit far away, and I don't have the albums anymore. I gave them to someone who actually likes Eloy, so I guess he's pretty happy now. Anyway, good luck getting them. I stick with the only one I like. They had their chance of becoming a great band, but the 80's ruined them.

I would like to just ask this: any of you, gentlemen, has, by any chance, a GIRLDFIREND !!!... I mean, girfirends usually provide us with a pleasure that, as I see, you have choosen to reffer at as "suck balls". So, what does that says about the way you talk about this (and the way you think about your special one`s). So rude...
|
Having said that, if ELP is into it, I'm interested. ¿Do you know were can I find them?.

Everything they have done until 'Promised Land' 1994, is AT LEAST respectable
