Most of all, i come to this forum to find some suggestions about prog music and know some really decent bands that i didn't know.!

I haven't heard PoS yet, but aren't they similar to Symphony X ? I like them, but just I'm not sure if I'll like them too.

Porcupine Tree, it's weird band. Very well talented, very important in prog world, but one thing keeps me still wondering. They occupy one whole side of musical genres. You know, they can play anything from almost pop rock sounds, through heavy, psychedelia, ambient. And this "Jupiter Island" is not my favourite one. But "Lightbulb Sun" is.

Ayreon, I've just written review on 01010101 (bad spelling ? :-D ), well, at least on first half of this monstrous album.

What about this, is it helpful ? Exclude these bands you already know and choose some you could like:
