What is your favourite progressive metal genre and why? It'd be nice to give some band examples by the way about the genre.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Growing up listening to Burzum and Ulver - and now listening to a lot of avant stuff, I find it difficult to see any kind of relationship between the 2 of them.

Extreme prog metal(maybe)is my favorite kind of music as you know.But I voted the 1st option because Opeth belongs there.

I don't have favorite genres, only favorite artists, smug smug...
Also I've never seen prog metal genres categorized like this so I need to think...
Anyway, my fav progressive metal bands are Opeth, Psychotic Waltz, Enslaved, Voivod, Anathema, The Gathering and Neurosis.

I am....I've only just realised that you were way ahead of me and and spelled evil both ways. You already made the joke without my help.  Next time I will read a post properly.

Progressive Metal, with Opeth as an exception if Im in the mood. Dream Theater, Symphony X, Liquid Tension Experiment, Riverside, Pain of Salvation, Indukti, Planet X, Derek Sherinian, OSI, Fates Warning are my kind of prog metal bands. I could never get into anything with excessive growls like death, black, extreme, -core, etc... I was always more into classic heavy metal and thrash metal. Ive also come to the conclusion that "post-" anything is usually not that good to my ears (except post-bop  )

they're just an extension of DT
I guess I'll also mention I like a lot of DT members' solo side projects, like Petrucci's solo album, and Jordan Rudess' albums like Feeding the Wheel and Rhythm of Time. LaBrie's stuff is ok, not my favorite.

Are they? I disagree. They do music that DT doesn't do.
