This thread reminded me of how much I hate Mike Portnoy's "metal" vocalizations. Does anyone love those?
I never thought he was such a great singer, but I did think it was cool how he was drumming the way he does AND singing at the same time. Plus, I always thought the "wicked high voice" singing he did on Six Degrees was funny and cool in a way - know what I'm talking about?

I like the colorization.
I also like the ones you mentioned (though never heard Vangelis), I just listed some more popular bands that some people dont like.

I hate them immensely. And I'm a huge DT fan.
They didn't bother me until the Systematic Chaos/Black Clouds & Silver Linings albums when they became more up front in the mix, especially in BC&SL. Before that, they were merely backround vocals, mixed with Petrucci's vocals too. I like to look at those 2 albums as the "Portnoy-era", preceded by the "Rudess-era", and followed by the "Mangini-era".

Hahahahah- You're lucky if your parents even like music at all. They hate everything that I like. I spend 1 minute tryin to show them my music and I get told "I'm not going to listen to it if its not something that I like, but we support you 100%." I even sold them 2 of my albums and then stole those same albums right back that night and neither of them mentioned it to me. They totally forgot and did not care. I tried to show them something else I wrote, which was classical music, and they asked me why everything I do is evil, and told me that my singer is an evil terrible person.
Also, most people hate the music that I love. People don't seem to be too fond of prog in Columbus, Ohio. I'm used to it to the point where I get enjoyment out of the amount of people I can get to leave a bar if they have one of those jukeboxes that connects to the internet.
A bartender once got pissed off at me for picking a bunch of songs in a row by Death and Atheist because he said I was "ruining his business" People were leaving and I told him it's not my fault they have terrible taste in music. He looked at me and said "This music sucks. Disturbed and Godsmack already made music like this." He couldn't tell I was playing albums from the early 90's.
What I'm saying is taht I'm used to everyone hating the music that I love. So it is pointless to make a thread like this on here because all you people have more in common with me musically than most even if you only listen to Neo-Prog. Ha

At least I remember them being THE prog band when I joined this site.
