Ah yes. Anyway... We both are wrong in a way, I guess. I missed the letter thing, and Avantasia are not a prog band. Embarrassed
who said Avantasia are a prog band?

This thread is within the prog lounges, as I had said; and the OP has Avantasia in his/her list. Clear? Wink

Oh, yeah, you're right.  Smile
I have a non-prog band in my list as well. The thread tile is a bit ambiguous.

I think they were suggested for progressive metal but were rejected.

Well, this thread is within the prog lounges... Thus, I'll keep Keldian and Falconer outside of my list, both of which would normally be in my top 3.

So...

1-) Beyond Twilight (Denmark)
2-) Voyager (Australia)
3-) Thought Chamber (USA)
4-) Pagan's Mind (Norway)
5-) Adagio (France)

Three great bands right there.
Across the evening sky,
all the birds are leaving,
But how can they know,
it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire,
I will still be dreaming,
I have no thought of time.

I include two of the albums that I like the most:

- Agalloch (USA) - The Mantle / Pale Folklore
- Anathema (United Kingdom) - Alternative 4 - Judgment
- Anekdoten (Sweden) - Nucleus / From Within
- Angra (Brazil) - Holy Land / Temple of Shadows
- Arena (United Kingdom) - The Visitor / Immortal?
- Ayreon (Netherlands) - Into the Electric Castle / The Human Equation

Then there are a specific handful of musicians who made a specific album or didn't last more than one or two albums:

- Abydos (Germany) - The Little Boy's Heavy Mental Shadow Opera About the Inhabitants of His Diary (project by Andy Kuntz (Vanden Plas))
- Affector (Multinational) - Harmagedon
- Amaran's Plight (USA) - Voice In The Light
- Ark (Norway) - Ark / Burn the Sun (disbanded in 2002 with only 2 albums)

Prog that is hard or heavy rock as opposed to
prog that is fusion, pop, folk or electronica.

Fave Five by letter - A
1.Arena (UK)
2.Avatarium (SV)
3.Adventure (NO)
4.Avantasia (DE)
5.Alkemyst (SV)


Nice to see Avatarium mentioned ... but are they prog? They're definitely adjacent at least in my book, but not yet included on PA.


No Mike, they are metal. As in my thread title Metal and hard rock prog. I understand, however, the ambiguity in my title, so I have now changed it. As I mean all metal,which includes prog metal but only hard and heavy prog, which also includes prog metal

Like I said, write an admin to move it where you think it's a better fit. 

I don't have a problem with this thread. 

Okay, I got the message, and I guess, others got it to.

Funny, because I only see you stirring up drama in the first place, not "others" 
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

No, but there is a Symphonic Metal band called Autumn, so they'll be my final 5 X 5 choice. Smile

Yes you will. I'm posting five favourite albums by each of my Top 5 Hard Rock/Metal bands, of which there's an abundance for the letter "A". When it comes to the letter "B" though, I think it'll be down to just Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult. Smile

So far, I've chosen Aesma Daeva, Avantasia and Ayreon, so there's two more still to come. Wink
