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

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

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)

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.

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)

The thread creator wanted bands that start with letter "A". Maybe he wanted to continue, with the rest of the alphabet, who knows. Smile

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

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

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.
