Symphonic Progressive Metal!  Try any one of these two:

Adagio - Sanctus Ignus

Adagio - Underworld

If you're unsure about the music, you can sample a few tracks here:

Ah, I totally agree with that. To me, buy all of Genesis' albums or download them from the year 1970-Trail, all of them are just excellent piece of Symphonic Prog.

Instead of Adagio, I'd recommend you pick up some Symphony X, Symphony X just is a better band IMO.

Thanks guys for all your suggestions.....keep them coming....

These are some prog CDs I've bought recently:

1) Pink Floyd- Dark Side

2) Yes- Fragile, The Yes Album, Magnification, (Re)Union

3) King Crimson- In the Court

4) Dream Theater- Octavarium & Changing of Seasons

5) Traffic- the one about high heeled boys, didn't care for really but I'll listen again.

6) Rush- 2112

7) Kansas- I already had a lot of Kansas but I was able to grab the Monolith album

8) Mahavishnu Orchestra - probably the best album listed here; MO was awesome. I was already familiar with John M.

9) Weather Report- already had Mysterious Stranger but I listed it anyway.

10) Chick Corea and Electrik Band - (of Return to Forever fame) this band is awesome.

...I'm sure I'm missing a CD but I've just started with this.

Got to admit that I'm very interested in the so-called jazz-rock, fusion, whatever you want to call it., and prog metal. Metal has always seemed sort of cheesy to me even though I liked the hair bands of the 80's.

I'm impressed with Dream Theater and I plan on purchasing Tool, Symphony X, and Pain of Salvation next.

Also, Closer to the Edge by Yes is high on my list as well as Chick Corea's new CD.

I'm also getting into early jazz....Jelly Roll Morton, Bix Beiderbecke, Bunny Berigan, etc. This is another bygone era that most people have written off as dead. It's good music....give it a chance.

you still haven't purchased any Genesis... try Foxtrot or Nursery Cryme first

if you like Dream Theater try Symphony X: V The Mythology Suite, Pain Of Salvation: Remedy Lane and Shadow Gallery: Legacy.

If you still haven't got Close to the Edge, its a MUST!

Happy listening, and welcome to the site...

2) King Crinsom- In the Court of King Crimson, red, discipline

3) Rush - 2112, permanent waves, moving pictures

4) Pink Floyd - wish you were here, the wall, dark side of the moon

5) Genesis- foxtrot, selling england, the lamb
