You might wanna try some Camel (Mirage, Moonmadness) or King Crimson (In the Court of the Crimson King). Those are always good starting points. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste.

Who the hell are Dream Theatre? Are they british? Get Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme from Genesis Close To The Edge, Relayer, Tales From Topographic Oceans, and the Yes Alfum from Yes Dark Side Of The Moon, Animals, and Wish You Were Here from Pink Floyd *dont know Nightwish* Other bands you'll probably like
That should be a good start ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ocellatedgod" rel="nofollow - last.fm |

Ozric Tenticles is a band that sort of combines being a jam band with prog rock. I really like the CDs "Waterfall Cities" and "Erpland". (They are all instrumental) ------------- If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud! |

Try... for prog metal: Porcupine Tree Pain of Salvation Opeth Shadow Gallery Sonata Arctica Symphony X rock: Van der Graaf Generator King Crimson The Flower Kings and you already some stuff by yes, floyd, and genesis. Like meurglys said, close to the edge by Yes is a must. since you're just getting into it the metal is easier to get into. while VGG takes a couple listens. Check this site out for some d/l's http://hoffmanshome.com/prog/index.htm - clicky , and I'm sure you know about http://www.progarchives.com/ - this one too. -------------

| If you like jamming, try KING CRIMSON albums from their 1972-1974 timeline. Try "The Night Watch", a live concert from Amsterdam 1973. |

you should try frank zappa, i always found phish to be a mixture of greatful dead and frank zappa. joe's garage is nice and if you like jazz a little bit you should check out the grand wazoo! maybe you could download the mp3 MOYA from godspeed you! black emperor from this site because gybe is a really great band (but that's just a personal favorite) |
