| I've got three Ayreon albums (Human Equation, Electric Castle, Dream Sequencer) I really like them, but they are so sonically busy that I have problems focusing on all the stuff that is going on. So for that they get my No.6 position. |

I have a fair sprinkling of 21st Century Symphonic Metal favourites too (including Avantasia), so I could add those to the human equation later too if you like.

Yes, it says Fave Five, so I'm choosing five favourite Hard Rock/Metal bands beginning with the letter "A", just like you did at the top of the page, although I can't promise there'll be exactly five albums by each artist.

You could start at the beginning with Aesma Daeva's debut album and then work your way through. That's what I usually do. 1999: Aesma Daeva - Here Lies One Whose Name Was Written in Water - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nQLLfKq6zQMJO1jkECUxSjjBtJuHAowEk" rel="nofollow -

I thought of these two as well, but I didn't know if we were supposed to add prog-metal bands.

I thought of Astra too, but I didn't know if they were heavy enough to include them here.

In my opinion, definitely 2001: Aesma Daeva - The Eros of Frigid Beauty  which I also consider to be Prog Metal, even the band is not on PA.

I don't think he violated anything. The thread creator still wants people to list prog metal and heavy prog albums. If you think he did, write an admin to move it where you think it fits.

The rules say: "Prog Music lounge This section is for general discussions about Progressive music. Unless and until an artist is included in Prog Archives, they are not considered to be "prog". In other words, discussions in "Prog Music Lounge" should only be about groups/music currently included in Prog Archives, or about progressive music in general.

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

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) ------------- Héctor Enrique |

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) |

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

who said Avantasia are a prog band? I think they were suggested for progressive metal but were rejected.

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