Forgot to post this here. This is my latest take on the albums that influenced progressive metal


Making a separte list for albums that are true progressive metal that were influential in building the subgenre

I like that list.......

I agree! Great selections, and solid justifications.

PA had it right the first time. Start with Queensriche, Dream Theater, and Fates Warning and go on from there.

We could go back to the Who, Zeppelin, Iron Butterfly, Hendrix, all the way back to the Kinks. Way too much division to sift through, IMO. Proto metal/hard rock, Blues Rock, Acid Rock...where does it end, as I can see no clear beginning.

^ No, I think it's between the two-- you can't start with Dream Theater nor with Zeppelin:  it's Voivod, Maiden, Ozzy & Randy, maybe Watchtower.   DT formed in '85, well after progressive metal was under way in the Bay Area, London and Quebec.
