Let's get this out of the way right now: melodies belong in the NINETEENTH CENTURY, and I highly disapprove of anyone using them, much less prog.
Otherwise, an '07 troll with 182 posts, interesting.

Actually, that's right... (even though it's false in this case)... Why would it be so terrible such a combination? It actually sounds good! And, to these ears of mine, way better than Bon Jovi meets Bon jovi and much better than Gentle Giant meets Gentle Giant....
This thread is like alcohol meets lack of proper sleep.... terrible results for the brain, that can cause...

I want somebody to write/mash up this song. I have to hear it now.
Maybe throw in a little U2 too, so this hypothetical Dream Theater has a chance to rock out!

I was just listening to Gentle Giant this morning, I don't listen to old prog-rock much anymore, but it was cool hearing them again. Their feel for the quirky funk is pretty cool.

Leave him smell the feces and deal with his own flies.

Maybe I'll start taking you seriously when you manage to get the band names right.

lol. Melodies are what makes the best music. Music isn't about trends. That's why you move from band to band quickly because they can't write melodies which will keep you interested for more than a couple of listens. Rythms only get you so far. You just follow what band is popular among metal friends

Okay, but it's pretty clear Henry's post obviously had :P stamped all over it. Maybe it's just me and I've gotten pretty used to his posting style, but it seemed obvious to me. As much Avant-garde as he listens to, he still listens to music with melodies in it (even if that doesn't make up a majority of his listening I'd imagine). In the last 3 months upon checking my last FM profile, the most listened to band is Meshuggah. That's right MESHUGGAH. Meshuggah are barely about melodicism, yet I listen to them very frequently. I also like Schoenberg and his 12 tone serialism works, which are entirely atonal and very unmelodic, but nonetheless it's good music to my ears that I can listen to over and over again. Your post is just completely ridiculous.

When I heard Messhuggah I laughed. It's image music and it's very amatuer. Similar to Devin Townsend. Very average music and a big reason why I don't rate modern rock usually.

Personally, I find if a thread puts forward an argument or debate to which I can find nothing positive to contribute, it can be better all round for me to abstain from posting, as opposed to inserting randomly negative comments which serve no other purpose than to wind up those who may want to discuss the subject concerned.
