Dream Theater.

I enjoy Scenes From a Memory 2, but I find the rest of their music to be corny and just damn right awful.

I can't really seem to get into either Fates Warning or Voivod.  They sound like progressive versions of Iron Maiden and Motörhead, respectively, both of whom I like and respect, but I've never really been able to really enjoy these two bands.  Any suggestions song/albumwise?

Dream Theater, Opeth, Porcupine Tree and I guess Prog Metal as a whole, it's just not very pleasing to me for some reason.

mmm... I must say I can't get into Pink Floyd... I guess the concept of PF is more interesting than the music itself... I could say I like more the covers of Floyd songs with other bands... but what album do you advice me to give them a second chance...??? then, I have to say I hate Radiohead music... Yorke voice is horrible... the same to Muse... I cannot take that voice along with the music... the rest is find with me... just a couple of albums of Blind Guardian that really makes me want to thow the cd player away by the window... jejeje...
Change the program inside... Stay in silence is a crime.

What is a real example of fake prog? I know bands have pretended to belong to certain movements for credibility and sales but I'm not really aware of people doing this with prog.

There is so little guitar to get bored of. Thats why it seems so strange to me.

Yes- I had listened to most of their albums. Their music just does not work on me.
 
ELP- like Yes
 
Genesis- Peter Gabriel is great musician, though I am not a big fan of his music. After his era, boringgggggg!
 
Finally, there is a common reason I don't like Rush, Yes, and ELP: guitar! Their guitar sound makes me sleepy.

This is all a bit mad. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. BTW, what guitar sound in ELP?

EDIT: I was jkust wondering, what do you like?
