If you're going to go into a "punk prog" area. The Mars Volta is the closest thing to that..

Green Day != prog

i dont know about the dick lyric, or sugar song - again i dont know to much about them, other than what my friend has made me listen to etc etc

however - many prog songs are less than 5 minutes you know - clap, a venture are 2 that quickly come to mind.

and on green day- that could be an interesting discussion - is there such a thing as "punk prog"?

Green Day is NOT PROG!!!!!

well ok, they have a bit more than that to, but what about bands like tool? i wouldnt consider them all that prog, but they are on the list

 

Tool.

Odd time signatures, sheets of sound, complex rhythms, explorative percussion/set playing

 

System of a Down.

Unimaginative sheets of sonic sh*t.

I think there's definitely some progressive-ness to them. Just not enough to be sucked into the prog genre.

There was a hidden track off of "Toxicity" at the very end which sounded really world-music-ish; going with the whole east-meets-west type deal. But aside from that, finding a proggy track in their portfolio is a bit like the diamond-in-the-rough.

Not even diamond. It's just crappy cubic zirconia.

Use it as an argument to convince your friend, but IMO it's not even remotely prog related.

I just got back from camp (we were on houseboats for the weekend) and our boat mostly had metalheads on it, so we listened to the newest SOAD album almost 24 hours a day. We even adopted their song Radio/Video as our theme song because we played that one in particular so often. Some of their stuff is pretty straighforeward, but a lot of it does seem very prog to me.

although not overly a SOAD fan ( i do really like aerials)

I am sort of surprised at the lack of them being on this site, coz they are somewhat proggish, they have a lot of changes in the middle of songs from quiet to loud, to fast to slow etc. 
what do you think?

PS one of my friends is really into them and i keep trying to tell him they are somewhat prog (he hates prog)
I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked the Beatles
I asked Timothy Leary
