No, actually, prog is more about songcraft. Metal is about riffs.

focusing on songcraft and hooks, songs and lyrics takes focal point, and its evident that like bands liek Genesis wich consits of 5 genreally good actualy song-writrers, in their own part, its no strange they also become popular, but they were expert in fusing songcraft With stellar instrumentation, and take ASIA, strong instrumentation, but after debute album songcraft left the window, Genesis managed to develop their Craft as songcraft and adjusting their instrumental prowes. Also songwriting is integral in metal more so then in prog also.

I don't really see the point in comparing two extremely large and expansive sub-genres of rock when there are so many releases, both good and bad, in both. The only way that one can accurately say one is better than the other is if they heard every release from both genres and compared them. (which is impossible pmuch anyways) And even if someone did actually manage to do that, it's still entirely subjective.

That's probably why most people immediately refer Dream Theater when I say that I listen to Progressive Rock.

You must be referring to the tropicasual dress code, seen in the first 20-something seconds of this:

OMG! I better warn Ozzy, Geezer and Tony, ASAP! LOL


No need, I already did.  They thanked me.  At least Ozzy, Geezer and Tony had the good taste to record with Rick Wakeman. 


I know that Ozzy guest starred on Journey To the Center of the Earth 2, but what album (project) did the other two share with Wakeman?

 
Rick played on "Sabbra Cadabra" from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

Of course! The one I still don't have.

How about 3?

1) Metal is basically just rock music amplified and bludgeoned. Folks were and are in tune with the genre before they even know it. 
2) Metal is not strange. 
3) Metal's got chicks in leather. Prog's got Ruth Underwood in a Mick Jagger inspired top shredding a xylophone.

Metal and hard rock albums used to have great cover art. Not so much anymore.

Hmm....the only band on that list I can listen to is Opeth, and  mostly the later ones by them.
I must be hardwired to dislike 'metal'.
