	It can be said, in fact, that I COLLECT bands that sound like Mike Oldfield, who is one of those prog musicians that is a sub-genre in itself. More or less the same as Renaissance. I also like to purchase albums when I read they sound close to Camel in the melodic guitarwork (not the more cantebury side sound of the band). So THREE that aren't in the poll... talk about unpopular tastes in an unpopular genre.

	i like bands who sound like dream theater, but with dream theater the things that makes me love them so much is the different sounds they portray on their albums. E.g. in the instrumedly they are playing quite heavy metl then half way through the songs Jordan Rudess comes in with his little 1930's cartoon music (kinda cheesy) but it really flows

	After all the hard work you put into trying to write an all-expansive list of bands, I bet someone's STILL going to pop and say, "Hey, where's [insert band here]?!" Anyway, I picked Procol Harum. I love their sound and lyrics. They're extremely underrated, but I love their work.

	There are so many great sounds to choose from. I'd have to say it depends based on mood. But my personal favorite out there is Rush, Lifeson gives great tones off of his guitar, and Geddy and Peart add a whole other element. My 2nd Favorite is Godspeed You Black Emperor, then Yes, then Genesis, then Floyd, then Flower Kings and Pineapple Thief (Which aren't on here but that's okay). But all of the groups on here have a unique sound that I like. But again, it depends on mood.

	I tried to stick with genre defining bands, don't get pissed if your favorite isn't there. Select as many as you want to talk/write about. What bands do you like? Are you interested in bands that have similar sounds, approaches? Do you listen to bands that are similar, but never see them discussed in the forum or would like to tell people about them? Maybe you can turn someone on to the music you like by referencing one of the above bands. Don't be afraid to post links to websites or sound clips. Try to sell some records. Don't trash bands because of ignorance.
