Yeah but I feel that Crimson's Lark's Tongues in Aspic was the birth of prog
metal. Lark's Tongues part 2 sounds similar to something Dream Theater
would write (but a bit more interesting.)
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Sure. IMO these influences on the Odyssey - and also Train of Thought for that matter - can be traced back "through" Pantera to Metallica.

Incidentally: I don't think that any of the bands which were labelled "Heavy Metal" in the early 70s have much to do with Prog Metal specifically. Show me a prog metal band which sounds like Deep Purple, but not like any modern Metal band.

Metallica, too, I just noticed it. I listened to ENTER SANDMAN by Metallica and you can easily notice the similarities to Dream Theater's AS I AM.
This question can't be really generalized, there are too many different bands and on every new album, taking influences of every band they like and this can be new bands as well!

Heh!

It's not just Enter Sandman by Metallica that has *influenced* Prog Metal... or Dream Theater specifically...
