Every attempt Dream Theater has ever made at a ballad has failed miserably, and I feel embarrassed for them. Their latest, "I Walk Beside You," was by far their worst, but really any DT ballad is horrendously full of cheese. When they're rocking out with insane keyboard/guitar tradeoffs they're great, but they can't do "sentimental" songs to save their lives. And don't even get me started on TransAtlantic. Spock's Beard entire "Snow" album is full of cheese. Open Wide the Floodgates... *shudders* |

I must say that for, probably the cheesiest band ever is the Flower Kings...thought I like to discrive them as muchy, rather than cheesy...then there are the few songs from Spocks Beard I heard...I find Morse vocals kinda cheesy...

Most modern prog bands are cheesy as hell... that's what puts me off a lot of them.

I can't help finding Jon Anderson being cheesy quite regularly...Homeworld lyrics are a mouse's banquet:
Truth is a simple place Here for us all to see Reach as it comes to you As it comes to me As I will always need you inside my heart Peace is a word we teach A place for us all to reach Sing as it sings to you As it sings to me As I will always need you inside my heart  |

I do enjoy a slice every so often. Though let's not take the cheesy comments seriously. Besides, I think those elements of cheese are what make Prog music fun at times. Besides sometimes the most cheesiest moments are the one's that are the most sincere and emotional. Let's not let prog music become so serious, that we can't have a little fun.   |

Most Italian prog sounds quite cheesy. And of course Dream Theater (though I like them) - Pull me under, surrounded, learning to live, the whole Scenes from a memory... |

Just to mention four. Iván |

Funny, when I'm drunk with a couple of friends (One is metalhead and the two others are progheads) I do one of two things: a) Sing Mr Robotto (If we're playing poker) b) Play the Come Sail Away piano intro and try to sing it. (If we're on a card break) They always pretend to be angry, but this is like a tradition between us. Iván |

Pain of Salvation's BE Allmusic's review of the album sums things up better than I ever could: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:r6ge4j27 7waw\ As for some of the other bands listed, I do enjoy listening to Magic Pie, Dream Theater, and Spock's Beard (although I think ever since Nick D'virgilo took over the cheese has lessned to some extent, that is when it's not completely saturated with it like on parts of Ballet of Impact and most of A Guy Named Sid. Still it's doubtful Neal could ever pull something like Ghosts of Autumn out of his ass. ANYWAY......) I must admit, I find bands like Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Opeth, Coheed and Cambria, and most other Prog that has a metal/alternative rock influence to be much better in the lyrics department....... |

That's gotta be the worst review of BE ever written. Shadow Gallery has some cheesy moments. "Come down with fire I want to love you want to take you into my heart We'll cruise the starways And from the moment that we touch our love turns into a crystalline dream Fly where your dreams go With open eyes it's the dawn and you're alive No time or space here I walk in castles of gold Our love turns into a crystalline dream" - Crystalline Dream Edited by Dalezilla |

all of the above, esp. styx & transatlantic
however, i wonder why no one has yet mentioned PENDRAGON yet, the ultimate grand-masters of cheesedom. without doubt the top end of the cheesiness scale. cheez-o-rama galore... etc. |

progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

That is absurd, borderline INSANE ! His vocal parts on Heart of the Sunrise are some of the definite highlights in prog history. I can't imagine a person in his right mind, who actually listened to this song with an open mind, not getting captivated by the pure beauty of it.
