Dream Theater.
I enjoy Scenes From a Memory 2, but I find the rest of their music to be corny and just damn right awful.

Although Octavarium is my Favorite I argee that parts of it are corny but they are still awesome. Maybe you could give them one more chance?

I don't think you have a problem with Edge of Sanity. I think you have a problem with the progressive death metal genre as a whole.

The Prog Death Metal genre is a good genre, not my favorite, but it is one of the top.

Hey! My first post!!
I would say Dream Theater. I don't know why but I just can't get into them.
I feel like I must be missing something, but God knows what...
I listen to a variety of Prog from Mars Volta to Rush to Porcupine Tree to
Yes to you name it...

Spocks Beard is good if you have never listened to them. So is Genesis, but with Dream Theater I say just keep trying and you will see how awesome Rudess is... oh I mean Dream Theater.
And Rudess too.

Seconded, together with Gong. They must represent prog's airborne divisions during an air traffic controller's strike. Thing is, I want to like them but have never yet made it through Space Ritual or any of the Radio Gnome critters in one sitting. It just doesen't go anywhere or make me feel anything. Perhaps you need to have your consciousness erm...heightened to be properly receptive to this stuff ?

Not necessarily. You have the wrong expectation. The music is not supposed to go anywhere, as you expect, it just floats. Allow yourself to float with it. That is the secret for most early Krautrock too.

Whilst I don't particularlyl like them, I can see what people see in Gong, Rush, the more avant-garde Gentle Giant, most prog-metal (my thing is symphonic prog).
For me, the band I just can't 'get' is Van der Graaf Generator.

For me it's is Porcupine Tree. I only have one album but I've listened to it twice already and I still can't get into it.

Twice? I had to listen tens of times to Pawn Hearts (VdGG) to like it. But it was worth it.
