Does anybody know DragonForce? They are considered melodic speed metal, but I definitely wouldn't say no to having the word progressive in their title. The keyboards, vocals, and many of the guitar riffs are definitely progressive. They play faster than any other band I know, which may be a turn off to some people. I think DragonForce should be considered for PA. They have a few MP3s on their website, www.dragonforce.com.

Is this a serious question?  I like DragonForce, but I don't see how you could consider them prog.  Yes, they're all good musicians, and they have longer than average songs, but those don't  qualities don't necessarily make somebody prog.  In my mind, the thing that counts against them (in prog terms) is the fact that nearly all their songs follow a basic verse/chorus structure.  There's nothing wrong with this, but if a band wants to be considered prog (and I don't think they do), then they would have to develop their songs more.

They're not particularly good musicians - Herman Li is definitely a case of speed without substance. And no, they're not prog either..!
