ALOT of dream theater is cheesy.

Magic Pie is cheesy cliche. "i believe in a better future, i will give shelter to the poor! give me your hand, ill show you the door!"  plus birds chirping at the beginning of the song (biggest cliche ever) = CHEESE

listen to Hella

I find all of the Spock's Beard material to be filled with cheese.  Just hearing Morses voice brings on the smell of cheddar.  Ayreon is also high on the cheese factor.  Albums like "The Electric Castle" are full of cheesy lyrics and sound effects.

I would go for Anderson's voice... (not saying by this that it is not extraordinary...just...a little unusual)
 

 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.

     When Zappa did cheese, it was on purpose, and very funny.
But most progressive after 1976 is already swimming in
fondue...as we get to the 80s, the stench becomes
unbearable...the solo projects by ex-Genesis members (not
counting Gabriel), especially later Tony Banks reak to high
heaven of stinking Roqueforte!!! Like Toto on steroids!!!
Agghhhh!!!!!!

It's not borderline anything...it is called personal opinion based on personal taste.

You must accept that we dont all like the same things.

I think alot of modern prog bands have some element of cheese, basically cause they're trying too hard - Spock's Beard, The Flower Kings, Symphony X, Magic Pie, Wobbler, all those new bands with all songs 15+min.

Statements like this are quite annoying. Why does this thread exist anyway? What is the purpose of such a thing? To piss off other members of this forum? That's the only reason I can see.

...as Tony R said....it's all about personal taste.

That's what I was hoping someone would say when I opened this thread.

Prog Metal (from the 80's especially) has it's fair share of cheese.

Have to agree with that, I'm a big Flower Kings fan and from the bits I've heard of Wobbler they're interesting too but I have to admit that sometimes  Roine Stolt is the king of cheese, in fact he's the emperor of cheeselandia, the very godhead of cheesedom.
The entire closing eight minutes of Stardust We Are is cheese on a stick (with extra cheese and a side order of cheese). Those closing 4000 or so bars could have been done in oh.... 32 bars, with a bar or four to spare. It just goes on and on and on, each phrase cheesier than the last.
Hmmm.... then why do I still love it?
Perhaps I am a worshipper of cheese, a cheese-eating I surrender to it monkey, a cheesefinder general.

I love that song!

Anyway, I always thought Rush were quite cheesy at times, with The Trees and Passage to Bangkok.
