   Hey guys im in need of some musical direction. I've been spending a fortune on cd's and i want to make sure my purchases are worth it. this site has been a great help so far but i need some more direction. 
Here's a little background of what I listen to

PT and all of Steven Wilson's side projects
Thrash (metallica, slayer, megadeth etc.)
Progressive metal like Opeth, Pain of Salvation, Devin Townsend 
More metal (High On Fire, Mastodon, Children of Bodom, Sepultura, Nile)
Some experimental stuff (Godspeed, Tangerine Dream, and Sigur Ros are favorites)
Plus some lighter prog (Ozric Tentacles, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Radiohead)
I know the list is diverse but I could really use some help. Thanks for the advice. 
O and please no Dream Theater recommendations. Thanks
