well here's my opinion...Dream Theater, Queensyrche, Watchtower, and Fates Warning did define the genre in the late 80s however it was more of DT that brought the genre out more but anyway enough of that history lesson i would say Dream Theater CAUSE THEY ROCK MY FACE OFF

I think that there were two phases - the first one in the 80s led by Queensryche and Fates Warning, and the second one in the 90s led by Dream Theater. I call it "Classic Prog Metal" and "Modern Prog Metal" on my website.

I voted for Opeth... It is kind of strange music, but I like it a lot...

After listening to the Octavarium Mini-Opera Track (24 mins.) I surely vote Dream Theater...No doubt about it

Sucha difficult choice. The poll was for best band so I went for Threshold as they are the most consistant across their albums I have. But then there's Ayreon, DT, PoS, etc... etc.....Oh dear, have I made the right choice?

Pain of Salvation - the most original and fresh among them. Mention for Queensryche and Riverside ...

DT lacks too much of ideas ... Most od their longer songs start nice but become boring after few minutes ...

Psychotic Waltz is the best in my opinion, with Dream Theater a close second. It just seems to me that Psychotic Waltz has a very original style which I have yet to hear copied.
If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks!

I could never pick a "best" from that list. All those bands are so diverse and relevent in thier own ways. I could pick out favorites but not a definite best.
