Due to all the debate over Progressive Metal in the forum lately,I created this very simple poll. Either you like it or you don't,it doesn't get any easier than that. Guess what I answered??

Er... could we have a "take it or leave it" or "it depends" option? I'm not so closed minded that I dislike an entire genre, so do not fall either side of the fence. I think that it's generally overrated for what it is, but it deserves top marks for having a go. More focus on the composition and creativity (ie the MUSIC) rather than the execution and production (ie the techniques and technicalities) would be a good start. That's just one reason why I'd choose A.C.T. or Fantomas over Opeth or Dream Theater any day. |

I think it's a good thing that the poll doesn't have a "I'm being indecisive" option ... if you like some Prog Metal bands, you like Prog Metal. Only if you're sure that you don't like a single Prog Metal band, you should choose the other option. BTW: You have been very silent about my Prog Metal categorization project ... any thoughts? ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

It's not overrated , it just happens that a few bands ( I.E. Dream Theater) get too much attention.
No, they are not trying to turn this into a "Prog metal" site .They are trying to better catagorize the archives , and make it easier to find what you are interested in. helping those of us who like prog metal and want to find new band/albums. Give the guys credit , its deserved . Some of us actually appreciate people like Mike, Bryan , Jody etc. the ones who want to help this site grow ,and are making it happen.

Because the intitial approach already was wrong (and clearly is proof for my statement). Had the initial approach been: "I suggest that some of the major genrés become more organized. I volunteer to do that for prog-metal.", I'd be with you. But it wasn't. It was a mere suggestion of re-organization of prog-metal.

It is not that I dislike prog-metal in general. There are some bands which are listed under prog-metal which I do like (Adagio for example), but these bands are also bands which I would NOT put into that category, if I had to organise this site. What irritates me most about some prog-metal is the pubescent attitude "Look what a strong and heavy guy I am!" If I were still a teenager it might probably appeal to me, but I am not. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Adagio are an amazing band, very professional and ambitioned musicians and quite sophisticated songwriting. But they're not very diverse in their choice of musical "tools", it is mostly centered around classical piano parts and Power Metal. Initially I placed them in the Symphonic category, but like Symphony X they are very close to the traditional metal sound, that's why they're now in the Power/"Heavy" category. Just out of curiosity: How would you describe Adagio - how would you "tag" them (multiple genres)? ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

MikeEnRegalia and Progtologist: As I understand it, you two (if there are others, this includes you to) are working on the organization of prog-metal. I agree with this. I think one of the propositions Mike made in the original thread in the Prog Music Lounge, to make "Prog Metal" a seperate entitiy from "Prog Rock" yet still include it on this site, is a great idea. Even if that is not what you plan on specifically doing, I support your project fully. Carry on. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

Early Heavy Metal and Hard Rock were pretty much interchangeable as terms. The music is based in the riffing structures of the late Heavy Blues bands - many of whom moved away from their blues roots to play more riff-based Hard Rock style music. The band setup is more or less the same - lead guitar with plenty of soloing, bass, drums, and often a rhythm guitar as well as vocals. The 5-piece setup is classic for both Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Hard Rock tended to focus on the traditional blues themes, but elaborated them into celebratory themes of lust, life and luurve, and the music became swaggering and testosterone-laced. The rhythms became cleaner, but retained much of the swing of the original blues bands. (Think Aerosmith or AC/DC, etc.). Heavy Metal focussed more on cult, dark or occult themes, and the music became darker - the riffs tending towards use of the tritone interval (e.g. E -> Bb). The rhythm guitar particularly used more fuzz and distortion and the rhythms became more constant, eschewing any notion of "swing" or anything that might indicate some sort of cheerfulness. (Think Blue Cheer, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Slayer, etc.). Of course, there's always been crossovers, and bands that played some metal tracks and some hard rock tracks and it's not black and white (Think the Scorpions, Blue Oyster Cult, Saxon, etc.) - but I think that covers the basics. |

There´s good music among metal prog. Definitely. However.....oh what the hell ¡¡. You know what I really hate of metal prog?. There are some, or a lot of songs there that for many minutes sound exactly as any ordinary metal band, then they start playing synths to make it more bearable. Other songs are nothing but plain metal. Some of them are even sung with that barking style as any Sepultura crap, and then they show a passage of a piece of music completly different to metal for a minute of so before returning to the barkings....That´s nothing but making metal with the intention of being considered prog. That´s cheesy. I see no conviction on that. Still, I´ve heard great songs from Metal prog bands..Not for being prog, but for making original, creative, interesting, diverse and sophisticated compositions. |

Speaking for myself,I am not trying to turn thus into a prog metal site.I am just trying to help make the prog metal section,which I think is very disorganized,a little more organized. While I think you are a very knowledgeable and intelligent person,you are pretty biased towards music you don't like.Well,let me say it this way...you are pretty biased towards prog metal.If it's not some obscure RIO,Zeuhl,Krautrock music you basically don't want to heard about it.Bad attitude to have,you ought to be a little more open than that. ------------- |

Nowhere did I say I don't like prog-metal, and it is not relevant at all whether I like it or not. I'll repeat what I said in another thread: I'll restate my opinion: The whole project was started badly. If we go re-organizing sub-genrés at all, then let's tackle the big ones first (Art Rock and Symphonic). At least the proposal should have been something like this: Had Mike started a thread like that, he would have had my full support. But the way he went about it - pfui. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

BS.You are just upset because Mike and a few other people(myself included) took it upon themselves to do this and didn't ask for anyone permission or opinion first(how dare we!!).And it also galls you that the few people who took the intitiative and did something did it with prog metal FIRST. ------------- |

No, I am upset because this is clearly not an attempt to reorganize the site for the better (for that something like I wrote would have been the appropriate move), it is just making ballyhoo for prog-metal. And, by the way, I would have opposed it the same way, had someone started something like this for Krautrock or any other genré. If we are to re-organise the site, fine; I'm all for it. But don't start a half-baked and half-hearted attempt like this. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

YOU HAVE GOT SOME NERVE.FOR ONE THING THIS WAS NOT HALF-BAKED OR HALF-HEARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of thought and one hell of a lot of work went into what we did. The best thing to do is have collabs who specialize in the other genres do the same thing.I love all prog,but my passion is progressive metal.Believe me,if my passion was symphonic I would have attempted to re-organize symphonic.It just so happens that people that were willing to take the time and put some effort into it were fans of prgressive metal. ------------- |

It is half-baked, because you concentrate on prog-metal only; I already outlined how it should have been done. What would have been wrong with a suggestion like the one I gave and volunteering for prog-metal on your side? You would still have got what you wanted, if reorganizing prog-metal was your goal, but you would have included the bigger aim of a reorganistaion of the whole site. But no, you had to make some ballyhoo about prog-metal. Once more: This is NOT because I dislike prog-metal, it is because of your lopsided approach for a reorganisation of the site. Read the proposal of mine again, as I think yours should have been; you would have had my full support then. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

It's a flawed question, because there are so many prog metal bands with VASTLY different styles. Pain of Salvation sounds NOTHING like Arcturus which sound NOTHING like Psychotic Waltz which sound NOTHING like Fates Warning which sound NOTHING like Symphony X etc. etc. etc. For those that voted that they don't like the genre, I think it has a lot to do with ignorance and an assumption that all prog metal bands sound like Dream Theater (these are the kind of people that only listen to music from the 70s... you have to be a LITTLE close minded to post at a prog forum but we're talking extremes with this crowd). |

I think prog metal and progressive rock are closely and undeniably linked. Many people who like prog metal bands like Opeth and Dream Theater come to PA and discover bands like Yes, Marillion, Symphony X and others, thus increasing PROGRESSIVE ROCK's overall fanbase. So, I believe for that reason, prog metal should be kept on this site. Since it's here, why don't we try to organize it for the convenience of the readers? This is logical to me. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want! |

You miss my point. For convenience of the reader genrés like symphonic prog or art-rock are way overdue of a reworking. Why don't we tackle them all? Would this have been suggested, with the ones who proposed a splitting-up of prog-metal volunteering for prog-metal, I would have been all for it. But the way it was done it was only to direct some spotlight at prog-metal. I repeat: Why did those who suggested splitting up prog-metal not suggest a general overhauling of genrés and volunteer for prog-metal? That's what I would have called some improvement of the site, and I would have supported it immediately and would have applauded them. The current suggestion is just an attempt of prog-metal heads to get more attention for their genré. And I repeat: This has nothing whatever to do with my liking or not-liking of prog-metal; I just see an imbalance to the site if we follow the given suggestion. I would say just the same if someone suggested to split up any other sub-genré of prog. This is not the prog metal archives, nor is it the Zheul archives or the Krautrock archives. Either we split them all up or none. ------------- BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

Both bands were progressive, so "progressive heavy rock" is appropriate. One could just as easily classify AC/DC or Led Zeppelin as Heavy Blues, Heavy Rock, Hard Rock or Heavy Metal - and be right each time. The term "Heavy" as applied to rock music originated in the 1960s, and is used by Grace Slick on the "Woodstock" compilation album during her band introduction speech, which runs something like; "OK, people, you have heard the heavy bands, now it's time for morning maniac music". Heavy referred to the seriousness and earnestness with which the bands played the music, as well as the opposite to the "lightness" of sound and philosophy of the more folky, dancy and "peace, love and happiness" type bands. Terms like these have a grounding in reality, and are convenient "labels", as you put it, but can be readily interchanged and crossed-over. Deep Purple's music grew out of psychedelia and the blues, and Led Zeppelin's grew mainly out of the blues, with a dash of folk. These are the same roots that Prog Rock had. Prog Metal's roots are mainly in metal - anything else seems largely forgotten or cut off. The "Prog" aspect of it comes from doing something a bit different to the rest - using odd time signatures, making it a bit more technically complex by and extending elements like riffs, bridges and so on. These are not common techniques in "traditional" Prog Rock. The usefulness of subclassifying it seems limited to those who have a deep interest in the genre only; to those not immersed in it already, it all seems rather confusing. That's only my perception, of course - I'm sure that your hard work is very useful to fans of Prog Metal.

Of course my work is primarily useful to fans of Prog Metal. The Prog Rock categories are also quite confusing for newbies and generally only useful to fans of Prog Rock ... Isn't the following a good procedure for getting to know Prog Metal:
IMO my categories can be helpful in finding similar bands. Currently the Avant/Experimental genre is confusing, but in all the others there is a much better chance that people find similar things. Example: Someone likes Dream Theater and tries the next best band in the general Prog Metal top 100. He might end up with Devin Townsend, or Psychotic Waltz, or Opeth. With the sub genres there's a chance that he might find Pain of Salvation or Shadow Gallery first ... ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/users/Mike" rel="nofollow">Recently listened to:

I'll be 100% honest, I like some Prog Metal, it's not my favorite sub-genre, but there are good and bad bands as in any other genre, for example yesterday got a Pain of Salvation album and found it pretty Good (Thanks for the tip Proctologyst and Bryan), but I get bored after 10 minutes of Dream Theater (Not saying they are bad or suck, just not my cup of tea). What I don't like is the desperation to consider any metal band with keyboiards as Progressive, as I don't like to see so many AOR bands compared with Kansas or Alternative bands mentioned as the new Pink Floyd.
