OK I have a confession to make , when I put the list together I used my CD collection as a source for the information , in theory this sounds OK doesn`t it ? wrong !!!! you see I was playing my copy of Pagan`s mind and the CD wasn`t seen as I collected the info ... so what happened was I missed Pagans Mind |
I am so pissed at myself doing that aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 
(in the end you can only select 25 bands theres no way I was going to fit all the prog metal bands I love in the one poll anyway) Posted By: W.Chuck

Planet X, Psychotic Waltz, Sieges Even, Superior, Zero Hour, Clockwork, Sun Caged, SUE, Madsword, Indukti, Dark Suns, Spiral Architect, Vanden Plas, Vauxdvihl, Payne's Gray, Ricochet, TOC, The Mystery Hall!

No to be honest thats where fates warning comes into the picture , spiral architect owe alot of their fantastic ability as a band to Fates warning infact they adore fate warning , so if you want to vote for spiral architect just vote for Fates Warning its easy that way

Definitely Queensryche. One of the first prog metal bands I would say, and with a discography containing only masterpieces, probably from The Warning to Promised Land. ------------- waiting for the showers to stop... |

Haha, I was scared when I did not see Opeth's name appear in the
alphabetical order. Now that I saw them, and your post about how you
listed the bands as you saw them in your collection, I am frightened to
hear that some of your collection may be out of alphabetical order (I
am really conscious about my cd order). *** Is Nevermore considered prog metal now? ------------- You can't possibly hear the last movement of Beethoven's Seventh and go slow. ~Oscar Levant, explaining his way out of a speeding ticket |

That's a tough one but I go for DT followed by PoS followed by Symphony X followed by LDT followed by Queensryche followed by Opeth followed by Threshold followed by Labyrinth followed by Circus Maximus followed by Vanden Plas followed by........? ------------- We're only in it for the music!!! |

Tough Question if were are talking about just currently id say Opeth, but if we are taking their whole career into consideration id have to say Dream Theater. ------------- If anyone knows where I can get a copy of some Flute and Voice (Indo-Prog/Raga Rock) albums please PM me! Many thanks! |

As I said at the start of this Poll only 25 bands could fit .. sure bands like Evergrey and Spiral Architect deserve to be here but unfortunately I couldn`t fit them in and still maintain a nice even spread of diverse prog metal trends reflective and useful for collecting the right information on how prog metal relates to prog rock (which is what I`m trying to understand here) ... some bands had to be sacrificed , and I regret that as wel l... sorry again

Rush are one of my favourite bands I even consider them to be one of the first true prog metal bands and definatly desearve to be on the list. But I feel that bands like Rush and Dream Theater will always run away with all the votes and ruin things as far as research information goes. Its the problem with all these Polls, mention certain bands in the poll and the data you get back is un reliable. Stll I knew what would happen when I mentioned DT in the poll but I can`t help but wonder what people who voted DT`s second preferance would have been ? and I`m sure if I mentioned Rush they would have probably been very stong in the poll as well

Even being an "old guy stuck in the 70s" I know and listen to almost all listed bands (thanks also to my 15 yo son). My vote goes to Symphony X, followed by Opeth and Angra. ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

Right now I'm really into Pain of Salvation. I listened to the
sample on PA of Beyond the Pale, and it is enough to make me want to
buy the album. I love it. Besides PoS I like Dream Theater, Tool, Riverside and Opeth. |

I just wanted to point out that Opeth, Dream Theater, and Pain of Salvation all have many more votes than Tool. And where is Riverside? Their last album was "prog Metal" for sure. |
