You left out three of the very best and legendary: Psychotic Waltz, Watchtower and - my favourite - Fates Warning! Unbelievable! So I had to give my vote to ... tadaa ... Voivod.

Condition Red and Opeth are both brilliant, Opeth especially is so danged surprising! I heard "Damnation" a while back, and I swear, I NEVER would've believed it was them unless I saw the cover and booklet, it was cool they got to explore their Symphonic /Folky side. Tool I like a fair amount of but unfortunately it starts to blur together as they tend to use the same key for a lot of their songs. Those guys need to change it up a bit. ------------- People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction! www.myspace.com/theowlsmusic |

Sorry people, but Uriah Heep is the leader of this pack. They created the genre for a start! ------------- And Jesus said unto John, "come forth and receive eternal life..." Unfortunately, John came fifth and was stuck with a toaster. |

I beg to disagree - they are prog metal/operatic metal and are listed on this site as prog metal!!! I have also seen them listed as Power metal. Nightwish Rule!!! BTW I don't see Within Temptation, After Forever, The Gathering or Lacuna Coil listed in these archives BUT Stratovarious, Therion and Rhapsody are. Are these groups not progressive metal???? -------------

Probably Dream Theater, but i voted Symphony X cause they are more metal and more adventourus. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

At the moment its symphony x. I love russell alans voice. They are DT with a less skilled drummer and better singer. ------------- I'll see you on the Darkside of the moon... |

Shame there's no Shadow Gallery, Fates or Threshold in the starting line-up...I've gone for DT overall purely for their complete catalogue, though its a close run thing.... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

| I wonder why Opeth is left off these polls so often, as they are clearly the best progmetal band. |
