Prog Bands for People who love Prog:
Dream Theater
Rush
Ne Obliviscaris
Aryeon
Opeth
Between the Buried and Me
Prog Bands for People who hate Prog:
Devin Townsend Band
Porcupine Tree
Toe Hider
Coheed and Cambira
Mastodon (post-Crack the Skye)
Tarby
I gave some non-metal bands in the list, but I'm looking more for metal bands, not just neo-prog bands with some metal influence. Many bands like Tool or Savatage I'm not quite sure if the belong in this category, so I'd also like some thoughts on those. If you personally hate prog but like some bands labled as progressive, feel free to share them.

Hmmh, I am not really that much big of a prog fan but I think some of Katatonia's albums such as The Fall of Hearts or Dead End Kings are good for this. It's soft prog but it's still a little prog. Maybe I would go more into depth mentioning The Contorsionist --> Language 1&2 is such a good introduction to this genre. And last but not least, Sleep Token, not the last releases, but the album "This place Will become your tomb' Also some credits to VOLA. They can also be good for people who are good on this. So yeah, these are some bands that are prog but are quite enjoyed by someone who doesn't really like prog.

66crusher from Norway https://66crusher.bandcamp.com/ They've released 5 albums, only the last two are on bandcamp. I have listened to their first two albums so far, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG55h1x0nHX09Ljl2vrBfaw/featured

I didn't see anyone mentioning Symphony X. Probably if going according to Ganondox's categorization they would belong in the first post.

Would Hakken or Soen fit here? Just getting into Soen; gives me lots of Tool vibes.
