Seeing as Prog Metal is such a diverse genre I was wondering what peoples favorite band in this genre is and why. What album is your favorite, what do you think of this bands live preformance, and anything else you would like to add. My favorite Prog Metal band is Tool because all of their albums are amazing. My favorite is Aenima though because it contains most of my favorite songs by them like Hooker With a Penis. Although I haven't seen Tool live yet I would say it looks like they have a sick live show with their lights and everything else that's going on. Other favorites of mine include Opeth, Symphony X, Ayreon, Porcupine Tree, Devin Townsend, Evergrey, Shadows Gallery, Star One, Circus Maximus, Rush, and Dream Theater.

Threshold is good one to check. Metalheads from my country recommend it.

pagan's mind, although andromeda and angra run a close second.

can't forget about adagio, either.

maybe i should think about why three of my favorite prog-power bands start with "A"...

Of course The Dillinger Escape Plan and Mastodon!
Dillinger Escape Plan because they allways give full energy and full action. They are dudes with a great sound and they all are great musicians. Miss Machine from 2004 is their best album - full energy for sure!
Mastodon because they are awesome, saw them in Gothenburg Metaltown 2007 and they kicked ass!

Well, my favorite bands within the Progressive Metal genera would be Queensrÿche and Symphony X, I really like Queensrÿches early age, especially Op:Mindcrime and Empire, And I like Symphony X's because of their own Romeo, god hes just the second best guitar player in the world.
I've only got one of their albums, V: New Mythology Suite, but I'll surly buy all of their albums later on.
Do know that Adiago is great, David Readman is just the best, haven't been able to find any of their album, haven't found one in the store or online.
One band that I also really like within the Progressive Metal Genera would be Masterplan, they are absolutely stunning, but I don't like their new singer so I couldn't put em up on my favorite list, any way even though I don't like their new singer I've thier latest album, but for you who doesn't have Masterplan's album called "Aeronautics", I would say, go and buy it right away, you can't really do anything else but love it.

Lets cut the text and bring up the thing that matters: Fav prog band is Queensrÿche and Symphony X, want some Adiago albums and love Masterplan's Aeronautics album.
that's all.

Yeah, I always took D.E.P. as Technical Hardcore (Mathcore) and Mastodon as more Groove Metal. Perhaps he means they have progressive tendencies? But obviously they aren't in league with your usual Prog.

Prog metal rules:
Quote:
Insist that your definition of prog metal is sacred and that the only progressive bands are the one you deem to be so. Accuse anyone who disagrees with you regarding the above of lacking musical intelligence and not being a true prog fan.

It seems that three of you are really true prog fans
