Devin Townsend - Infinity Devin Townsend - Ocean Machine \ I was trying to put my list together and got stuck on Devin.. Is he really prog? I dont think he is. Maybe though. I am curious as to where you see him as prog. |

Hmm. Genesis - Selling England.. Marillion - Childhoods End (Prog? Whatever.) Zero Hour - The Towers of Avarice Yes - Close to the Edge Dream Theater - Awake Progressive rock and metal are my favourite styles of music, still this is all I can come up with. Also, Devin Townsend is one of my favourite bands ever, but I wouldn't say it's prog, therefore it's not on my list. |

Well if we're going to do it that way I think I need to change my list to Zero Hour - The Towers of Avarice Zero Hour - A Fragile Mind Redemption - The Fullness of Time Ayreon - The Human Equation since they're the only four prog albums i like >_< |

All I know is that prog metal came from prog rock and Townsend doesn't have much of the prog rock in his music. His music is weird and ground breaking, but that doesn't make prog. Whatever, I'm confused, I've been typing this post for like half an hour and this is what I came up with. Also, drunkedness. |

It's like the best prog metal album ever 
Also, I love the Volta, but I wouldn't call them prog either. My advice to you would be to check out the prog rock genre, you'll love it. A Fragile Mind is crap by the way, just wanted to say that. |

I think Terria could be considered part of the prog genre (not so much Infinity or Ocean Machine). Also bands like Mars Volta or Tool take a huge influence from 70s prog rock and have a lot of the attributes (long songs, dramatic, technical, concept albums ).
"influenced by prog" vs "sounding prog" vs "being progressive" gets kinda confusing I've heard a lot of prog rock. My general reaction was that it was good but then I'd never listen to it again :\ |

If Devin doesn't count then I'll throw in a few Symphony X's and some Yes (if we are including prog rock). |

LTE 1 & 2 - awesome instrumental prog music DT - Scenes from a memory - still their best release imo. Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle - awesome concept album. Symphony X - V - love all their albums but this one has something special. Spocks Beard - Snow - played this to death great album. On the virg - Serious young insects - Virgil shows why he's probably the best technical drummer in the world. Derek Sherinian - Planet X along with Virgil Donati created one of the best prog/fusion instrumental cds ever. Vanden Plas - Christ 0 great cd Queensryche - Rage for order hard to pick between this and Mindcrime but tracks like Screaming in Digital are classics. These are the ones that come to mind there are plenty of others talented bands with great releases but originality is something that a lot of prog/metal bands are missing. |
