Now, a lot of us are from PA too, so we like our prog metal here. What flavor is your favorite? Take a vote. I intentionally left out the plain vanilla prog bands like Dream Theater and Pain of Salvation (Ok, so Queensryche and Savatage are a stretch) because that's not what this poll is about. As per usual I'll refrain from voting for a bit. ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore.

My favorite kind of music is extreme prog metal.But because my favorite band is Opeth I voted for this sub-genre.My alternate vote goes to prog black metal.

I don't know. There should be a genre category for just regular prog metal with bands such as Pain of Salvation and DT. But of the groups I voted for Prog Death.

^ I think that's still under "general prog metal"...... which isn't here. which is why I haven't voted. I will not let down my DT fanboyism! ------------- http://bit.ly/kZR7BC" rel="nofollow"> http://andywebb.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - My Bandcamp

Probably either prog death or prog sludge. I love Faith No More too, who are listed as prog alt in your poll.

Of the options, prog death (though prog black and prog power are close).

Yeah, it kinda is.  Aside from their big poofy hair, there's nothing "glam" about either (especially Savatage).------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

I said it was a stretch! Though I definitely think Queensryche has been categorized as glam before. I couldn't even find any progressive gothic bands!  And prog alt-metal and prog industrial aren't exactly around too much either.------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands.

Yeah . . . Thats the BIGGEST one that pisses me off, they've been called "Hair Band" as well (See "The Warning" and especially "Rage for Order") just because of the Pics on those 2 albums. QR has to be one of the fore-fathers of Prog Metal (maybe even Power Metal, as Helloween definitely made it a the genre it is today).
Hehe . . . But Emo derrives from "Emotional" (Damn "Dash Board Confessional", theyre to blame! Whinny bastards...) These past 2 days at MMA have really pissed me off . . . sorry folks .(I need to listen to some extreme death metal about now ).------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |

By the way . . . Sure, this sounds very Glamm :And . . . Some of the heaviest stuff I heard in 1983 (originally recorded in 1980). "Rage" may have been one of the 1st Thrash/Speed Metal songs next to Accept's "Fast as a Shark" and Loudness "Speed". Though I'm sure their are some hidden gems out there. ------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |

Try to look at it objectively. Does this: Sound too far off from this? ------------- Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want. |

Haha! The ol' "Empire" Card! Well what can you say, its their most commercial album but DAMN its a good one. I can only admit that its a Progressive Metal Band that had a very succesful and commercial Hit Album .I mean, I was thinking I was bad with "Sub-genres of sub-genres" .. . . nope, will not go with Progressive "Glamm"  .Also their approach to this sound of Empire was soo polished and almost perfect, it just seemed far beyond a Glamm moniker, with their subject matter, even if a "Love Song" the lyrics were more thoughtful and thought provoking. As many Prog Metal bands take this approach. I'll add these to the Queensryche Campaign (By the way, I've said before, QR have been a HUGE disapointment to me since "Q2K", but with "American Soldier" seeming like they could be coming back in the right steps . . . we'll see ):The piece that would set the tone for Promised Land The "Lets just go completely Prog Rock/Metal" Album! "Rage for Order" had its hints of the direction for "Empire" . . . (from the Building Empires Vid and Tour) The highly Influencial album and its Mini-Epic w/ the Late Michael Kamen's beautiful Orchestration . . .  P.S. if Skid Row did more songs like "Slave to the Grind" which is almost a Thrash song, I'd been a big fan . Sebastian is a really good singer though, he's NUTZ,but a good vocalist . . . Have you heard this Prog Metal band w/Sebastian? ------------- "If you're happy to be an Ant in the Sand Box, you're welcome to it!" -Forbidden For Progressive Metal and Prog Rock, come visit, request songs and explore at PrOgulus.com |
