What is "vanilla prog metal"?

   Sounds kind of derogatory depending on the context. I prefer the term "earlier" or "straightforward" prog metal

	I think it's just meant to describe Prog Metal in the vein of DT, Seventh Wonder, Queensryche, Fates Warning, etc. that sounds more like the classic incarnations of the genre rather than more extreme or avant varieties.

	I saw the term being used by some users on both PA and MMA and I don't understand what is it suppose to explain? Edited by Cristi - July 07 2012 at 22:46

	I would go to Queensryche early DT, Uhh possibly some Sabbath and Judas Priest I suppose. Just go to proto-Prog metal and reach around that era.

	You're going to have to provide some more background information, as I have no idea what on the planet Earth you're talking about.

	I honestly can't figure it out, sounds sarcastic like the term "hair metal" or something (not that i like the genre but the term is mocking)
