Prog-metal to a non Prog-metal head

ok, THEORION seems a good recommandation. I'll check it along with the other ones.
my taste is quite "the ususal progressive one" - all the great groups from the 70's - GENESIS, YES, GENTLE GIANT etc... (these are the first 3 )
I wish the admin could pass me from the "bugs" to "recommandation", it opened here by mistake. i feel very isolated here
thank you all

	Try THERION's "Theli" or "Vovin" albums. Very different kind of progressive metal to DREAM THEATER - these albums have strong classical influences, huge orchestrations and epic choral vocals. You will either love them or hate them.

	I would try Aenima by Tool first(it is their first truly progressive album),then give Laterlaus repeated listens(the album is a masterpiece,it's hard to gauge how much you will like an album if you only heard 2 tracks).

	Why don't you give us some more clues about your taste ... I can't make a recommendation when I don't know what your favorite (non-metal) prog bands are. BTW: Browse my audio link database (search for metal) ... MANY samples to try. I recommend Pain of Salvation, you definitely can't go wrong with them. Edit: BTW: The proper forum category would be Recommendations ... perhaps an admin could move it there? Edited by MikeEnRegalia

	Hellow everybody As a matter of fact, i do not interest in progressive metal very much. it is not my cup of tea. all those distortion guitars all the time, you know... but i would like to try just ONE prog- metal album, only one band. which album and band do you recommend? i've listen to dream theatre - didnt like it. I've listen to tool - quite impressed. BUT i heard two tracks from the LATERALUS album - they looked quite similar to each other. SO shall i try another band/album, or shall i try TOOL? what are your recommandation for me, progressive-metal heads?
