I know. That's why I typed "Progressive/Symphonic Metal", to cove both base metals, so to speak. Tongue

Prog Metal rules and it's not only limited to "Dream Theater".

yes, but symphonic metal is not a progressive metal subgenre. The roots of symphonic metal were in European power metal and gothic metal.

my least liked sub-genre. I just can’t understand the appeal of anything metal. But go for it- I’ll just sit out the polls

Not my favourite genre, but I do love Riverside.

Since I'm not really into prog metal and hardly know the bands and their music, I wouldn't know who to vote for, but I'm sure many prog metal fans would be delighted.

so here is a list of some bands mentioned in this thread, choosing the bands for the poll will be hard.For now I put a question mark if it's gonna make the list or not. 

Dream Theater
Opeth
Fates Warning
Psychotic Waltz
Watchtower Question - very important for early progressive metal, but it's got only 2 albums and a couple of EPs; strong contender though. 
Royal Hunt Question - not that progressive IMO, metalstorm has them labelled as "symphonic power metal" which I agree 
Shadow Gallery
Vanden Plas
Symphony X
Pain of Salvation 
Diablo Swing Orchestra Question  - not my thing, also labelled as avant-garde metal and symphonic metal, maybe I need to give them a second chance. 
Leprous
Mastodon Question - I've never liked them that much and I've tried, don't know if they make the poll. 
Myrath
Planet X   Question- maybe together with Derek's albums on his own, it's an idea
Beyond Twilight
Voyager 
Artension Question - maybe, not that known band I'm afraid
Riverside
Ayreon - I can't stand this band anymore, but will make the poll to please those who like Ayreon Embarrassed
Queensrÿche
Sieges Even
Pagan's Mind
Circus Maximus
Darkwater
Pantommind Question - rather unknown, but very good band. 
Redemption
Deadsoul Tribe
Arcturus Question - another band that I'll have to give a second chance 
Threshold
Communic
Pathosray Question - same situation as Pantommind
Zero Hour
Kamelot
Therion
Spheric Universe Experience
Adagio
Andromeda
Tomorrow's Eve Question - little known band beyond metalheads and progressive metal fans
Wolverine
Evergrey
Seventh Wonder
Anubis Gate
Conception
Dreamscape
Epysode Question - I remember being bored by this band, they also have two albums if i remember right. 
Green Carnation
Headspace
Ice Age
Mind Key
Orphaned Land Question - hit and miss with me, might make it because they're popular
Pyramaze
Suspyre
Time Requiem Question - very show-ish neo-classical progressive metal, a chore to go through. 
To-Mera
Vanishing Point  Question - a band I gave up on, maybe needs a second chance, I don't know
DeathQuestion  - important for tech/extreme progressive metal, might make the list
Gorguts Question - I only like their debut album, important for technical death metal. 
Pestilence Question - not my thing, at least i know what they sound like.
Atheist Question - another band I'll have to give another chance, hit and miss with me. 

Thanks for the bands suggested, it's gonna be hard to make a poll, plus i was thinking of bands that are not even in this big list.

Ok, I will create the poll tomorrow, I will choose 25 bands and then albums from these bands, like I did with the neo-prog rounds. 

If there are relevant bands missing from that big list (your suggestions so far), do post them, more than welcomed (what have we forgot?)
