Drew: those are all FABULOUS albums.
I am somewhat of a metalhead, in fact I am about to become the one in charge of admitting metal CDs to my college radio station's catalog. some current faves to check out: Burst - Origo Daylight Dies - Dismantling Devotion The Sword - Age of Winters Scar Symmetry - Symmetric in Design Sepultura - Under a Pale Grey Sky Children of Bodom - Follow the Reaper I am not too into brutal music, but I am a big fan of melodic death metal and all sorts of doom metal. Lately i've been into lots of slow, sludgy stuff like Cult of Luna. |

I believe most of PA members (not all) are also metalheads I started with Bay Area thrash (Metallica, Exodus, Overkill etc.) and Maiden of course I also enjoyed the NWOSDM (new wave of Swedish death metal) which is currently declining... bands like In Flames and Dark Tranquillity are producing fairly commercial albums.. and I also listen everything from Camel to Emperor... |

From the Netherlands and you know of Buffalo... now that's surprising. Their debut mentioned above was very Sabbathish. Their next release was trash. Only made two, I believe. Great singer. Great band and indeed great singer. Another for the off-topic- Budgie: Australian bird, American band; Buffalo American animal, Australian band.. sorry, it's late.[/QUOTE] , this is something for the Just for fun section. [/QUOTiE]
i think Budgie were Welsh |

I think this is because they both have so much in common, both pride themselfs on profecent playing (most of them; I can reasonably say that some metal artists could outplay the prog greats and the other way around.) and both are heavly influnced by classical music. The only difference is metal is less interested in the Jazz of prog and therefore tend to be more structured and are more about the band than indivdual. Metal is also more about "sight and sound" as well as emotional effect which is evedent from their brand of classical influnce. Alot of metal is a direct result of prog (Iron Maiden for example) and is a natarul evolution from seventy's prog. If you look at the list of influences from a metal band, amoung the Led Zepplen/Deep Purple/Black Sabbath listings 1 out of two times you will see Genesis listed and mabye even Yes as well as a slew of other prog bands. Just like the "original" (as in originality) prog groups did not emulate their influnces only were inspired by them to make something new, metal did that in the eightys. I always thought that Neo-prog were just copyists that did not dare to fully branch out and explore what was going on. A real simple way of expressing what I am saying is if alot of metal bands from the eightys to today started thier carrers in 1970 they would have probobly been prog bands. (note... this post is obviously not about "all" metal bands, because metal is a style and not a genre it encompasses all genres and therefore some are not relevent to this discussion).

I really like Fantomas, System of a Down, Metallica, Beanbag, Mudvayne, The Melvins, Dimmu Borgir, Black Sabbath, Rammstein, Meshuggah, Opeth, Dream Theater, Apocalyptica, Primus, Rage Against the Machine, Faith No More, Finntroll, and Eluveitie. My friend is going to lend me a Children of Bodom CD soon. |

I like metal as well, but not as much as a couple of years ago
Favourite bands:
But I must confess: I recently got rid of part of my metal collection (and bought prog albums with the money it got for it) Edited by retuow - April 22 2006 at 16:30 |

I love Meshuggah (though I definately consider them progressive), Korn,
a couple Linkin Park songs (they have a knack for really good
choruses), Slayer (Reign in Blood > Master of Puppets IMHO), Iron
Maiden, etc.

It's a shame that even on a Progressive Rock website the generic, dull and boring groups are listed more often that the creative side of the metal force.
