other: Vektor: Black Future (or Outer Isolation). Because it's futuristic, extremely aggressive, violent and lightning fast but still everchanging, creative, hypercomplex and somewhat intelligent. Its the only progmetal I know that pleases me the way early Sadus does. This meaning: I'm not here on the PA-boards for the proggy metal. Most of the time I loathe it. I just happened to stumble over Vektor elsewhere and they reminded me of all the real, but kind of technical metal I once loved (and still do it seems). OK so I like some selected Voivod as well.

Throw in a couple of Threshold, Vanden Plas, Savatage and To Mera albums and I'm more-or-less happy with the list, I'd put Pain Of Salvation above Dream Theater and include "Be" but that's being picky.
What?

Not a massive fan of Prog Metal, but Scenes From A Memory is unbelievable.

I don't really get putting up a post on a forum about one genre (like this prog metal forum) that focuses on music that is generally regarded as not being in that genre.  Sorry, that was a really wordy way of saying "stay on topic".  That being said, for now I go with DT's best - Awake, Images and Words, and Six Degrees.

Other - Diablo Swing Orchestra - Singalong Songs Of The Damned & Delirious. I tend to prefer my metal instrumental, a little avant & with a bit of humor.

I mostly listen to stuff like Alcest, Neurosis, Shining, Arcturus, Ulver, shels, and the more droning and psychedelic kind like OM, Sleep and Boris.

Out of the ones listed I only much like Operation: Mindcrime.  This is a good representation of my prog metal tastes, though:

Ermm don't we (here at PA) file most of those under the two other Metal categories of Experimental/Post and Tech/Extreme (too lazy to check but they don't strike me as Prog Metal)

His question says progressive metal and those are all metal that is progressive.  Close enough.

Better answer than "lol none of that crap" for fostering discussion, isn't it?

Sure, but when you include artists from those other two "prog" Metal categories much of this pales into insignificance by comparison, aside from Pain of Salvation none of these (Traditional) Prog Metal artists would be in my Top 20.

You are right Dean. I should learn to refrain from posting on subjects where I have nothing constructive to offer.
But thanks Colin, you were actually right on the money.

LOL no offence intended - I had been tempted to list Opeth and In The Woods... albums before it clicked that neither of them were in Prog Metal, (and I'd forgotten that Neurosis has been moved out of Post Rock years ago).

Cheers mate.

It's been so long since I last listened to metal on a regular basis anyway, so I'm glad I getting back into it any way I can. Great work out music too, especially when I do it alone and am able to zoom everything out except for the music and my breathing. Through Silver In Blood is perfect for this. Feels like Yoga.

Alrighty then I will leave you guys to it *grabs sea shells and coat*

I'm not sure which category it belongs but my fav, always have and always will I guess is Orphaned Land - Sahara.
Innovative masterpiece.
