Which genre do you enjoy the best? 

For me Progressive Metal, i like band like Opeth, Dream Theater and Tool alot, they create awesome music, i still like Progressive rock mostly Porcupine Tree, Blue Oyster Cult, Supertramp and Pink Floyd alot, but for Progressive Metal are better and better aggression!

I thought Prog Metal was also Prog Rock. And I don't see lack of agression in ELP's The Barbarian or KC's 20th Century Schizoid Man. Anyway, I enjoy Metal but usually I enjoy other sub-genres more.

I'm going with Progressive Metal for the 2st century as that's where I feel the next wave of real progression will spring from. I'm very impressed with U.S. extreme metal rocker's Cynic right now who I've had a chance to meet personally and I feel that they along with some other prog metal groups are looking forward to breaking conventions instead of staying within them. Progressive Rock has had it's glorious day. Long live the king is all I can say.

Agreed. What's your favorite Cynic album? Mine might still be Focus, even though everything they've done is beyond incredible.

I started out with Focus as one of my Fav's but as I learned why the band wanted to expand and progress their sound,  I started to listen to later albums like Re-Traced and Kindly Bent with a more open mind and actually 'got it', but Focus remains my favorite followed by Traced In Air.

^Well said! I've got a nostalgic bias for the year 1993 and all those amazing Roadrunner Records records that came out, lol. Even then, Focus was ahead of its time. 

Cynic and Pestilence inspired me to get my Roland GR55 guitar synthesizer Smile.
