I often think that progressive metal is an oxymoron.  It is metal with lots of twiddly, noodly bits.  So, prog rock for me is vastly superior.

It's progressive rock. Prog metal isn't subtle enough for my tastes. People tell me to initiate a listening with Queensryche (misspelled, I'm sure), and I have a feeling I'll have to dabble in that direction soon enough because I've played all the old stuff to death. It's nice to know that 'ryche is a domestic band, though. Saw its lead singer on an episode of That Metal Show and he came off intelligent, assured, and focused, so I'll be checking them out soon enough.

I love progressive metal, but I don't particularly care for Dream Theater. I've always fancied the likes of Symphony X.

I`ll be a little so so as I`ve been into DT, Tool but not many others as I`m not a fan of the metal prog like most of you all... but its not that I`m in to the metal side of prog. so I`m saying I`m a fan of both styles... so no vote...

I've spent more time with listening to prog metal, yet I love them both. (And recently I can say that I tend to listen prog rock more often.)

I always considered Tool to be progressive art rock more than prog metal

Only recently have I begun to appreciate metal and prog metal. My preference still is for regular prog rock though.

Cynic is phenomenal. Saw 'em in Boston.
And I believe that we ain't seen nothin' yet. Just wait.

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.
