I was looking for this guy under "Prog metal" and couldnīt find him on the list. If John Petrucci (solo) is on the list shouldnīt Kiko Loureiroīs solo output be there too?
Angra and Dream Theater are Prog Metal.
 
Loureiro has released one solo album called "No Gravity" which is far more diverse than Petrucciīs Suspended Animation album. 
What are your thoughts on this amazing guitarist?

Just been looking at the list (Prog Metal) again..

Should Shaaman be on that list? They sound very Power metal IMO, whereas Angra definitely belong there.

Has no one heard Kiko Lourieroīs solo album?
The title track "No Gravity" is awesome!

I'm not a big fan of Louriero as skilled as he is, and I sometimes questions the reasons why Angra are featured here, so I wouldn't be in any hurry to add him to the database.
 
I think Angra/Shaaman/Louriero are primarily power artists.  They add some interesting elements such as the Hispainic themes, but rarely have I listened to any pieces by them that are more prog then power.

true, most of their elements are power metal
they have added some prog elements especially in Holy land which is excellent
haven't heard Kiko's solo album though but I suppose it's 'power based'...?

Itīs sort of a mixture of Vai and Satriani with a bit of "Brazilian bits" in places. No itīs not power metal at all. Itīs all quite moving music really.
