Making a choice is kinda hard, isnt it? I know some of the bands arent rly prog but, who care, they are good. Personnaly, I'd choose Opeth Ghost Reveries cause everytime I see a poll with any Opteh song or album to choose from, i choose it |
. I'm totally addicted to Opeth... I can't wait to see what albums of these you like the most since most of them are my favorite metal albumsReplies:

Blackwater Park, no doubt about it. (Although Ghost Reveries is a great album as well.)

You're missing some key ones, but it's gotta be Crimson by Edge of Sanity. A truly underrated prog-death metal masterpiece, and one of my all-time favorite albums.

I voted for colors, for me it has the most variety in styles and even though I love black water park at certain points it drags.

Well there is Scenes From a Memory which is one of my all time favorite albums but hell, I gave my vote to Colors because it's just awesome as hell! White Walls is one of the best metal songs made on 21st century! ------------- Breathe in Breathe out http://www.myspace.com/constantineoffinland |

| Ghost Reveries, easy. Now had you included Cynic's Traced In Air album, this would have been a much tougher decision. I like a lot of the bands listed, but you listed very few albums by said bands that I felt were good enough to be chosen. |

| This time I obtain for non prog bands, so I've voted with Megadeth, Countdown is a great album, follow by Pantera - Cowboys my fav from them, excellent and full of great tunes and Testament - Practice what you preach is a great thrash album , technical metal. |

| Slaughter of the Soul. Far from being prog but undeniably one of the best metal albums of all time. It's the Reign In Blood of the 90's. |

First vote for Annihilator's 'Alice In Hell'.  But there are plenty of milestone thrash metal albums missing. Given that we are on a prog forum, the results of the poll were unfortunately VERY predictable... ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

I only have a few from this list but heard tracks from most - I'm so one-eyed, I can't get past Meshuggah - I'd imagine they'd be hard to beat. I should get me some Atheist, Cynic, Dillinger, Animals As Leaders, Gojira etc. coz they all sound mightily impressive......... |

Cynic Focus is by far the most prog metal thing on this list, which also includes/doesn't include some very interesting titles IMHO. Both Unquestionable Presence and Elements are better records than Piece of Time IMO. Also, no Death = wtf. ------------- "A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous. Got me?" |
