Riverside!
------------- Mikael Akerfeldt for fans of Opeth who don't like his growls (and generally the growls): If they don't like it then they are pussies. Extreme prog metal rules!!! |

Glad you liked SLS, it's obviously a great album. Rapid Eye Movement is another great album, that doesn't seem to get the love it deserves. Highly suggest it if you haven't heard any of their other albums. ------------- Persuasion deflowers your sympathy. |

Evergrey is like a progressive and more heavy In Flames (that was what i heard when i first listend to In Flames that i should check Evergrey out couse they reminds of In Fames just more heavy and progressive)
------------- you know Procol Harum created their own nieche in prog in the 70s like theyr own symph prog sound which they molded to their own IMO, quote Aginor |

| Well I love Evergrey, but Riverside will destroy this poll. Props to Evergrey though, no-one sounds like them :) |

Riverside, I detest Evergrey and after listening to one of their early albums, I wonder why they are considered prog?

Well I think they are... The music might not be the most complex, but the plethora of concept albums, variety, musicianship and unusual songwriting does it for me.

| I went with Riverside in a landslide... I was introduced to both bands via ProgPower USA concerts and Riverside put on a much better show and I enjoy their music a lot more, too. |

Not a 100% fair battle of course. Riverside is one of the top prog bands whilst Evergrey is (though very good) no where near that league.
I'm a big Riverside fan so can only pick them but I owe 6 Evergrey albums as well. Great band but their compositions are simply no match for Riverside standard. ------------- A day without prog is a wasted day |

| Riverside is one of the best prog metal bands, Evergrey is neither as good nor prog imo. |

A little notice: if Riverside is "underrated" band, then I'm a Chinese God of Fun. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

| Evergrey is more of a metal band with some prog influences, while Riverside is definitely a prog metal band. Aside from In Search of Truth and to a lesser extent Recreation Day, Evergrey doesn't have anything to really compete with Riverside. |
