Right well Im from Australia which dosnt get much prog exposure from around the world which I think sucks so anyway ive been on the site for a while now and decided to get some recommendations on prog possibly or just a general chat about music in general.

I like:
Clean vocals (Harsh only when necessary eg: Ayreon's Day 16: Loser when Rage explodes)
Good technical guitar work but not over the top
Piano and keyboards

The general bands I like listening to are:

Muse
Queensryche
Dream Theater
Fates Warning
Porcupine Tree
Riverside
Ayreon (Any of Arjens work is good though)

So yeh any help would be appreciated thanks guys

I'm from Australia too. Where are you. I'm in Melborune.

Anyway have you tried anything by Rush or Yes, or maybe Anathema?

I recommend Trans Siberian Orchestra for Christmas Music and also their CD Beethoven's Last Night.
 
Give them a listen, I think you might like. 
 
I also recommend Glenn Hughes, I have his 2 CD's of King Arthur themed music they were projects with other artists guesting. Very well produced.
 
Everything you have listed I have at least one of their Cd's - more of Dream Theater Wink.
 
Take care.

I'd recommend getting Judgment or Alternative 4, they were originally a doom metal band BTW.

Listen to clubsprints suggestions, excellent ones.

I'm near Melbourne, Florida. That has to count for something.
Bassists are deadly

Thanks for the vote . Melbourne Florida's gotta be some sort of sister city.
 
There's no news in the truth and no truth in the news.
