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? -------------

Im from Sydney good to see other Aussies experiencing music like this.
I have tried Yes and they are great I must say. Rush as well. I have not tried Anathema out though thanks for that |

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
 . Take care.

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.
