So come on, give some credit where credit is due!
 
Dream theater (not a big fan of them, but are massively important to the rebirth of symphonic prog)
 
 
 
I won't deny the importance of Dram Theater in Prog Metal, but has absolutely no relation to the rebirth of Symphonic Prog.
 
Give the credit to the one who deserves it and it's PAR LINDH, who founded the Swedish Art Rock Society in 1991 and this is the direct cause of the rebirth of Symphonic Prog in Sweden and part of the sound of his band Par Lindh Project influenced the development of Prog Metal.
 
The existence of Dream Theater has no relation with Symphonic Prog's rebirth.

Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

What I don't listen to is not important, at least not for me Wink. So I will only name the Acid Mothers Temple, Red Masque, Psychedelic Monsterjam, Kangaroo Moon and Tiere der Nacht. Some of these bands are not in the archive yet. And at least Red Masque is a severely underrated band that deserves A LOT more attention


BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

I'm a follower of The Red Masque since they started specially because I virtually know Lynette (the vocalist), I bought  Victoria and the Haruspex as soon as it was released in 2002 if I'm not wrong, but hardly would consider them one of the ten more important modern bands because sadly they are very limited to a very samall group of people, despite they deserve more.
 
BTW: Lynette is member of PA but haven't seen her in a long time.
 
Now my ten:
 
  1. Anglagard: Icons of the Symphonic revival.
  2. Par Lind Project: Idem
  3. After Crying: Pioneers of Symphonic Folk
  4. Karda Estra: Developers of Symphonic Folk
  5. Dream Theater: Responsible of Prog Metal boom.
  6. Echolyn
  7. Glass Hammer
  8. Magenta: A perfect blend of Symphonic and Neo Prog
  9. Discipline: One of the strongest, more original and influential Neo Prog bands
  10. Fantomas: They blended Prog Metal and Avant Garde with great success.

not too much into 'modern' prog... Symphonic prog, based on what I have heard, today is dead creatively ...  let's face it  ..it was milked and milked dry years ago. Like Jazz...  Jazz hit it's great growth spurts when someone came along ..and turned Jazz on it's ear...Parker, Brubeck, Davis..etc... symphonic prog was a child of the seventies.. today... it is for a new generation.  When someone takes true symphonic prog to the masses... ie.. the kids here.... it'll make my list. Though would put Spock's Beard and TFK (emotion for projectile vomitting) in this if went to 20

a list of what I think at least.. are the important ones.. not groups I think did good prog.. for hahhaha.. it isn't a list of that for sure.

1. Dream Theater
2. The Mars Volta
3.. Radiohead
4. Opeth
5. Marillion
6. Porcupine Tree
7. SGM
8. Fantomas
9. Tool
10. GYBE!

2. Porcupine Tree (very influential, and my personal favorite modern prog band)
3. Godspeed You! Black Emperor (most important post-rock band)
4. The Mars Volta
5. The Flower Kings
6. Opeth
7. Tool
8. Radiohead
9. Explosions in the Sky
10. Riverside

well, if  "modern" means "anything since 1980" then for me the Ozric Tentacles come first. I would also name Inner City Unit, a band that is not in the archives and perhaps never will be; by my standard they are fully prog though and founders of the "prog punk" genre. check out their homepage here:

I can't stand the Ozrics, they just put me to sleep.
