So far I've been really enjoying maudlin of the Well, Intronaut and Sight.

Traditional progressive metal (heavy, power, symphonic). Except for Dream Theater. On the other hand, I like extreme metal (thrash, black, death, grindcore, etc) in almost all its forms (including progressive).

I’d also say neo-prog—I’ve tried many bands, and I just can’t listen to it; I find it extremely boring. I think what bothers me the most is that many of those bands have an extremely modern sound. That gente should have started and ended with Marillion (one of my favorite bands).

Jazz-rock and jazz fusion don’t move me at all either. A lot of virtuosity but little feeling. Really boring music for me.

With the exception of Dream Theater—personally, I find them the epitome of cheesy symphonic prog metal. That said, Petrucci is undeniably an incredibly skilled guitarist.

I agree with your take on the rest of metal, though. I wouldn’t call myself a metal enthusiast by any stretch, but I’m definitely more drawn to its experimental side.

Regarding neo-prog, I mostly agree—though I wouldn’t go as far as calling Marillion my favorite band.

As for jazz-rock, that’s actually what introduced me to prog in the first place. I’m also a big fan of classic jazz, so I can’t really agree with your stance there. Just listen to Holdsworth’s solo on Fred with Tony Williams—absolutely phenomenal!
