If it weren't for the fact that nobody threw a vote to SG, I would've went for Sieges Even. (Steffen's lyrics and song titles, alone, make the albums on which he worked great.)

I voted for Sieges Even too, "A sense of Change" (1991) for me its a masterpiece, and i enjoy a lot "The Art of navigating by the stars" followed closely by Fates Warning and Queensryche. But im a thrasher, Voivod and Watchtower are my favs bands in prog metal

I went with the magnificent Ayreon, I love Arjen Lucassen, he is a genius!
Also love DT, but I agree their stuff can be hit and miss, particularly since Portnoy left (and earlier, if I'm honest). But they have done some incredible stuff... I have to be honest and say I don't have much from the rest. I've dabbled in a few; Therion are interesting, Threshold I quite like (but don't have any of the earlier stuff), Riverside I have struggled with... Really should try some Symphony X, and probably a few more from this list

Riverside, just over DT, just over Blind Guardian.

I made this list out of the Prog Metal Top 100 list and Opeth is in the Tech/Extreme Prog Metal category here. That is just why. |

Those two albums are fantastic because they balance complexity, melody, and emotion so well.

The only surprise seems like that Queensryche got no votes. My intention is for the people to choose their favourite band among them, not their "favourite prog metal band". So, for instance I might have chosen Kamelot, even though I don't think they are an actual prog metal band.
Queensryche is quite a giant, and got no votes. Interesting... |

they have few weak albums so this could be the reason. If you had a classic QR album, things would be different. |

Aren't Riverside more like prog metal lite though. It seems weird to me that on this website Riverside are listed as prog metal but Haken are heavy prog. I think maybe it should be the other way around.

Though I'm a fan, I wouldn't put Rhapsody (of Fire), Therion, and Nightwish on the archives. Blind Guardian's inclusion is also an oddity. If there were criteria like "kickstarting a genre", "being a standout within the genre"; specifically to give details; a band might acquire the title by "pioneering female fronted symphonic metal" (Nightwish), or "utilizing symphonic constituents within the metal genre" (Therion); thus it might have made sense... |

Rhapsody(on fire)are symphonic metal which I consider to be a subgenre of progmetal. Blind Guardian I'm not too sure about. I have one album by them but wasn't too crazy about it.

Blind Guardian is way better than Rhapsody (on fire). Doesn't get much better than Blind Guardian in Power Metal at least.

I'm surprised Riverside is considered metal here. I've heard heavy prog bands more metal than they are. I picked Diablo Swing Orchestra just because they are so unique but i really love most of these.
