Some people just don't like the heavier sound of guitars (and perhaps think there is no place for them in progressive music). I get the feeling your favourite band is VdGG- for me they are too light, much the same as Camel and GG- but this doesn't mean I don't play them, they are just not on my favourites list. 

Sorry, but Canada is a good AND representative track of Terria. Christeen does not represent Infinity well, but War is ok.

I agree that it's imperative to listen to the complete album before rating or reviewing an album, but it's possible to tell whether you'll like an album from a single song.

I didn't see it as an attack ... I just wanted to point out that Canada is sufficient to judge Terria. People who listen to Canada and don't see why it's prog and then listen to the whole album and suddenly change their mind ... well, IMO they either just didn't listen to Canada closely oenough or not to the end, or they think that Terria is prog for the wrong reason - maybe they discovered a mellotron or a violin, or an odd time signature.

I'm 17 and I despise metal with every fiber of my being. A metal edge or metal elements are ok, and sometimes even desirable, but anything that's close to being pure metal--ugh, TOO LOUD!

Really heavy stuff, not at all. Pain of Salvation is just about as much as I can handle. I'm more of a Dream Theater fan, which doesn't really translate too much to a prog-metal fan.

Meh...there's not alot of prog metal i like. Not that i hate it or anything, just not for me (though i've been trying to expand my horizons to include it...it isn't always successful).
 
And i'm 17.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me

I'm young, 18, and like prog-metal. But I much prefer Art-Rock and Symphonic.

If you like both Pain of Salvation and Dream Theater that makes you a Prog Metal fan par excellence. Or do you think that it is a requirement to enjoy all the major bands of a genre in order to call yourself a fan?

Hard poll, I like Fantomas and Pain of Salvation plus Iron Maiden who I believe are a Prog Metal band.
 
But I don't hate the rest, just simply don't listen it as I don't listen RIO, but that's all.
 
I like Symphonic, Fusion, Folk/Prog, Canterbury, Space, Psychedelia and even Neo Prog much more than metal.

This poll is not about which genre you prefer ... it's just about whether you like or dislike Prog Metal.

I'm 31 and voted I don't like the poll. It needs more options.

Baldfriede or anyone else curious: I'd like to reccomend Secret Chiefs 3: Book of Horizons. Some soundclips on their website and whole songs on Myspace

From these clips, you'll probably not understand why there placed under progressive metal (which is wrong anyway) at all. A bit strange, but still good selection of examples. They won't prepare you for their experimental, complex and extreme stuff. Read the two reviews here, and look at the line-up. that'll give you some explanations.

The clip The Electromagnetic Azoth, and the myspace full track Blaze of the Grail,  are probably the two most representative of their sound. The dated ethno-technosound of Zulfigar III is not. The Exile is the intro track on the album.
