I can't get into Protest Hero's music, there is no melody, i got no feeling listening to their music. The technique is impressive and the way they play at a vey fast tempo, but after 1 song i am already fed up with them. I think they are the opposite of Yes.

LOL Same with me. (To be fair I listened to the songs that are streamed on this site + 3 youtube videos).

The only band I hate more than Protest The Hero is MGMT. Shallow, shallow garbage.

I'm not a big Yes fan, and I hate the PtH I've heard, but I'm voting for the latter because Iván's comments are as worthy of consideration as Moshkito's posts.

I don't even really like Yes very much, but I would certainly vote for Yes over Protest The Hero as PTH are not particularly good songwriters, despite having technical prowess.

Again, what would non-metal listeners have to do with this. I can provide plenty of examples of popular opinion thinking two songs sound exactly the same when they're incredibly different. That doesn't prove anything.For the record I can't tell the difference between most prog-folk and most non-mainstream symphonic bands. EDIT: May as well throw in progressive electronic too.EDIT: And post-rock.EDIT: I could keep going.
But in this case both are incredibly similar to the point of being almost exact, a point you are eluding. .

I dont listen to either band much but could easily tell the difference between them, particularly with Chuck Shuldiner's distinctive high pitched rasp.

I tend to agree, especially as, apparently, there are trillions upon trillions of them. And more......Ermm

Seems fishy. If they were so small I think I would have seen one by now.
