[DracWell]

Darkane isn't progressive in a way, but they have progressed. Expanding Senses is GREAT

 

[Black Winter Day]

enchant are great, a bit on the lighter side

 

[dimensionidol]

-pain of salvation

-spiral architect

the rest of the movement really bored me

ah!

and of course:

watchtower

but for someone they are not progressive.

maybe they are too good!

Symphony X... you'll love it dude... FALLEN!

 

[Aussie_Outlaw]

[color=#AOEOOA]Symphony X are indeed progressive masters.

Also since you're in Oz, try and track down Modus Vivendi's 3 track EP: 'The Power of Suggestion'

That's damn fine.[/color]

my god!

they are absolutely not capable of compose a single note!

it is like they play the entire catalogue of deutch grammophone in a metal version!

however michael romero is an amazing guitarist.

 

[DracWell]

but the progressive genre is SO fuckedup. Everyone seems to be a dream theater-copy...

One of the greatest progressive bands out there is nevermore.

try Maudlin of the well- opeth like- yet a little more dynamic- jazzier

I've been saying it for years, Pain of Salvation!!!!

Old school-

Try
Gentle Giant
Crack the Sky
Mahavishnu- Fusion but still proggy
Kansas
Marillion
Styx
Rainbow

 

[Hawk]

Pain of Salvation sucks big dick! Symphony X and Zero Hour rule!

Pain of Salvation is waaaayy too prog rock for me. Try Power of Omens! They're more talented than most and a lot less respected than "bigger" bands.
