Workmanlike. Drab. Uninteresting. Featureless, soulless, utterly umemorable, and just plain boring. Homogenized processed progressive power metal product.

It's hard to be generic when you invented the sound. It's like saying 1970s Black Sabbath generic doom metal.Nice, and the same goes for Dream Theatre.
Almost? Dream Theater are nowhere close to Maiden. Back in the late 70's Iron Maiden discovered a secret that was unfortunately not passed on to the next generation of prog bands: the secret of writing interesting, memorable songs that kick fucking ass and become absolute classics worshipped by legions of fans for their ungodly awesomeness.If this somehow causes my argument to fail, think of, say, Maiden instead, though I'd rather not since they're almost on par with Dream Theater in my book. Almost.
Sounds a lot like Dream Theater, to be honest...Pagan's Mind are terrible songwriters because you pretty much forget the songs as soon as they end

Queensryche are not really progressive metal.

It doesn't matter if you invented the sound, if tons of bands surpass you you have become generic; there's no point in listening to you because other people do it better.
I think the whole problem with prog metal is that no one has surpassed Dream Theater
