[CantoX]

Marillion.

Otherwise Marillion, with no competition.

I checked their stuff on youtube after both you guys mentioned them. Could you recommend any songs/albums?
I checked out Kayleigh, script for a jesters tear and lavender, and the only one I like of those is Kayleigh. The other 2 sound weird.

Probably Symphony X and Devin Townsend if I have to name something. Those are the ones I'm following closest at the moment, I guess.

[Krondor]

Can't say what's my favourite band, but there are several bands that have moved me in a way that's hard to describe... for example Led Zeppelin, Symphony X, Gabriel-era-Genesis, Big L... (he's a rapper, so don't bother checking him out if you don't like rap )

 

[metalxmetalx]

Symphony X hands down. Everything else doesn't even come close, although there's plenty of other good bands/artists I listen to.

That's exactly what I think: there are a lot bands out there that I like such as early Scorpions, Rainbow, Accept, Savatage, Megadeth, Circle II Circle, Allan Holdsworth, Planet X, but Symphony X are a better band as a whole.

 

[Postulate]

Are we talking about Keyleigh now?!!

KAYLEIGH

Is it too late to say that Im sorry
And KAYLEIGH could we get it together again???
I just can't go on pretending that it came to a natural enddd...

KAYLEIGH!!!

 

[Kenneth R.]

All I can think of is there must be an explanation for that song's existence

 

[Postulate]

I actually like it. The 80's prog bands wrote some great pop songs.

 

[Phanto]

Agreed. Except for Owner of a Lonely Heart, that's fucking hideous. Definitely the low point of Yes.
Well, at least Saga and Marillion did some good pop songs.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Yes got better in the 90s. Union/The Ladder FTW

 

[Phanto]

Yes!

 

[Bluefish]

Iron Maiden, Rush, Symphony X, Dream Theater and Metallica.

 

[Krondor]

I really never got into Iron Maiden, I do respect them and everything, and they do have a few great songs. But I've always missed that SOMETHING.

EDIT: Same thing with Pink Floyd....
