My three favorite bands! In order! ... upside down

Haven't been into prog, or even metal for that long but some bands I like/love are:
Tool
Opeth
Dream Theater
Dredg (well.. kind of, right? )
Green Carnation (LOD, DOD)
In the Woods (Omnio)
Kamelot (Karma)
Porcupine Tree
Symphony X
Transatlantic
Genesis
Liquid Tension Experiment
Pink Floyd
Rush

I also like the few songs I've heard from:
Angra
Camel
Captain Beyond
Emerson, Lake, & Palmer
Evergrey
Gentle Giant
Jethro Tull (not really prog but, oh well, you know)
King Crimson
Mahavishnu Orchestra (isn't that fusion though?)
Marillion (only the few songs off Script... not their later "music")
Pain of Salvation
Planet X
Spocks Beard
Yes
Andromeda
Kansas
Arcturus (The Sham Mirrors)

I'm sure there's something missing.

Sinkadus would be my fave. They've got crazy atmosphere and a unique (though the Anglagard lovers may disagree) sound that I haven't felt from any other band.....

Yes rules! At least the few albums I have.

And Finally, Anekdoten. Some of the songs aren't totally amazing, but Karelia and Old Man and The Sea more than make up for anything they may lack!

 

[Charlie E.]

Pain of Salvation
Dream Theater
Gordian Knot

 

[Pancakes]

I don't even know what qualifies as prog...

 

[dirge]

opeth
arcturus
porcupine tree
landberk
anekdoten
anglagard
camel
king crimson
pink floyd
ozric tentacles
rush

They're great! some songs sounds a little bit like opeth! The victor jara verse could easily be harvest, it's the same chords!
