Only 5 cds

[progmetaldan]

@ Ken

Actually, theres obviously many others I'd like, but with only 5 to choose, the prog ones tend to have the most styles in the one album, and are also usually longer...

 

[Kenneth R.]

I should revise mine and include a classical and a jazz, but I'm too lazy to narrow them down lol

 

[progmetaldan]

yeah, and as hard as it is to choose between prog albums, theres sooooo much more classical and jazz out there, it would just be ridiculous to try and choose just 1 album of each...

 

[Burnout]

I wonder about the guys who put only metal or prog bands. But hey, I guess if you like monotony

I like to think of it as variation on a theme.

 

[Redragon]

But what about a bit of variety?

Symphony X has so much variety, at least in metal it does, at least to me...

Symphony X has heavy metal, ballads, prog metal, and so much more....

What more could anyone want?!

 

[darkblade]

for metal:

iron maiden- seventh son of a seventh son
beyond twilight- for the love of art and the making
symphony x- Paradise lost
blind guardian- a night at the opera
angra- temple of shadows

for other:

Jethro Tull- aqualung
Cat stevens- teaser and the firecat
Igor Stravinsky- the Firebird
Kiko Loureiro- Universo inverso
a mix of hindustani ragas(sitar), japanese shakuhachi, and chinese gu quin- for meditation

hmmm,
Dream Theater- Scenes From A Memory
Symphony X- V
Flower Kings- Unfold The Future
Neal Morse- Testimony
Planet X- Moonbabies

That's almost exactly the same as noble savage, at least we wouldn't fight about what music to play if we were stuck together...

I knew yours would be a great 5

If it was 5 cds worth of random songs, I'd probably have plenty of non metal stuff in there, but while there are plenty of non metal songs I like, there's few non-metal albums.

 

[Meedleyx10]

What more could anyone want?!

Your sarcasm might be wasted. Watch and see how I do it:





3 clicks and you're done.

The great thing with prog and why i picked prog albums is because the skys the limit. Prog incorporates so many different styles, Jazz, Fusion, Classical,Ambient and world music, ozric tentacles being that example. Of course i loved the beatle too but my top five has all the elements that would never bore me!!!

Symphony X-The Odyssey
Symphony X-The Divine Wings of Tragedy
Dream Theater- Train of Though
Kamelot-Epica

Hey guys, how about y'all stop being dicks and ragging on people because they want to listen to all metal or all one band? it's a hypothetical question, not a life changing decision.



ok, that out of the way, i'd say...

Maiden - Live after Death
Rainbow - Rising
Halford - Live Insurrection
Queensryche - Operation:Mindcrime
Swallow the Sun - Ghosts of Loss

I don't know that those are my all time favorite albums, but i know they have the stuff that i just cannot get tired of.

[razoredge]

I'd pass. If I didnt, everytime I started playing my music and getting into it I would think "oh yea, I remember there was this other song that was really great" and then Id suffer in turmoil because I couldnt get to it. So I would shed myself of these evil tools of the devil and find pleasure in the sounds of nature................. run naked through the forest........ stuff like that

 

[ramses]

YES-Tales From Topographic Oceans
YES-Big Generator
OPETH-My Arms, Your Hearse
GENESIS-Wind And Wuthering
OPETH-Blackwater Park

Have to agree with ya' razoredge...except for the naked part....don't need to wake up to my hooha being nibbled on by the critters.
