Damn! I don't know how I could have forgotten my al time favorite album!!

Sieges Even are the shit when it comes to prog-rock. Their "A Sense of Change" album is my al time favorite.

Other good albums are: "Sophisticated" and "Uneven".

Thanks a lot for reminding me Burkhard!

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Fates Warning - "The Spectre Within", "Awaken The Guardian"

Not Prog.

 

[sixxswine]

Not Prog.

If FW isn't prog what in the f%#k would you call it?!

 

[IcedMadness]

Rush - Red Barchetta
Dream Theater - Change of Season, Metropolis Part 1, Lines in The Sand

 

[Wicked Child]

If FW isn't prog what in the f%#k would you call it?!

The stuff Burkhard suggested came out during their power metal phase, their early years. They really didn't become prog until Perfect Symmetry.

Trust me, those albums aren't prog. Power metal all the way.

 

[Hawk]

Not Prog.

Who cares?

 

[Burkhard]

Not Prog.

One man´s prog is another man´s power (and vice versa).

 

[Griffin-]

I don't like prog. I hate Fates
Warning..Ayreon is allright though. Some Dream Theater songs are quite good.
