recommend me some bands...

[horacexgrant]

if i like bands such as symphony x, adagio, impellitteri, angra, malmsteen, a little dream theater, tony macalpine, vinnie moore..

i discovered adagio from this board, and it turned out to be a really good band for my tastes. so can anyone recommend me some other progressive or neoclassical band?

thanks

Some random recommendations: Zero Hour, Planet X, Derek Sherinian's stuff, COB's earlier albums, Opeth, Death's last couple of albums, Control Denied, Greg Howe's stuff, Marty Friedman's "Dragon's Kiss", Michael Romeo's "The Dark Chapter"... and of course, get all of Symphony X's albums.
Also if you like neoclassical, then I encourage you to listen to some classical music. You might wanna start with stuff like Vivaldi's 'Four Seasons' and some Bach or whatever.

Also, check out Green Carnations album Light of Day Day of Darkness. It's awesome.

I agree... except for that part near the middle Ruins the entire album for me, to be honest.

Also, check out Jordan Rudess' albums. Feeding the Wheel is excellent, technical prog!

 

[Detective Clarence Beauregard]

Seventh Wonder

 

[greenaxer]

Seventh Wonder's awesome. Threshold is another good one.
