Fates Warning is the best prog band ever!
NEVERMORE!!!
NO PSYCHOTIC WALTZ ON THE LIST?????????
Heavy devy!!!
Fates Warning !!!
Enough said
The fathers of metal proggresive watch tower?????
Dream theater are for me the best band ever
Darkology is more prog in terms of rhythms than half of the bands on this list
After Legends of The Shires I had to vote for Threshold. Myrath came a close second.
ELP are the best
Porcupine Tree isn’t even on the list????
yes,they are!at the moment they got 101 votes!
100% ELP!
Toool is not really a prog ban nor is Queensryche or Faiths Warning. I would do some research first and extend my knowledge of prog music before publishing a list of so so bands that in my opinion are not up to par with Yes, Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator, Gentle Giant, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Le Orme, PFM, Goblin, Sagrado Corazao da Terra, O Terco, Ange to name a few. Open you ears..
in the beginning there was Keith Emerson, and the Prog God said, “I have done my finest work.”
Where in the holy church of progrocks name are Gentle Giant?
Thanks for the opportunity!
