Progressive Rock & Metal

Information
This is a club for people who enjoy progressive rock and metal You might be a heavy progressive rock or metal listener, a person that just got introduced to it or you even might have been listening to the genres for a long time, without even noticing it. But you have come to the right place. There are many different genres of progressive rock and it would take a long time to describe them all. So I recommend all people who don't know what this is to read <!--link--><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_rock">this wikipedia page about progressive rock.</a> But to sum it up quickly, progressive rock is a genre that draws in different elements from jazz, classical and avant-garde music genres. Progressive metal is different from progressive rock. Obviously it is heavier, since it is a sub-genre of Heavy Metal. Please read <!--link--><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_metal">this wikipedia page</a> for a deeper explenation and history of Progressive Metal. But to quickly describe what it is, then I would say it is a metal genre with complex guitar solos, odd time signatures and heavily instrumental. Many lyrics are about epic things, like dragons, wars and similar. A few bands: Marillion Jethro Tull Camel King Crimson Yes Emerson, Lake and Palmer Genesis Asia Dream Theater Symphony X

I absolutely love Tarkus but have trouble digesting the rest of ELP catalog for some reason. What are some other less known 70s prog bands you guys can recommend?

I recently listened to nearly the entirety of Emerson, Lake, & Palmer's 70's catalog and I'm rather conflicted with certain albums. I thought their debut and Trilogy were magnificent, but I only like certain parts of Tarkus and Brain Salad Surgery. Works Volume 2 was pretty good, and Love Beach wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be.

A collaboration between Steven Wilson and Mariusz Duda. It is a musicalization of a poem from their fan who died from liver cancer. Check it out:

Speaking of PT, this one is my favorite song of theirs:

Hm, some Porcupine Tree albums don't get too me as well, some of them are quite good though, his Solo stuff is far superior though, Raven was an amazing album and Grace for drowning has some amazing stuff like Raider II for example

I'm only listening to jazz lately...
I never got into Porcupine Tree. Simple compositions full of arrangements, too boring IMO. But Steven Wilson's solo album The Raven That Refused To Sing is amazing!

Oh yeah, I would rejoice over a new PT Album!
