Recommend me some new/different "progressive" rock/metal bands?
I am already quite into...
- RUSH
- Dream Theater
- Spock's Beard
- The Tea Party
- Porcupine Tree
- Yes
- recent Opeth stuff
Recently, I've got into, but haven't yet purchased...
- Flying Colours
The sound can be more modern.
I don't like screaming
I don't love depressing
but I can deal with it if it's part of an album, but wouldn't wanna listen to a whole album of mellow yellow!
:P Oh and I don't really call bands like Nightwish progressive. They sit on the "symphonic metal" side for me!
And I can't stomach Pink Floyd

Queensryche most specifially the MindCrime album.
There is one to avoid, the American Soldier, it's not good, rest of their output is though.

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Dave's not only amazingly talented - he's a really lovely guy.
an album I really like is Chocolate Kings by PFM.
early to mid 70's Genesis is great too
early to mid 70's King Crimson is very cool.. very dissonant and intense
haa... thanks for the plug... lol..
and just as the DC Band is mixing down it's latest [and imho, it's best] album
