I would consider myself old school as well pentatonic, listening to the same bands you mentioned, (although I recently re-discovered Gentle Giant). The Youtube song by Spock's Beard posted by Psychonaut has grabbed my attention. I wasn't really aware there was still an active prog movement out there. I find myself looking backwards in my music. I'm not terribly excited by the new music of today. I guess I'm showing my age... or my stubborness.

Most of the bands cited here i really enjoy to hear them i only have one problem of what is prog rock or rock anyway for me it's mostly everything rock , heavy metal blues and jazz but don't listen to me i'm just a old fart .

BTW 2 small things

1: I would consider Queensryche as more one of the old glam rock on the same level as Cinderella , Poison , JBJ etc . but it is one of my 80's band .

2: and most importantly how can we forget RUSH

That's true, it's weird to think that Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull and Rush and Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater all fall underneath the "prog" umbrella because really each of these bands is quite different from each of these other bands... You could say that all five bands have a propensity for 10+ minute long songs, though.


pentatonic, I have these five Caravan albums, and all five are amazing IMO:
Caravan (1968)
If I Could Do It All Over Again (1970)
In the Land of the Grey and Pink (1971)
Waterloo Lily (1972)
For Girls Who Grow Plump in the Night (1973)

The first two to which I started listening were 1971/1973, and I branched out from there, but I think they're all amazingly consistent listens.

Hmm, now that I think about it, maybe I ought to check out the Caravan & The New Symphonia (1974) album too, which I see was recorded live...

You sir, are insane. Listen to Queensryche's 'Rage For Order' and listen to Cinderella's 'Night Songs' and tell me if they are in the same arena.

Have to agree (not on the insane part ) but Queensryche is def prog metal, Operation Mindcrime is my favorite of theirs

It's a shame what Tate is doing to the band now though. Although I did like 'American Soldier', 'Dedicated to Chaos' was GOD AWFUL.

Operation: Mindcrime is easily as good as DSOTM. no really.

as a one off ...And Justice For All is epic Prog Metal.
if you haven't, check out Metal Evolution - Ep. 11 - Progressive Metal.
while I do agree Rush is an all time great band, I'm not sure they're metal.

I replied to this thread to be helpful. My reply listed about twenty prog bands that were not mentioned. For some reason they have been deleted. Some of my other posts have also been deleted. WTF?

There was a database loss that resulted in forum posts (among other things) being deleted:

I like all projects from Arjen Lucassen. Stream of Passion (1st album was with him) and Ambeon are good too. He's got a new solo one coming out next month:
