Can anyone suggest some progressive rock/metal for me?
I havent listened in awhile but since i saw botes vid with blind guardian, which reminded me of iced earth, i started up again.
So...anyone got suggestions?
only suggest the things that not everybody knows of cuz chances are, ive heard them before, after all i happen to fit into the category of 'everybody' =)

Progressive rock as in the progressive rock movement?

Gentle Giant (70's prog with a genuine English Renaissance music vibe)

Progressive rock as in rock that is progressive (although at one point did, by chance, start the 'movement')?

King Crimson (duh?)

Oh yes, about an album's worth of samples for each (although honestly, neither's range is covered well in them, you do get an album's worth of music for both of em from a legal site.)

Gentle Giant

King Crimson

Actually, if you're really interested in Prog Rock, check out this site in general:

Just so you know, neither Blind Guardian nor Iced Earth are progressive metal. They are power metal.

Now... would you like me to recommend prog metal or would you like me to recommend power metal?

Yeh, what flint said, it's power.Check these songs out (none of them is progressive though):

Dream Evil-Children of the night
Falconer-Mind traveler
Ayreon-Beyond the last horizon
Manowar-Warriors of the world
TadMorose-NucleraSkies

All of them are really catchy melodies. For something more modern sounding get:

Motograter-Collapse
Story of the year-And the hero will drown

But what'll really pawn you are Blind Guardian's "A night at the opera" & "Nightfall in middle earth" albums. Also NightWish's "Once" is really exceptional. If you want singles from these two check my profile

bzzt wrong

The circle is now complete...other new prog-power bands are more or less superfluous.

I hope you're not refering someone to dragonforce as a serious band, Kai. If so, respect points drop to 0.
