Is anyone here a Progressive Rock/Metal fan? If so, which bands do you enjoy listening to?
Some of mine are Dream Theater, Symphony X, Rush, Circus Maximus, and Ayreon.
Hi,
I am a prog. rock fan:-).
In the 90's Dream Theater, Queensryche, Psychotic waltz, Fates Warning, Conception, etc.
Nowadays Riverside, Haken, TesseracT, Teramaze, Circus Maximus and a lot of other awesome bands. I am having some cool playlists shared here in the community as well.
You may look into those as you wish.
I live for prog rock and prog metal!
Some bands I've been listening to lately: BTBAM, Rush, Frost, Big Big Train, Symphony X, Opeth, Steve Wilson, Orphaned Land, Animals As Leaders, Dream Theater, Riverside, Meshuggah, Vektor (if that counts), Gojira, Planet X, Liquid Tension/Trio Experiment, Rush, Ange, King Crimson, Porcupine Tree, Transatlantic, King's X, Ayreon, Adagio, Angra, Haken and of course our dear Devin Townsend (Project/Band).
Hi,
That is cool! Do you have any good playlists made by you to follow? This is the best genre in the world.
I also suggest progmetalzone on Spotify - check out this profile - he posts monthly playlists of songs from new prog. rock albums of the genre available on Spotify.
Riverside had the best album last year for me and this year it is Haken's Affinity so far but some very cool bands will come out shortly with new materials this year - Fates Warning, DGM, Teramaze, etc.
BTW - did you check the new Frost*? Just came out on 27th May - available on Spotify. Pretty good.
Happy listening!
Rush, Yes, King Crimson, Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, Illogistical Resource Dept.
I have listened to some parts of the new Frost album, I've yet to finish it but so far I've liked what I've heard! Riverside, especially with all the acclamation they've been getting lately, are not only staying awesome but rising in popularity. Love, Fear, And The Time Machine did not disappoint the high expectations I had built up for the band. DGM, Fates Warning, and Teramaze are all great and I am really excited for their upcoming material!
Hi,
Indeed - you have covered the 3 most anticipated albums I am aware currently for the rest of the year. In addition I fully agree with all your words in regards to Riverside's 'Love, Fear and the Time Machine'. This album should be known by everyone - simply a classic and with their 'softer approach' the album has lots of treasures for people who may wish to listen to material which is easier to digest. And beyond the surface - the whole is a beauty.
Ok - happy waiting to the stuff mentioned and upcoming shortly!
Bets wishes,
Balazs
Old school! How can you have a list and not have Pink Floyd on there? Also, Genesis, Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Moody Blues, ELP, Marillion, Renaissance, Camel, Gentle Giant, Van der Graaf Generator, and of course Rick Wakeman to name a few...
Enjoy
I got into progressive rock in the early 80's, starting with Asia, then branching out to bands Asia members had been in and other related bands. Bands I like include Yes, Renaissance, U.K., Rush, Genesis, King Crimson, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. I also listen to several more obscure ones from time to time.
I recently made a couple huge progressive rock playlists that you may find helpful for finding more progressive rock. They group whole albums together, and I use them by putting them on shuffle. Since the playlists, as posted here, are capping out at 200, I have edited this to also include playlist links.
This first one focuses on covers of progressive rock songs that were originally played by some of the classic artists I mentioned above. This is useful for finding newer progressive rock artists you may also like.

My second one focuses on what members of Yes have done outside of Yes. This sometimes includes other bands they were in or collaborations with artists who were not in Yes.

These are some of the progressive rock bands I listen to.

@jwatt621 There are several prog-rock threads on this board (by me). Here are the links and playlists:
All great bands! To be original may i suggest one out of the scheme? this is the band of one of the greatest videogame music composer Nobuo Uematsu and they play a good progressive rock 'n' metal---> the Black Mages, unfortunately i can't find them on spotify..... here the link on wiki https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Mages
When Genesis released the R-Kive set a couple of years ago I thought it was a great idea, but was dissapointed with the watered-down result. So... here is R-Kive proper with what is available on Spotify. (Gabriel and Lamb missing...ouch.)
Classic prog from Yes and solo projects 1971-80.
