sir...... you and i are going to become great friends....

you are correct that progressive music is the greatest... and dream theater is the uncle while king crimson is the gradfather and yes is the daddy. i cant get ENOUGH prog music.

sir im jsut going to assume that because you know who king crimson is that you also know who ELP is. and have you heard of emarosa or tides of man. some cool new wave prog thats come out in the last 10 years. real good stuff

Yes... yes we are gonna be friends. : D

Dream Theater stays as my favorite Progressive Metal band, and is probably my favorite band overall. They're plainly incredible. Metropolis pt.2: Scenes From a Memory is the best album I have heard on my life.

King Crimson is great, and so is ELP. x3. Emarosa and Tides of Man I need to check out, though. Thanks for the recommendations.

I had a pretty bad experience with a DT concert >_<. Sounds weird? That's because I couldn't go.
Yeah, I basically had to go to another concert instead since they decided to make it the exact same night xD. So yeah, great night, but I'd have loved to see DT instead... :<

I screwed up with the quote O_o. I have no idea how that happened. Sorry xP.

Coldplay.
Yeah, completely prog unrelated and not nearly as good, but I still enjoyed the night =P. I used to like alternative back then. Now... not as much.
