Recommend Some Progressive Rock/Metal

I have a few bucks to spend on iTunes and am looking for some new Progressive Rock/Metal bands. Thus far I have bought some Symphony X. Recommend me some more.

Feel free to mention some other metal bands too

Porcupine Tree

Opeth

Nevermore

Dream Theatre

Although i don't listen to them try Symphony X

Edit: Nevermind lol. Didn't read your post fully i thought it was one of those "read topic title" posts. Try Rush.

im a fan of tool and between the buried and me

Tool, Nevermore, Dream Theater, Queensryche, Mastadon, Agalloch, Anathema, Porcupine Tree, Kamelot, Opeth.

Should be lots.

Obvious prog rock suggestions: King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes, etc

Otherwise, 4/3 De Trio and Quella Vechia Locanda are pretty decent too

Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche. Get this album at all costs, its very good.

Others to consider:
Streets: A Rock Opera by Savatage
Dead Winter Dead by Savatage
Permanent Waves by Rush
Empire by Queensryche

Porcupine Tree

Opeth

Nevermore

Porcupine Tree (any album is fine)

Riverside (Rapid Eye Movement)

Pure Reason Revolution (The Dark Third)

Pineapple Thief (Variations on a Dream)

Anekdoten (From Within)

Frost* (Experiments in Mass Appeal)

EDIT: Also, Green Carnation. You can get Light of Day, Day of Darkness for $1 on amazon. An hour of music for a dollar is one hell of a good deal.

Tool. My favorite band. Early Metallica is progressive. Also check out some King Crimson. One of the first progessive rock bands.

Coheed and Cambria

My favorite band ever... my death metal/black metal buddies love to mock me, but they make some of the most powerful, technical and beautiful music you will ever hear... although their most recent album was terrible.

Second Stage Turbine Blade has a more punk feel to it, but it very brooding and emotional.

In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 is when the band moved to a more progessive rock direction, although it still had the poppy goodness that made their first albums so charming.

Good Appollo, I'm Burning Star 4: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness is thier quintessential masterpiece. A must have for any fan of powerful rock music, but also fans who want something that trancends a genre.

Good Appllo, I'm Burning Star 4, Volume 2: No World For Tommorrow was dissapointing... very dissapointing. Part of the problem came from their major label deal: Columbia found From Fear Through the Eyes... too challanging, and it did not have a big pop hit like "A Favor House Atlantic" on it. They may have forced a more commercial tone.

-OPETH! and lot's of it! :D - Blackwater Park and Ghost Reveries are my favourites

-Devin Townsend, The Devin Townsend Band and The Devin Townsend Project - I'd reccomend Ziltoid The Omniscient, Ki, Synchestra and Addicted

-Dream Theater

-Anathema

-Agalloch

-Porcupine Tree

-Epica (they are Symphonic metal, but I've heard them reffered to as Prog too, try their latest album Design Your Universe

Hope that helps :D

(also I'm disappointed at there being no mention of Devin before me, he is incredible!)

Try ...And justice for all

Its not realy prog... but **** it... i love it :D
