I don't have time to read all 30 replies, but has anyone suggested/have you heard Evergrey?  I think they'd be up your alley.  Also, if you like Opeth minus the RORORO, check out Katatonia's Night Is The New Day.  It's the only one I have, but I plan on getting more.  I'll put some more thought into this and come back to it.

yeah, 3 of us did/or +1'd it.

Dunno if you're looking mainly for new music, or just anything you might like.  If you're interested in older stuff that you probably missed out on, check out some Tony Martin era Sabbath.  I suspect you'd really like Martin as a singer, and the material was distinctly un-Sabbath-like; the reason most people don't listen to it.  Find a copy of TYR and see what you think.  Great lineup playing some great music that's nowhere near as bleak as what most people associate with Iommi.

I still think you'd like that Eden's Curse record with James LaBrie. Had you given it a try?

Also, have you listened to Haken's Aquarius yet? For a fan of DT and Symphony X that goes highly recommended.

Also, bosk, you might like setting up a last.fm account. Once you've scrobbled enough, it starts to give you recommendations based on the stuff you already listen to, which is pretty cool. I found out about a lot of new music that way.

I'll second Galactic Cowboys.  If you like King's X, you may like GC even more (such was the case for me).  They're heavier, a little more complex, and IMO have even better harmonies:

"You Make Me Smile" https://grooveshark.com/#/s/You+Make+Me+Smile/3FXw4o?src=5

"I Want You" (Kiss cover) https://grooveshark.com/#/s/I+Want+You/3pwl4A?src=5

Now, no idea if you've tried Theocracy before or not, but I feel like you should like them.  They kind of split the difference between progressive and power metal.  Their singer has some of the best pipes out there.  Plus, they have really great Christian lyrics that speak to you without being directly preachy i.e. "you should get saved!"  

"On Eagles' Wings" (the single from last album) https://grooveshark.com/#/s/On+Eagles+Wings/3AtGBm?src=5

"Laying The Demon To Rest" (Contender for longest opening note ever.  Great thrash but also with an EPIC chorus of ethereal harmonies!) https://grooveshark.com/#/s/Laying+The+Demon+To+Rest/3AtKz6?src=5

Maybe try Coroner. They play technical thrash metal. The vocals are a bit "screamy" but they're not growls and musically they're very good.

Shall I suggest Voivod?

Dimension Hatross, Killing Technology, and Nothingface essentially sound like a very thrashy, punk-like Hawkwind. 

Plus, their Pink Floyd and King Crimson covers are amazing.

Deicide is some great, Christian death metal.

I'd also recommend Floater as some great, dreamy art rock.

Top 5 band for me and this song is from my favorite album, El Subliminoso from the band Dada and the songs name is Rise.  Two singers in the band 3 part harmonies and catchy as hell.  This is one of their rocking tunes and they have a very good variety in styles.

I read through the OP, and while I don't think there is a whole lot of shared musical preference between you and I, I think I could see you enjoying Evergrey.  It is progressive metal in a borderline generic sense, but it's very well written and enjoyable.  Really nice vocals too.  I'm picking up from the mention of Redemption, Dream Theater, and Symphony X that this could possibly be something that you'd enjoy.  Besides them I can't really think of anything in my favorites that would make sense as a recommendation to you, so I'm going with this!  If you're interested, "In Search of Truth" is definitely the album to get in my opinion.

https://grooveshark.com/#/s/The+Masterplan/2vbzz7?src=5
I'll second Evergrey. They're filled with emotion and passion.
Ok, now I've finally checked out Evergrey myself now - because it's prog metal that even the Giant Indie kids like. I listened to In Search of Truth. Much better than most prog metal. I agree that it's borderline generic too, but it doesn't bother me like it does with a hundred other bands in the over-populated prog metal scene...

What has this forum come to when we let the giant indies decide for us which prog metal is acceptable to listen to?





































































I actually have nothing against the indies.  I like some of the music myself, and the indies on the forum are some of my fave posters.  I just think it's a fun joke to mess around with.  So no angry emails from any of you ignorant indies who don't know where I really stand.  Not that you'd email me anyway; you'd probably contact me using some underground communications device no one else has heard of.

Pretty much all styles of music, no restriction there.
However, personally I don't really like the place.
Most of the posts/posters just go all out to insult others, as stated earlier many replies are just quoting avatars, and if someone starts a serious thread to appreciate a band, it is soon derailed by people posting pictures and such.

Awesome!!  Did you check out a few other songs on Youtube?  And did you buy the remasters with the 4 extra songs.

Normal cd - 12 songs
Remaster - 16 songs

Well, let's see, I checked out a thread about cover songs better than the originals and like the 2nd or 3rd post said Limp Biscuit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes.   :lol

Also, on topic, if bosk's open to jazz fusion, he should definitely check out Weather Report's I Sing The Body Electric.  Some of the most dissident, weird, atmospheric music out there from 1972.
