Not sure if this is the right forum to post this in. If I have made the wrong determination, please move this mods.
I recently started the free trial of Apple Music and since you can stream and even save songs for offline play, I'm really interesting in branching out and/or re-discovering music. Since I didn't quite have a dedicated part of my budget to buy new music, this is obviously a great way to find a middle ground where I can listen and save new music to my iPod/phone, without having to buy each CD.
I'm looking for music similar to Dream Theater, Between The Buried and Me, Scale The Summit, Periphery, Rush, Transatlantic, etc. And I've already checked out Steven Wilson, Porcupine Tree, Mastodon, etc based on some recommendations from my friends/co-workers. But seeing as everyone here can relate to the aforementioned bands and seem to have some quite diverse music tastes, I didn't think it would hurt to ask the community here on DTF.
That being said, let me know who I should check out and if possible, what bands or styles they closely resemble.
Thanks!
