[edit] The Dillinger Escape Plan

I removed them because they're Mathcore not Progressive Metal. Mathcore would be the Core equivalent to Metal's Progressive Metal, yet they don't have anything in common really, aside from that both are considered technical in their respective genres.

[edit] Tool and A Perfect Circle

Is there any consensus on requirements for inclusion in this article, or is based entirely on the editor's opinion? Also, this list is super-incomplete.

Blind Guardian------------

Cu> I think it's necessary to add Blind Guardian in this list. Their "Night in the opera" and "Fly" are obviously much more near to progressive then their earlier epic albums.

Coheed and Cambria----

I think they're just strictly prog rock are they not? I'm taking them off the list.

Rush------------

Why would you ever remove one of the intricate bands in the start of it. www.metal-archives.com also says that that's what they are, so I'm adding them back on

Voivod-----

Another important one, even though their sound is more thrash and hardcore.

Iced Earth and In Flames-----

Last time I checked, they were prog metal.

Mudvayne----

Wouldn't Mudvayne be considered progressive metal? Just wondering.

King Diamond----

Definately re-adding him. Yes, he was Black Metal, however, most of his albums are in fact CONCEPT ALBUMS!!!

[edit] Metallica and Iron Maiden

I added both. All first Metallica albums are conceptual albums and latest Maiden works are pretty prog for my tastes. Stahn -- --Stahn 18:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

  they are gone, like they should be

[edit] Tool and King Diamond

Will people quit removing King Diamond and Tool. They are Progressive Metal.

  King diamond is power metal, although he could fit in prog, tool sucks, they aren't prog

[edit] Complete Changing of this List

This list needs a complete overhaul, I've brung it upon myself to accomplish such. I use sources such as Wikipedia band pages, Last.fm song tags and Encyclopedia Metallum. Bands like Dragonforce, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Iced Earth and Megadeth are just NOT Progressive Metal at all. So they may have various progressive metal influences in a few albums, or a few songs - they aren't Prog Metal. If your definition of Progressive Metal is 'bands with a little influence of Progressive Metal', then this list could cover pretty much all Metal bands and all Progressive bands ever.

It is more accurate and useful to the reader if we add Progressive Metal bands to here and only Progressive Metal bands - and like the Power Metal list, I suggest adding flags to the bands listed (of their countries) and I would even be prepared to do a little description of a band (e.g: Opeth - Swedish Progressive Death Metal band)

What do you all think? - Skavuau

   Thats cool, yeah i dont get why people add metallica to this list. I also think the power metal list is corrupt, as in the people "gaurding" it think too speedy of power metal. nevermore is on the power metal list, jeff loomis himself said they weren't power metal!

[edit] Kamelot

Shoudl not be on the list of Prog bands. They started out as a Power Metal band and are still playing Power Metal. They may have some Prog elements in there music but a lot of different metal bands in different gernes do. But it's just not enough to list them as Prog metal band. They don't really have those long solos that you find more in Porg metal.

[edit] Kiuas

I'm adding Kiuas to the list. They have many progelements in their music such as concept albums and odd time signatures. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.113.40.180 (talk • contribs) 12:05, 3 December 2006 (UTC).
