Hello all, I have been a lurker here for a while and the albums some of you have come up with is amazing! But just to throw in my two pence worth, some I definitely do not catagorize as Prog-Rock, just no way! This is in my own opinion by the way, for me some of the heavy and grungy thrash type of stuff, just doesn't come under prog-rock. But everyone to their own! I have listened to quite a few recommendations, one or two, maybe even three have started out as what I would expect to be P-R only to turn into grunge or whatever you call the growling noises. Saying that, I have listened to one in particular that I do find very entertaining, "Insomnium" I think it was, quite good! Though I be a lurker, I have not been able to read the whole thread and so far I have not seen anyone mention IQ, nor Ozric Tentagles! Now if some of the growling comes under prog-rock, to me so must Ozric Tentagles, they have so much music going on that you just cannot leave them out. And as for IQ, well I am ashamed that it has taken me this long to find them, up until last year I had not even heard of them, now I class them alongside the likes of Genesis, Pink Floyd or The Who, but again, my own opinion. Keep up the fabulous albums, I need to add to my music collection and I find it hard to know what to go looking for. And a big thank you for all the suggestions, you all have cost me a fortune lately! PS; don't forget Nightwish, Seventh Wave, Triumvirat and a recent favourite, anything to do with Ayreon.
