As far as bands as Dream Theater go, I`d say yer as they basically sound like a metal based version of Kansas.

I think that true (core) progressive rock hit/reached its pinnacle in the 70s.
Progressive Metal is the more current sub-genre that is most popular today. And the genre I personally categorize prior bands like Queensrÿche, and Dream Theater.
Progressive Metal splinters off into Fusion genres like Technical death metal, mathcore, and so on.
I'm not very familiar with the more popular metal sub-genres and most current metal bands of the day. But I do know that progressive metal is very popular at the current time.
