  • Arena
  • Pendragon
  • Twelfth Night
  • Pallas
From my experience with prog rock, the only band I listen to that's conventionally prog rock would be dream theater.
Of that list, Pendragon did it for me. The other ones felt like it dragged on after 3 minutes.
Most of the songs I listen to are under 5 minutes.

Would it count as prog if I mentioned a few bands of mine that have long songs?
Wintersun, Nightwish, Epica, Summoning and Opera IX show up when I sort my songs by length and when I pick ones I rated high.
