You don't have to make this personal. So is music your profession? Do you get paid for writing endless articles about endless amounts of bands? Because I do, so maybe my "opinion" has some validity as well. But there is no opinion as far as I'm concerned, because Mars Volta aren't considered to be prog, it's just fact. If you think they are then okay, but it doesn't change this fact. What dampens the validity of your opinions is the amount of spelling and grammatical errors you make.
I just estimated the amount of prog rock I have on my computer and it's about 40 gbs. And that's only the prog bands I enjoy, so it doesn't include the **** load of cds I have.

You are not even trying to back up your opinions with valid reasoning

Yes, I know. That's because it's just something I believe to be fact. And I guess I don't need to explain something that I believe to be fact. I believe you're wrong, so I don't care for explaining why this is the case. Had it been something more subjective in nature, I would be happy to properly argue with you, believe me.
