Believe it or not, not the biggest prog metal fan.
For the same reason I have trouble getting into death metal for the cookie monster vocals and getting into black metal for high pitched growling vocals I have a hard time getting into prog metal because more often than not, the singer sounds like Dio.
That and some of these bands try too hard to make the keyboards sound as cheesy as possible. Symphony X is a great example.
I am however starting to take an interest in power metal, its so ****ing cheesy, but it has an appeal.
