Bet you thought I'd ignored this post! I just bookmarked it and then failed multiple times to get through all the posted tracks. Now I've finally got a semi-proper reply for you.

Okay. Glad you didn't hate it at least. I'll hit you with a few more, you might like 'em, you might not. Hard to say. But these are some of my favourites. One is prog metal (see if you can guess which)...

Pendragon - "It's Only Me" - Pure
Tottally confess to not liking this one. Sometimes sounded as if Bon Jovi had gone prog or something. Some nice chord progressions, but not something I'd imagine to be anything unusual for the genre. Just didn't grab me. Felt kind of watered down. Interestingly, upon googling the album, I came upon a prog forum where this very album album was discussed as a change of style for the band in question and it seemed to be kind of divisive.

I spotted the prog metal! It sometimes sounds like Dream Theater minus the annoying parts, but that's a cheap way to describe the band. Not hugely into the chorus, but there's some nice bits and I could totally listen to this without clawing my eyes out.

When I finally get back to Marillion's music some day, I'll focus on their newer material. This song does have some nice parts but... Oh man... the vocalist is killing me and some of the musical passages are as fruity as a large bowl of Skittles.

Didn't really grab me. There was some nice guitar playing here and there though. The singer was my least favorite bit. I liked it a bit more when it picked up late in the track. The guitar section from 6:23 and a bit forward had some really neat stylings that didn't immediately remind me of any other guitarist.
Unlike most on this list, I've never heard about this band and this song is all I know.

Nobody who likes Rush gets to ever tell me that I have lame taste in music.
Take all of the dorkiest things about prog. Add a chipmunk with a microphone.

I've mentioned liking Genesis before
Have you ever done a journal where you talk about the music you like? I totally admit to mostly just see you as "that post punk guy", since I can't remember the other stuff you've mentioned you liked here and there.

I don't think anyone in here understands my tastes either, but it's allright.
