Poppy prog vs other types: 1970s (metal, pop, rock, genre)

Although their music barely touched upon prog. Barclay James Harvest are one of the best bands to produce quality pop/rock that could appeal to both sets of fans. Many people say that they were The Beatles successors. The album Once Again is an absolute 70's gem.

Dream theater is a given, theres also-

Jethro Tull = Folk Rock
Queensryche = Metal (very good at that)
Fates Warning= yup Progressive Metal
King's X= I can't see a lot of prog in their music but they are a vastly underated band.
Tool=yup again!
King Diamond= Metal.Plain and simple.
Crimson Glory= Early stuff ditto.
Opeth= melodic death metal
Liquid Tension Experiment=Only band I have'nt heard.
