As for the Opeth question, I looked at the Wikipedia entry for progressive rock. Unusual song structures and weird time signatures? Check. Extended songs and long instrumental parts? Check. Non-traditional rock instruments? Check. Jazz and classical influences in the melody? Check. Concept albums? Check. They're progressive, allright.

They`re normally referred to on wiki as progressive death metal, thus meaning the heavier emphasis is on death metal, I`m not sure is this narrows down their progressive credentials. For the record, I always think of them as a progressive metal outfit and besides that, they`re a great band based on all the stuff I`ve heard.
