*the ant-eating king of prog swoops in*

Every proghead should own Images & Words: whether you dig DT or not, its a melodic masterpiece. Even has a bit of AOR cheese here and there which just makes the whole package that much better.

Batty's mentioned before he likes both Queensrÿche and Crimson Glory, but it looks like there's potential for him to end up liking Rush, King's X and Yes too. So to that end, here's some initial recommendations that come to mind that may be more up Bat's alley:

Progressive Rock
Brother Ape - A Rare Moment Of Insight (2010)
Camel - Camel (1973)
Camel - Mirage (1974)
Yes - Fragile (1971)
Yes - Close To The Edge (1972)
Yes - Relayer (1974)
Moon Safari - Lover's End (2010)

Progressive Metal
Fates Warning - Awaken The Guardian (1986)
Galactic Cowboys - Galactic Cowboys (1991)
Veni Domine - Fall Babylon Fall (1991)
Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement (2007)
Kekal - Acidity (2005)
