Not sure if anyone has heard of Spock's Beard here but I thought I would let everyone know about them who didn't. Basically they sound like a mix of all the great prog bands from the past. (Yes, Genesis, ELP, etc.) I have the album "The Light" and it's pretty amazing. http://www.spocksbeard.com/ http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_BAND.asp?band_id=320
EDIT: And this isn't pretentious prog metal by the way.
I'm going to have to check them out now, just because you likened them to Yes. :(
Edit: And because of this.
[quote=http://www.spocksbeard.com/]But what I dig the most is that he says "choad" on one of the tracks. ;-)
I've heard that Octane is a really good album.
Choad? :D:D:D:D:D I like them already.
