My vote goes to Yes.

 

Tales From Topographic Oceans is the greatest album I have ever heard (not y favourite, but almost). No band ever came close to be honest, and its greatness casts a massive shadow on the rest of Yes' classic output for me.

I have heard of the last 4 or 5 anyway which is encouraging... :)

 

The last four or five or the first four or five in the list?

Symphony X for me at the moment. Not a single bad album yet. not one.

I love them. I can't wait to get the new album.

Yes metal? Of course there are only a few Rush records where they could fall into the metal category IMO. King's X are super heavy and progressive at times so I think they qualify personally.

Yeah, I can't think of anything yes did that I would call metal.

I would have said Dream Theater, BTW. But as much as i love them. Man do they have a wildly inconsistent discography.

...and much like Rush everybody will probably disagree which are the good records and which are not so good. I still think Awake is the best record they have ever done. Mainly because it flows so well, is so atmospheric, and the band held back just enough that it doesn't have that feel of a bunch of musical exercises strewn together like some of their records do.

Rush and Queensrÿche have always held the number one and two spot for me. This Symphony X sounds interesting, perhaps Mastodon too?

What is your fav QR record? Let me guess...haha! Also...are you familiar with the King's X catalog. If not you will love them if you like Rush and Queensryche IMO.

What is Queensrÿche's Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures?

 

No I'm only vaguely aware of King's X, give them a spin?

Queensrÿche put out my favorite concept album ever. Talk about ahead of it's time. That's metal opera in my book. Surprised Kings X wasn't on that list. Mastodon. God I love that band. Totally freaking amazing group. However, they're the acorns from the trees.
