Go to Ghostland and you'll find the genre very much alive.

I think Spock's Beard (prior to Neal Morse leaving) and Neal Morse (after leaving Spock's Beard -- see his CDs One and ?) are really in the spirit of the old prog bands. Throwbacks you might say.

I saw them open for Dream Theater once, not really hearing much of their stuff before, and they blew me away just as much, if not more than Dream Theater did. I immeadiately went out and bought their live release called "Dont Try This At Home" the next day. Another great prog album/band.

Wow, so many suggestions I hardly know where to start now. Great!

Thanks guys!

Prog rock lives! Wohoo!

Dream Theatre, that's definitely a favourite of mine too. At least some of their older stuff (like Images and Words), oh, and the very latest one, Octavarium!

The album before that though, nah, it sounded much too "you want Metallica? we can do Metallica!" to me.

Yeah, mine too

I think I know the feeling. That's how I felt a few years ago when stumbling into this, certain that those days where gone and that most music that would speak directly to me was already made. Kind of like
"hey, maybe there's still a few people around like me --- And look! Those new guys are doing a great job of looking after the heritage. --- Shit, I hit the motherload!"

That's one of the things that fascinates me with Dream Theatre though. They are so incredibly good at getting into other peoples music, and they do it with some respect. All the way from pure (very well performed) covers to borrowing ideas and making them part of their own musical vocabulary.

New progressive rock!
