some people dont even know what metal is anymore. you use the term prog metal and they want to call it prog rock they get all uptight. prog rock was the likes of ELP, YES, Floyd and to my favored tastes primarily Rush and Kansas....... a far cry from Porcupine Tree, Porcupine Tree is a recent band so they incorporate Metal sounds and styles as much as they remind of older more rock oriented sounds. Fates Warning was a primary contender for the developement of prog metal, yet if younger people listened to their work from the 90's they would most likely say they were'nt even metal, yet their roots were in metal and their sound progressed and evolved, they are still a prog metal band.
