I'd like to share with you an article that I organized and we wrote on our site a few months ago. I think it may a good topic for some discussions here.
We tried to choose the 100 albums of progressive metal that would make an absolute guide for the genre.
Our first rule was to try and stick to the more traditional side of the genre as prog is a vague term, especially in our days.
Secondly we wanted to present as many bands as possible, but at the same time give a few more slots to those we think that stand out for one reason or another.
To make it more complete we added plus 10 albums that come from the "open-minded" side of the genre.
I write these things on the prologue, but most people don't bother to read it, judging from the comments (yes, the order is chronological by year).
So here it is: http://www.rocking.gr/articles/en/The-Absolute-Guide-To-Progressive-Metal/17150/
and also here's an extra article with musicians sharing some stories about their own albums: http://www.rocking.gr/articles/en/The-stories-behind-Absolute-Guide-To-Progressive-Metal/17299/
Pain Of Salvation play "Remedy Lane" in this year's festival and I couldn't be more jealous (even though I had the chance to see them when they were touring for it), so here's a nice story. Well, I really can't get enough of Daniel sometimes.
I hope you enjoy reading it and I'd be glad to make a discussion about it.
Cheers!
