I know there are several Dream Theater fans here. I recently stumbled onto Pagan's Mind, a band with a similar sound. They've been around awhile, and you'll find two of their albums below:

I also stumbled upon Pomegranate Tiger, a prog metal instrumental group (great when you need to cut the lyrics and get some creative work done). Here's their album:

And here's a good collection of Dream Theater songs without the lyrics (originally posted here):

Enjoy. And if you know of similar bands, I'd love to hear about them.
 


I'm going to see Tool on Tuesday. Box seats with a bar. Should be a good (and total shit)show.

Edit: After clicking youtube vids, I realize Tool must not be progressive. Disregard. Pagan's Mind sounds like Queensryche.
 
I love me some Tool and Porcupine Tree... I guess that's mostly progressive rock... this progressive metal shit sounds way too 80's to me.
 
"very often fans and critics credit Dream Theater for creating a whole new genre of progressive metal music in the late '80s/early '90s, . . . but the truth is Fates Warning were doing it years before us." - Mike Portnoy

Obviously an awesome drummer. He wrote an awesome book. His daughter and wife died and wrote this:

^^^^This. Opeth is great. You have to listen to pretty much all the songs on their albums as they do not really have just one sounds. I saw them live last year with Katatonia who was also really good. Check em out.
