    Progged rock is almost like heavy metal only more sophisticated, probably with Orchastra in it.

    Evanescence is about as far from prog rock as you can get...

    Not a fan of prog rock, though, except for Tool.

    Oh, and Dream Theater for comedy value...

    I kinda get it now. Grace Jones' "Slave to the Rhythm" classifies under the term.

    Not spam enough, I think. Inserting country snippets would increase spamhood.

    I understand now. I'm not a big fan, although I really like some of the songs that have come out of the genre. Some Tool songs, I guess Pink Floyd fits under this classification as well. Does Radiohead count or is that too far away from rock to be part of it? I personally think Radiohead is unclassifiable...

    Evanescence is probably the worst sufferer of bad genre classification. It isn't pop-goth, goth-rock, pop, progressive, or emo. It's actually more like classical music than anything else, or at least the older stuff is. The newer Evanescence music is more soft rock, with ochestra in some songs.

    Ochestra = <3, but I don't really know any progressive bands. Can you name a few?
