Prog/Power Metal...

[Pantakrator]

Hey guys! I've recently been getting into what I feel is one of the best types of music out there; Prog/Power!!! So what's so good about it? I really don't know... Listen to Savatage's "Handful of Rain" or Hammerfall's "Legacy of Kings" though, then tell me they just flat out suck... Aint gonna happen!

So? I figure I'll list my favorites and then some I wanna know more about. If you guys know some good ones, or know reasons (ethicly) not to listen to some of these bands, please post!!! I love this style...

Bands I like:
Savatage
Theocracy ( His T-shirt is in the mail!!!)
Oratorio
Hammerfall
Rhapsody
Battlelore

Bands I wanna know more about:
Masterplan
Evergrey
Kamelot
Edguy
Rob Rock
Pain of Salvation

If any of you guys can help me out I'd be very grateful. I have Dream Theater's "SDoIT" album, but have yet to really listen to it. Guess I need to...

Thanks a million!!!

Have u ever heard of Andrew W Bordoni? great prog metal...check out his stuff at his website (http://www.andrewwbordoni.com or something like that) or at Cdbaby.com. I've got his two Earth-cubed projects... I like the first one better, as it has a very "Arthur/Merlin-esque" vibe to it.
