I'm not sure Mind Over 4 would have come to mind as prog metal.

Mostly they sound like bands that listened to bands that didn't get Maiden.
No there really isn't. People only think that because of dream theater.......who are awful.
You can shit on people's music tastes all you like, but don't go posting plain erroneous, idiotic stuff like that.
@Philly_Q there is a large overlap between Prog and Power. A couple of the bands I posted straddle the line, but they do have a lot of parallels. But 'Prog' is such a vast and wishy-washy descriptor, despite what Captain Positive up there says.
I believe I can attest to that, having witnessed Bidley on stage physically straddling that line with his Prog Power stance.

I said neither of those things, you know this. Those bands are widely viewed as having more than a few progressive elements. Prog is a descriptor rather than a genre, it applies to so many different kinds of music. Later Death and Pink Floyd are both progressive, and they sound nothing alike.
If your effort to explain your stance is to simply say "Dream Theater are awful" then I don't really need to say anything more. You're right, neither of us are the genre police, but I wasn't the one scoffing at Prog suggestions with nothing to back it up.
