Introduce an artist..

Mine is Porcupine Tree......the most inventive band around, I reckon.

Cool. Wasn't wild about the first one, but their myspace page has some cool stuff on it. Creepy album cover.

Listened to it again, yeah, it's cool. They have an in store performance on their myspace site too.

Brywool...glad you gave the other tracks a listen too...this band are very eclectic so it's hard to find one song which is representative.

I'd say "Anesthetize" is the most representative of their career. It's got the psychedelic stuff, the soft atmospherics, the electronics, and the metal all wrapped into one beautiful tune.

My musical tastes are all over the place...I'm fond of blues as well.

Here's an EXCELLENT guitar player, Ryan McGarvey, who is only 21 years old. I flew out to NM to see his band last month and he's just incredible. Kinda got a bluesy/rock feel.

Yes...that's a good choice Progrocker. I guess another one might be "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here"....

I don't think that song is as much representative of PT, as it is one of the most kick-ass songs ever crafted. Amazing rhythmic work and great lyrics. Some good guitar solos, by both Steven Wilson and Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth.

You're right...it isn't as representative...but it still has a wide range of styles and moods....from ambient...to CSN-style harmonies...to thrash metal. But it's only a mere 12 minutes long too so I guess it it can't really compete with the 17 minutes of glory that is "Anesthetize".

Still...totally agree on how great ASBNT is...possibly my favourite PT track.

Was listening to Moonloop earlier. Do you like that mid-90s period?

And I've never heard Opeth...what's the best track to start with?

I LOVE the Mid-90s period. I don't listen to it as much as I do the stuff from Stupid Dream forward, but it's still some very good music when I'm in more of an electroambient mood. PT was more Radiohead than Radiohead in those days.

I honestly don't listen to Opeth... one of my buddies is a hardcore fan though. If you don't mind death metal growls, Opeth is an incredible band... but if you're like me and get turned off by "cookie monster" singing, I wouldn't recommend it.

....Just got off the horn with my buddy, he says to try out the album Blackwater Park. It's a mix of clean vocals and growls, and Steven Wilson guests as both a vocalist and guitar player. Says it's their In Absentia, so to speak.

Trivia: Opeth is related to Journey! Well, not closely, but still related. Jeff Scott Soto performed in Talisman with Frederik Akesson, and Akesson recently joined Opeth as an additional guitarist.

I'm the same here. I love the music of band "Bullet for my valentine", "Killswitch", "Avenged Sevenfold", "Trivium" (not sure if any of them are known in America), but as soon as all the screaming kicks in I cant hack it, its annoying because some of the music is just fantastic

Same here! I LOVE the music some of those bands put out. I'm rocking the hell out to it and then all of a sudden... "GWAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and I'm like... what gives....

Yeah, those four bands you just mentioned are getting pretty big over here across the pond among mainstream metalheads.

My friends all seem to agree that Killswitch Engage's cover of "Holy Diver" is better than Dio's original. Pfft.

How about Natalie Grant on you tube singing I'm not alone. She is powerful like Ann Wilson.
