thread_title: References and tone

message: Should Dream Theater be listed as a neo-prog band? It seems to me that they fall more into the progressive metal category than the neo-prog category, and their songs are nowhere near as radio friendly as neo-prog tries to be.
:I would list Dream Theater because of they huge usage of neo-prog elements. But I may be wrong. Any other opinions? --ΛэтєяиuS (talk) 16:25, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't, Dream Theater may share some similarities but overall their works fall square into the "Progressive Metal" category. Similarly, I wouldn't include The Flower Kings, since they play a very classic 70s style Prog Rock. --User:RazerWolf  —Preceding comment was added at 09:45, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Dream Theater allegedly use "elements" (though no-one says what these elements are, and I don't hear it!) from a vast array of Prog Rock - but more strongly from Metal. They are obviously a Metallica-inspired Metal band with an inclination towards technical displays. However you feel about that as a  summary, Technical displays are NOT a strong feature of Neo-Prog, and neither is a Metal sound or style, ergo, Dream Theater are not Neo-Prog.

thread_title:  Dream Theater?? 

message: It seems Queen was the first neo-prog band. If you listen to albums like Queen II (1974), Sheer Heart Attack (1974), A Night at the Opera (1975), A Day at the Races  (1976), and Jazz (1978). They have all the characteristics of neo-prog.12.65.66.93 17:27, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Queen definitely produced Prog Rock (listen to Queen II and be amazed), but never Neo-Prog. Their music had the swagger and pomposity of early Prog acts, although it's true, they produced some incredibly emotional music too. Their music fits so many categories that it's probably safest to leave them in their own category. None of their music really fits the Neo-Prog "mould" - at the time of Neo, they were playing stuff like "Another One Bites the Dust" "Radio Ga-Ga" and "Flash", which are out there by rock music standards, but not Prog in any shape or form. The albums mentioned above are a) too early and b) too close to Prog/'70s rock generally to have the "Neo" sound (Neo means "New"). I'm now wondering what characteristics the original poster heard.

thread_title:  Queen 

message: That doesn't seem like a very correct opinion. What is it documenting albums sold? Because then Dream Theater and the Flower Kings are much more popular than any of those bands combined. That Section shouldn't be there.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.29.31 (talk) 19:32, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prog Archives Opinion 

message: Interestingly, and perhaps adding confusion rather than helping here, this term also seems to reference the same period associated with the initial neo-prog movement.  It's mentioned here and there but not a lot of references are coming up although there is a Yahoo Newsgroup that references these bands and many more from that resurgence period in the eighties:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NWOBPR/summary  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.228.68.191 (talk) 20:40, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I think the sentence "Several bands from the genre have continued to record and tour." vastly understates the current size of the neo-prog scene. Sure, it's still niche status, but it isn't just several bands just barely hanging on. It's growing with an enduring cross-generational truly fanatical following  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:AF0B:E800:79DD:837C:4B43:353C (talk) 20:36, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
