Yes, The Mars Volta, Rush, Coheed and cambria, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Dreamtheater, Between the buried and me, and many others.
These are bands that make my life feel meaningful. there is no joy as joyful as sitting down and listening to some fucked up shit like Pink floyd and the mars volta on an otherwise boring day.
Anyone ever noticed that the bass is almost always mindblowing in prog? i did.
I LOVE PROGRESSIVE ROCK/METAL

don't go online much these days, fallen behind the times i guess.
i got hold of a coheed and cambria album and had a listen, nice. it's from their acoustic sessions album and i especially like "Cuts Marked In The March Of Men", probably made nicer since it's in it's acoustic avatar.
but having said that, i still go back to the older stuff for my fix when i need it.
I've always liked Jethro Tull. Saw them twice!!
I like power and progressive, too - probably my favorite metal flavors.

I apparently fear both of these sub-genres.
I enjoy selected Floyd, and am interested in the C&C concept albums... but I can't coax myself into enjoying Radiohead, which causes me to be an outcast in some circles.

There is no music I dislike other than gangster rap and some opera

I can appreciate some of the old school gangster rap like tupac/Biggie. The new stuff seems like crap though. I like to crank Wagner and Verdi on the surround sound in the house. That's good opera.
I enjoy virtually anything too EXCEPT Metal. I don't know how you guys do it. It gives me a headache.

I enjoy the following:

I personally am not a radiohead fan either. I like the song creep. but their other stuff just gives me a headache :-/ I tried to like them though. I never really thought about what genre they go under... experimental... something

At least I'm not alone in not only not liking them, but putting forth an effort to see what might be getting missed.
I guess I'll have to live with being one of those few that don't ride the hell out of Thom Yorke's nuts.

I can't help but feel like i'm missing something
I couldn't even watch there will be blood all the way through because the soundtrack killed it for me. I didn't like it much anyway, but the soundtrack drove the nails through the coffin for me.
Then I found out it was by johnny greenwood :-/ I didn't even realize that. I'm just not a radiohead sorta guy

What The HELL? You didn't watch There Will Be Blood because it didn't have a dance track? Thats fucked up! That movie is so kick ass. I just watched it again the other night and I thought the "soundtrack" was right on for that sorta movie. Its NOT a SOUNDTRACK either. Its a musical score.
Time to jump off this soap box
Hard as ever and here to make you people believe...as long as there is one person to hold hope and dream...A GOD...will never die!
