Any and all things progressive!

In truth, I don't dogmatically constrain myself to any one particular type of music. To do so is narrow-minded and, quite frankly, stupid. What I respect is not genre or style, but talent. If you're talented, it makes no difference to me what type of instrument you play or in what style. What matters is that you're good at what you do. So keep playing and I'll keep on listening!

Some of my favorites are:

Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, TOOL, Genesis, Yes, Rush, Camel, Queen, Ozric Tentacles, PFM, Pure Reason Revolution, The Beatles, Symphony X, Blackmore's Night, Caravan, Smashing Pumkins, Big Elf, Indukti, Ayreon, Gordian Knot, At War With Self, A Perfect Circle, Blackfield, Brand X, Cat Stevens, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Goblin, Gong, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Satriani, Keane, Little Big Town, Liquid Tension Experiement, Renaissance, Sheryl Crow (musically but definitely not politically), Steve Hackett, Supertramp, System of a Down, Jet, The Mars Volta, The Who, Within Temptation, Wolfmother, Jeff Beck, Amplifier, Bulb, Demians, Calyx, Black Sun Empire, and Imogen Heap

Keep in mind that my RYM list is a work in progress and far from complete.

Oh, and as some of you fellow progheads may have noticed, Dream Theatre is NOT on my list of favorites. Why? Because despite the absolutely incredible musicmanship of that band, James LaBrie SUCKS! He has one of the worst voices in the prog metal scene, yet he's workin with one of the genre's most talented groups of musicians. His voice just totally ruins the whole experience for me. So no Dream Theater...it's Liquid Tension Experiment for me!
