Good heavy/normal Progressive rcok with good singing/vocals bands?

[soulslicer]

I have been looking for bands like these for a while, and most of the good one's i find lack vocals. Could you all recommend me any good bands?

... What?

Look, I know I had a discussion once about recommending and suggest music through users on a forum and how wonderful the end result can be, but your questions are getting broader by the topic.

I mean, ''good vocals''? As opposed to what? What is normal? Give us some comparisons to what you have already heard and have dismissed as bad vocal bands and not normal sounding progressive rock.

At the moment you're pretty much asking people to help you find a certain genre of music. This is the Internet. Listening to music has never been easier. Just Google and Wiki 'progressive rock' and see what the top searches/articles come up with and give them a shot.

King Crimson, Yes, Dream Theater, Pink Floyd... the list is endless.

However, I doubt they're really what you're looking for. It might be too proggy.

Tool is excellent, my favourite prog band by far :)

Hmm... 'V' by Spock's Beard. Or 'The Light', same band.

Iced Earth

Give "Dark Saga" a listen.

An empty soul!

Shrowded in darkness!

Alone and confused...

WHAT AM I!

Haha, gets me every time. :D

Iced Earth is hardly progressive rock and/or metal; they fall somewhere in between thrash and power metal. That said, I guess you could do worse, and Matt Barlow has an excellent voice, but the music itself really is pretty damn bland. I think that Jon Schaffer only knows how to write about three different guitar riffs and repeat them over and over.
