I would have to say Clutch if you could consider that metal even.

Fate's Warning Rules!, Queensryche, Dream Theater (& James LaBrie/Mullmuzzler, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess), Rhapsody, King Diamond, Rush, Rainbow, Shadow Gallery, Dali's Dilemma, Into Eternity, Jacob's Dream, Savatage (& Jon Oliva's Pain), Meshuggah, Magellan, Nevermore, Symphony X, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Those are the bands I listen to I am sure there is more but I don't have all day. Even early Metallica (Ride the Lightening) & Megadeth are considered prog metal.

Rush is a tough one because they can sound very hard rock/metal at times, but I still would just call them prog rock. Vinster, I don't think the asker means any disrespect towards prog rock bands, he just want to know metal bands. Also, very good choice with Fates Warning. My favorite prog metal band is Communic.

Fate's Warning is good. I have not listened to them in years. Not since Perfect Symmetry. Since most prog bands are pretty much under the radar. I'd have to go with Dream Theatre. Do they count?
Oh, and I can play YYZ beat for beat on drums. Tom Sawyer too. What does that have to do with this question though?

Fates is a good choice, but it's a toss up between them Dream Theater, Savatage(after Hall Of The Mountain King) and Queensryche.

If talking about metal, then it has to be Opeth
and Porcupine Tree, they're one of my favorite bands, but they're only sometimes metal.

Whatchoo mean "not rock"??!! Seriously....When you can play (note for note - any instrument) Rush's "YYZ" then you get back to me...
