[edit] References and tone

The article makes a lot of apparently subjective assertions without supporting references or citations. Cain Mosni 02:28, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dream Theater??

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)

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)

[edit] A more detailed explanation is required

I thing a more in depth explanation of the difference between prog rock and neo-prog should be given.

[edit] Queen

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)

Agreed, but I never heard anybody call Queen as a prog rock band.

[edit] Prog Archives Opinion

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)
