I'm sure you're a Yes fan, they're one of my favorite prog rock bands back in the day, you can definitely hear them in Dream Theater.

And this is Nightwish, beautiful symphonic on a beautiful female vocalist.

Offtopic but I thought you might like them. |
The first one I liked very much. Obviously all talented musicians and tight as a group. The drummer is kick a$$. I have always been a Yes fan. I also could hear a little Uriah Heap,Rush,Genesis,Blue Oyster Cult flavor to this song. All great bands in their own right. Their music is much more complex than I would have imagined from a so called heavy metal band. Also a little Jazz/rock fusion flair. You may have an Opeth convert. The second song was strong and passionate. The female voice kind of reminds me of Pat Benatar which I have seen live and an early female rocker I have always liked a lot.
By the way Mr. Barrett I figured you did know of Sade, but not many young guys or gals are into music as passionate and with gusto as you seem to be. All those varied music genre's will be a positive influence on your personal style as a musician. The best musicians that I know of have those varied musical influences. Eric Clapton one of my favorite guitarists if not my favorite all time comes to mind.
I got off track right with you. Besides Sade no one elses music comes to mind at the moment. The best I can do to get back on track with this thread. Sorry gang!
