It's Progressive Metal (according to progarchives.com) They often work with a harpsicord and the vocals are sung by a female vocalist, who sings very operatic (is that a word?)

Progressive Metal
- harpsicord
- female vocalist
- opera-like vocals

Vanderwoude, am I right, or am I right?

I haven't heard to much about them, but what I've heard I liked it.

I've heard of the name Nightwish before but I have never heard any of their music.  How would you characterize their music besides being progressive?

You mean, besides being not really progressive? Erm, Gothic Metal would fit, methinks.
Arriving somewhere, but not here....

I think they're rather progressive.
Maybe not all of the albums, but hey, not all of Genesis' albums are progressive either.

Indeed, their music can be characterised as being gothic metal.
''I'm a million times removed, from the socially closed world.''
I can imagine, that wouldn't be too nice.

I think Tuomas Holopainen ought to do a bit more in the way of proper keyboard work... he seems to prefer to use samples of solos on tour, which is a shame... seeing as he writes it all... :-\

Nonetheless, I do like Nightwish myself. :)

I think Innuendo and The Miracle were two of Queens strongest albums (and that's saying something ;) ). Interesting too because The Miracle was the first album where they wrote as a group instead of individually and I think they certainly benefited from that approach ;D
The same with Innuendo:), though some of the songs can be traceable to individuals (like I guess "Show must go on" was written by Brian May, "Ride the Wild Wind" by Roger, "Delilah" by Freddie and so on... but I am not 100% sure) Actually, both Innuendo and Miracle are my absolutely favourite Queen albums :) though I also like older stuff especially "Queen II" and "Night at the Opera".

It's gotta be said, Innuendo is my favorite Queen album! :)

I erased all the bands who were still going zero (except Fish), people who liked the erased bands please tell me which band it was I will add it so afterwards You can vote on it, I just wanted to make the list more easier to overview. So there's nothing in the list (except for Fish I wanted to give him a second chance to get votes) that is unvoted.
Walk along the Waterfall, watching as the world turns red
Wonder where the river flows, and the blood on the River bed
Poison lies to close to us, Reach across the salt and Sand
Moving Deeper into the Land

Appelmoes??

I'd leave the list like this. You now have a nice list for people to choose from :)

Voted.... but a little sad for me - just 4 (including mine) for Porcupine Tree  :-\
And what I have to say - I didn´t vote for Arena  ::) *hiding* ... they are a great band, but my favours are  PT Ayreon and Pink Floyd... I could name more, but the vote is just for three ;) if there were more possibilities, Arena would be in it....

Could only vote for 1 and half bands from that list!
Arena obviously and Marillion, but only with Fish - can't stand Hogarth!!

Most of my music tends to be a bit heavier so I would have voted for the likes of Savatage, CircleIICircle, Desolation, DarkTranquility, Insomnium, Swallow The Sun, Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Sentenced etc, etc, etc........

I can't believe an epic prog band like the wurzels has been kicked to the curb!  in a poll like this they should be number 1

The Wurzels...

No I'm sorry, never heard of them.

Didn't they write 'Combine Harvester'?

it goes:-

I am a cider drinker, I drinks it all of the day
I am a cider drinker, it takes all my troubles away........etc, etc

All part of a movement known as scrumpy and western.

Of course the best known song was indeed combine harvester, and it went:

COMBINE HARVESTER (BRAND NEW KEY)
12/06/1976 - 2 weeks at #1 - 13 weeks on chart

I drove my tractor through your haystack last night
(ooh aah ooh aah)
I threw me pitchfork at your dog to keep quiet
(ooh aah ooh aah)
Now something's telling me
That you'm avoiding me
Come on now darling you've got something I need

Cuz I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony
I got twenty acres
An' you got forty-three
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key

She made I laugh ha ha

I'll stick by you, I'll give you all that you need
We'll 'ave twins and triplets
I'm a man built for speed
And you know I'll love you darlin'
So give me your hand
But what I want the most
Is all they acres of land

Cuz I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony
I got twenty acres
An' you got forty-three
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key

Ooaah she's a lovely bit of stuff an' all

For seven long years I've been alone in this place
Eat, sleep, in the kitchen, it's a proper disgrace
Now if I cleaned it up would you change your mind
I'll give up drinking scrumpy and that lager and lime

Cuz I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony
I got twenty acres
An' you got forty-three
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key

Who loves ya baby ha

Weren't we a grand couple at that last wurzel dance
I wore brand new gaters and me cordouroy pants
In your new Sunday dress with your perfume smelling grand
We had our photos took and us holding hands

Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key
Now that we'me both past our fifties I think that you and me
Should stop this galavanting and will you marry me
Coz I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key

Aahh yu're a fine looking woman and I can't wait to get me 'ands on your land




Such utterly inspirational lyrics ;D :D ;D

I've got a brand new Barclay James Harvester,
In the key of 'D'.
Come on now let's get together
In perfect harmony....
I got a twenty-necked guitar
An' you got a Hammond B3...
