2) Porcupine Tree (hate their music and its impact on today's prog)
3) Arjen Lucassen's various projects (hate the lyrics and the atmosphere)

My spirit is weeping, For freedom it cries, Been scraping my living In the valley of lies. Gonna ride the night to the morning sun. Resurrection is a gonna come.
