vincent, if prog metal is your thing, then there is really nothing that comes close to opeth and mr. bungle, the originators of prog metal...not to mention mike patton is a fucking god.
my top 5 would be, in order of pure badassery:
1: Slayer
2: Opeth
3: Mr. Bungle
4: Pantera
5: Fear Factory
shred on. oh, i also fixed you spelling in the title. :P
