Can of worms
Liquid Tension Experiment is just four great musicians jamming. BLS is just three jamming. They are NOT more progressive than Dream Theater. It is just a jam session. Dream Theater is progressive as they come. In fact, their material over the past few years is too complicated. I think they've lost their edge.
Of course, you said that Vapor Trails was progressive (hack cough). I have all or almost all of the stuff by most of the big "prog" bands as Bob says, so it matters not to me what's played or posted. I listen to hear stuff I may not know.
I did not see any Discipline except for the 1995 Progday version of Homegrown. I think the listeners would dig their stuff, especially "Unfolded Like Staircase". Also more Ozric Tentacles would be enjoyable to most. And Echolyn.
Byzantium - those bands you mentioned are different from one another - if you like them, great. Just that LTE is very heavy in spots.
