Coheed and Cambria: Year of the Black Rainbow
Year: 2010

Coheed and Cambria shouldn't be popular. That is all there is to it. Music that at times is heavy, progressive rock/metal, then swings wildly to emo-pop. A vocalist whose upper register touches the clouds. And most importantly, an intricate (and "out there") science fiction yarn that spans (now) five albums, each of them a concept album in a larger work. In terms of popularity, these guys should be niche at best.
Yet Year of the Black Rainbow demonstrates admirably just why they are so popular.

Ah Dream Theater. Where to begin with this band.
Despite being a Rush fan for years, and being somewhat acquainted with the whole genre of "prog rock", I hadn't really delved into the somewhat heavier realm of "prog metal". That was, until I heard "Pull Me Under" by Dream Theater. Released in 1992, Images and Words quite frankly blew me away. Thus began my long love of progressive metal.
Yet I cannot say that Dream Theater has been a constant throughout these past 18 years.
