DT is prog metal. I would add Adagio, Rhapsody, Sonata Artica to the list. And of course Malmsteen.

Yngwie isnt symphonic metal hes neo classical in fact alot of the bands being mentioned on this page arnt symphonic power metal bands

There is but one word which needs be spoken.

Thank you aloof I really enjoyed that. I may even turn the sound on next time. Seriously there was a classical girls group over here whose name escapes me (as do most of mt thoughts). The only problem is the acts distracts me from the music. Maybe that is the idea, or maybe they should only be watched by youngsters.

Having just discovered Nightwish of the Tarja Turunen era I have to put them no 1 closely followed by Within Temptation, and Tarja's own solo band which I saw in October in London.

If you like symphonic rock/metal you can listen to Teodasia. if you go to www.teodasia.com you can download a track that will be included in their album with Fabio Lione of Rhapsody. I heard the song and it's very good
