Great write up, very well done. I particularly like how you separated each of the 'Big Six' into their own categories with similar bands. Really really clever and well executed.I've always considered myself a huge fan of the whole instrumental thing and am really glad to see this, but know a lot of comments like 'you didn't mention xxxx' or 'well if you like xxxx then check out xxxx', which makes me think two things. First, this post should be included in the sidebar, and, second, there should be a master list of instrumental bands spanning the entire spectrum from pure shred like Michael Angelo Batio to stoner/sludge like Capricons.With that in mind, I'm going to begin compiling a list of all the instrumental bands I'm aware of, and anyone else I can find, that will include whether they're prog metal or prog rock, and also include sub genres such as djent, sludge, metalcore, or whatever the appropriate sub genre(s) might be. If anyone's interested in helping reply here or PM me. Hopefully this list can get a solid start to it by the end of the year. Awesome write up, very well done!
