Something like this doesn't strike any of you as metal?

Yeah, that's called hard rock. TongueLOL


"?" may be hard rock, leaning towards metal, but Sola Scriptura is definitely metal IMO.

Yeah, I don't think he's metal at all and I'm a Neal Morse fan.

well "a little hint of metal" hardly makes him prog metal.  Seeing as how there's no "metal related" category on this site (thank goodness), I think we should stick with the hundreds of thousands of bands that are indisputably metal, ya know?

Partly the lyrics, but mainly I like neither his voice, nor his songwriting, nor his guitar playing

I would call ? a metal album, also, although I've never heard One before.

I own most of Neal's prog albums nad I can say that only Sola Scriptura, the epic, is somewhere near metal. The rest of his rather extensive discography (15 studio albums listed on PA, but I guess there are more) is either progressive rock or gospel music, period. Adding him here taking Sola Scriptura as a basis is actively NOT considering the 14 other albums he released.

Listen to Sola Scriptura (part 1 of the first song played live in the first post), it's metal to the core

That's a good point. Hadn't thought of that. Thumbs Up


I'll have to put my vote forward too, I guess, being the Neal Morse fanboy I am Embarrassed, and also I have to admit Sola Scriptura is pretty metal in spots.


You'll appreciate this story, Brian... For those unfamiliar with my father (Brian knows my dad personally), he is a HUGE Neal Morse fanboy. I asked him what he thought about this addition, just out of mere curiosity. Here's how the conversation went down...

Me: "At MMA we're considering adding Neal Morse to prog metal... do you think that's warranted?"
Dad: "Metal is a type of music, correct?"
Me: "Yeah..."
Dad: "Neal IS music. Music IS Neal Morse. Therefore, how can he not be any certain genre of music?"

If that's not the response of a fanboy, I don't know what is. Stern SmileLOL

I agree though with an admin decision in this case.

Exactly. If I were to describe Sola Scriptura, ?, or even One, I would label it as progressive rock/metal (just like modern Porcupine Tree and early Riverside IMO).

I think this is something the admins should decide in the end. Neal has my support, though. Thumbs Up
