Has anyone ever listed to Neal Morse's solo albums? Like Testimony or "?"... I really liked what he brought in Spock's Beard and I'm finding that some of his solo stuff is amazing.... can go from really soft to heavy prog.... then horns, latin grooves... I think Neal has an amazing gift also. There's $0.02 worth... ;-) Anthony, I agree that Dream Theater and Opeth are certainly gifted… speed, groove, melody.. definate gift for composition.

I've been a bass player for nearly 20 years most heavily influenced by my man Geddy from Rush and while I love technical style, I think going at breakneck speed 100% of the time shows a lack of creativity not to mention it gets boring quick (Dragonforce anyone?). There are a few exceptions such as TSO as you mentioned, but I also think Dream Theater and Opeth are absolutely gifted at finding the right combinations/balance between speed, groove, and melody.
