I'd like to expand my musical horizon - what is out there today with more than 3 chords?

So, going through this list one by one.

 

Tried Dream Theater, but realized I’m getting to old for anything resembling metal (I had a short phase around 18 liking stuff like early Metallica and Slayer), but the sound of too much distortion just annoys me today.

 

That said, I appreciate that musically they indeed seem to be more ambitious than your average hard rock album.

 

The Astonishing is the only album from Dream Theater I really like, and even it has a few moments of wild wailing. ;).  They toned down the metal a lot to tell the story. It is very long however, and I tend to listen to it in two halves. The story is at least as much fun in this as the music, which is interesting.

You might also look into this rock opera. It is pretty interesting, and again, tells a good story. ;)

I knew you were going to say that.

Ack - I need to go cultivate some new vices... I am getting too predictable in my old age. Either that or I am repeating myself...

Oops - well, here's one delving way back into prehistory - like back when we were freshmen, just out of high school. :)  Ted Nealy and Yvonne Elliman put on one heck of a show with this. And the cover is very cool, enough to inspire an OCD session with headphones... I think it has at least 4 chords in it, and not as much story. 

 

If I remember correctly, I think the whole thing was initially inspired by Cream's _Tales of Brave Ulysses_.

P.S.

Here is a link to Polyphemus.  One bad cyclop!
