The Lick In Prog Metal 

If you have more examples of the lick in prog than comment and I'll make a part 2 if there will be enough

The Lick has practically become a genre in itself

Jason Richardson - Tendinitis, the lick is in the middle guitar solo section

Lol, I just listened to The Architect this morning

Damn I can’t believe I missed the one in creature comfort. But to be honest probably my less listened to by them

Oh, and let's not forget Jaws Of Life by John Petrucci at the 4:26 minute mark

The Regenerate one is goated imo

TYS? Never see anyone reference them!

also present in Distant Voices by Fifth Quadrant

So lick is like a guitar solo, or something, I Don't even know what it is, would Under a Glass Moon, or maybe Take the Time that part before the solos. I love Metropolis pt 1, but it's like too chaotic, and too over the top, which later would become too much in their later albums, Images and Words and Awake is where it's at. I think Take the time, Another day, Under a glass moon, and Learning to Live are the best songs.
