Anekdoten - great stuff very reminiscent at times of old King Crimson circa Red era.
Mechanical Poet - band from Russia that is going to kick ass, the mp3's to their EP are out there and they are finishing their album on Code 666 records
Ozric Tentacles - Space Prog Rock, these guys have been around forever it seems, mostly instrumental stuff and of course my friend Pellaz will swear by them!!!
Dead Soul Tribe - excellent music from ex-Psychotic Waltz singer Devon Graves...while you are at it check out Psychotic Waltz
Of course there some old school stuff like It Bites, IQ, Pallas, Marillion, FM, UK, Discipline, Djam Karet(sp?), Camel, Allan Holdsworth, etc...I will check my collection for some other stuff

The main name you need to know: Neal Morse.

Get anything and everything he has done and you will not be disappointed. The man is a true genius when it comes to music and his lyrics are the best I have heard in decades.

His projects include:
Spock's Beard
TransAtlantic
Yellow Matter Custard
Solo: Testimony, Self-Titled, It's Not Too Late

"By the power of Greyskull and Ozric Tentacles, WarmWetOs is right!"

Suggested Ozrics CDs if you can find them: Erpland, Live Underslunky, Jurassic Shift, Arborescence, Waterfall Cities, Strangeitude. Really, anything they've done since the days of the old cassette-only releases is pretty good.

Ozrics have an almost unique sound in all of music -- the Finnish band Hidria Spacefolk comes closest to replicating it, IMO -- and they have an unusual following: fans include Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater, Gregoor and Marcel from Lemur Voice (Sun Caged, etc.), Mikael Akerfeldt and Peter Lindgren of Opeth, Brian Fair from Shadow's Fall, and others. :Spin:

First off Edguy and Kamelot are not Prog rock

Here are some good ones:
Ayreon
Pain of Salvation
The Flower Kings

I havn't too many great modern prog rock bands though

DGM
Madsword

Don't forget about Magnitude 9, Riverside and Threshold !!

Strange, Ozrics are pretty widely "shared" Out There. The End Records used to carry a fair number of Ozrics CDs at good prices (I'm not sure why, but then again, they carry The Changelings, too ), but I think they're down to one or two titles in stock, now.

I'll also toss in a vote for the latest Ayreon, The Human Equation -- it will almost certainly be my, err, CDs of the Year. (Kinda unfair 'cause there are two CDs )

Poverty's No Crime is great!
