Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock - look for articles on these bands here.

and be very careful with the prog-metal advices here, because prog-metal is in many ways nothing but the louder brother of neo-prog (marillion et al.)

 

[Don Corleone]

[Liquid Tension]

I forgot about Eternity X who put out a disc called The Edge which is awsome.

Gordian Knot

Fates Warning!!

 

[Sargoth]

Evergrey

[JesusChristPose]

Ice Age...how could I forget...they are very good.

 

[Ayoria]

Try Aghora, Gordian Knot, Porcupine Tree, maybe Cynic (more Death metal, its amazing).

 

[AxXiZ]

Get Pain of Salvation, those guys would have invented prog if it wasn't already there. Or sumthin. Anyhow, it's the most proggiest prog there is.
Start with uh.. their discography

 

[Kushantaiidan]

Yes and Pain Of Salvation, two very different styles, two of the greatest bands of all time.

 

[arcova]

I'm gonna remention Fates Warning, probably one of the first prog metal bands along with Dream Theater...

Since when if Blind Guardian progressive?? I like BG but i would classify them within the realm of power metal.

Some other prog metal suggestions:
Wolverine
Poverty's No Crime
Power of Omens (sorry if mentioned already)
Reading Zero
Zero Hour

 

[Raven777]

Can't go wrong with old Genesis...

Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, A Trick Of The Tail, and Wind And Wuthering.. some of the best albums from one of the greatest bands to ever exist

Steve Hackett's first solo albums are great to...

..and let us not forget ARCTURUS

 

[Dryad of the Woods]

NOT CHEESE:

Dream Theater
Pain of Salvation
Wolverine
