Almost as good as Beige .


On a more serious note, Syd Arthur are excellent ('mellow' but not 'depressing', hopefully?)

Mastodon's "Crack The Skye" album is proggy/ conceptual. Nowt else of theirs is like it, but I think this one's worth a listen.

Anyone said Coheed and Cambria yet? Not really my bag, but I think they have some Rush-esque/ Proggy moments...?

Samgb

Van Der Graaf Generator.

I cant believe nobody has mentioned them yet. I know they arent a guitar band as such but they are right up there. All of their 70s stuff is fantastic and they are still going strong today producing decent albums.

Peter Hammill is a genius

Got Crack the Skye, The Hunter and whatever the new one is called.

And yes Coheed... Long time fan, seen them live 2 or 3 times. I don't like anything before the Good Apollo... album. But their most recent double offering is awesome.

I forget people label them as "proggy" lol

Later Iron Maiden - Brave New World, Dance of Death, Final Fontier - are quite proggy. As is Seventh son of a seventh son.

All worth a listen.

Threshold, Pagan's Mind, Frost*, The Flower Kings (slightly jazzy Swedish prog), Enchant - the list goes on! :-)

Gentle Giant,

@CeeBee I had guitar lessons from Kerry Minnear when I was at college, a true gent that guy.

I really should look him up and drop him a line, I think he still lives near my parents in Solihull.

Fazer

i've been checking out the suggestions and some goods finds in there - cheers!

i'll add:

Octahedron

I kind of just thought of some others that I have!

Someone mentioned Mars Volta. I've got a handful of their albums.

- Oceansize (I have the Self-Preserved While the Bodies Float Up album)
- Pure Reason Revolution

And some others I don't have yet that I would consider progressive...
- OSI
- Circus Maximus
- Avantasia (almost breaks my "no symphonic metal" rule! But not quite)

beed84

I forgot to mention Symphony X.

No it doesn't. It stopped after Enchant.

Reverend

Astra, as already mentioned.
Diagonals.
Purson.
Curculus.
The Earls Of Mars.


For older stuff you may not know,

Bodkin
Gracious
Aardvark
Gravy Train
My Solid Ground
Fuzzy Duck

Another vote for Pure Reason Revolution from the more recent stuff

Oldies, but goodies (and VERY prog)

Gentle Giant

Jethro Tull (early -mid 70s)

Gabriel era Genesis

Van der Graff Generator

Emerson Lake & Palmer (Try Trilogy or Brain Salad Surgery)

Caravan

Hatfield and the North

Egg

Ooh I own a copy of JT's "Aqualung", how did I forget that???

What other albums would you recommend? The little pack of 5 studio albums is always floating around in the shops over here.

Octahedron

I also have a Neal Morse album. Gosh I had more prog than I first realised :P haha.

paul_xt

Karnivool are a good listen, especially the 'Sound Awake' album. They're touring next month too

I have that album! I wasn't sure I would necessarily go for the prog label. But I love that album. Asymmetry is pretty good too though

Bidley

For Jethro Tull, I would recommend Thick as a Brick and Minstrel in the Gallery. If you want more folky styles, Songs From The Wood is a good starter.

Also, Genesis' Selling England by the Pound is a great album.

Philly_Q

So it doesn't need to actually be new?

Kansas.

Octahedron

Oh sorry @Philly_Q yeah it doesn't matter if the band is "new" or not I just meant "new to me"
