king crimson (as others have said)
gentle giant

[Burndogg]

Spock's Beard as has already been recommended. The business.

Pain of salvation are good too.

 

[Stobzilla]

I know what "prog" means but I don't get why it needs to be attached to the word rock ?

"People are being creative ? SHIT ! We need a new genre for that..."

 

[Alex99]

Tom Jones?

 

[Minkaro]

Pain of salvation are good too.

Daniel Gildenlow has an insane voice. Probably one of the best singers in rock/metal/whatever you want to call it.

My recommendations (will include prog metal)

Ark (featuring Jorn Lande on lead vocals. I once read him described as "David Coverdale on crack")

Ayreon (epic sci-fi space opera concept albums, with guest vocalists. Yes indeed)

Coheed and Cambria (warning, high vocals everywhere)

Deadsoul Tribe (vocalist is very similar to the guy from Tool sometimes)

Devin Townsend (a complete and utter mentalist)

Kansas (yes, them who did Dust in the Wind)

Porcupine Tree (the Pink Floyd of the 90s, apparently)

Savatage (despite looking like Roy Hodgson in drag, Jon Olivia is a great signer)

Shadow Gallery (now I've reminded myself Matt Baker died, and I'm sad)

Prog rock/metal is old as hell(late 60's).....when it comes to genres there are certainly 100's of others randomly invented this decade or something just for the sake of it to get fussy about.

 

[Sassy Colin]

I found out yesterday that stuff like IQ, Pallas, Marillion etc are actually neo-progressive rock, rather that simply progressive rock.

Good stuff whatever you call it...

Neo-progressive rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

[Eriku]

The Mars Volta. Outatheirfeckinheads.

De-Loused in the Comatorium is my favourite album of all-time. It sounds like someone made an album in the year 2300 and sent it back in time.

I know it's history, I just don't know why the word needed to be attached. I disagree with it in the current musical climate as well.
