Progressive rock/metal suggestions?

Yep, agreed on the above ones, though I've only heard limited amounts of most of them (besides Genesis).

Although if Power Metal is what you were thinking, most of those bands we mentioned (besides perhaps certain eras of King Crimson) you might find a little too light-footed.

Sun Caged, Spiral Architect, Fates Warning, Pain of Salvation, and plenty of others I can't remember off the top of my head.

Why are people still recommending prog? The guy wants power.

So...anyone got suggestions?
only suggest the things that not everybody knows of cuz chances are, ive heard them before, after all i happen to fit into the category of 'everybody' =)
If you'd like to sample the early days of progressive rock, these are some that I have in my collection (these are in addition to Gentle Giant and King Crimson that Otohiko mentioned):

Caravan
Camel
Renaissance
Genesis esp. their Peter Gabriel period
Barclay James Harvest

Marillion is from a later period, but is worth checking out if you like it dark and lyrical and with an Eighties guitar-rock style. I like to compare them to Genesis, except that their stories are more down to earth than the fantasy tales that Banks and Rutherford put together. I prefer Marillion's Hogarth period, but the earlier works with Fish include classic songs like "Kayleigh" and "Warm Wet Circles".

Dont forget "Sugar Mice In the Rain"!!! I think I love you...lol.
