I'm with Scott on his list, specifically Frost*, Arena and RPWL, all three are quality albums.
The first album that I think of when I'm in a Neoprog mood (which is quite often mind you) is Contagion also by Arena.

All of the bands & artists mentioned are excellent and recommended. I will also add my favourite of the moment, Introitus. Elements, a 2011 release, is pure gold.

Sadly, I have not heard Contagion yet. I've only got a couple of albums from Arena, but I really need to remedy that one of these days.

I expect that I would. I've not had much luck with finding their music at non-import prices. I haven't looked in a while though. Maybe I'll get lucky.

I recommend you to start with this two albums: 
Script for a Jester's Tear by Marillion: Defined Neo Prog with masterpieces as the title song and Garden Party
Masquerade Overture by Pendragon: Masterpiece, not a weak track, and the CD has some good bonus tracks as The King in the Castle that reminds me of Entangled.
Enjoy
Iván

PA's Neo page is a good guide
As is frequently the case I would recommend to investigate a bit in chronological order, because in this way you feel the way the sub-genre actually developed and you experience it in a similar way as those of us who were following it at the time. As Ivan says the first albums by Marillion defined the genre (don't forget Grendel which was actually their first EP, now more easily found in the B'Sides Themselves CD).
Pendragon, Arena, Twelft Night, IQ and Pallas quickly followed.
Some favourites of mine are:
Marillion: Script / Fugazi / Misplaced Childhood and Clutching At Straws
Jadis: More Than Meets The Eye
Arena: Pride / The Visitor
Quidam: selt-titled debut
IQ: Tales From The Lush Attic / The Wake / The Seventh House
Pendragon: The Jewel (is not sooooo good but defines the sub-genre as well) / The World / The Masquerade Overture
Pallas: The Sentinel (not a masterpice either but also defining a sub-set of the genre)

Surprised there aren't more comments saying how neo prog is terrible but giving no real reason why.
Not sure what this genre really is but I've heard an album by that band Pendragon and it didn't seem too bad.
