Two records come to mind: Nil - Nil Novo sub Sole and Vespero's By the Waters... Both are up and coming classics in my mind.
And I second what Logan said about Guapo, although I only have their Five Suns album.

I'm not going to quibble about a year. That was just a general guideline. I just wanted to see what others think and hopefully discover some good newer music that I(and others on here also) might not be familiar with . I never heard of Toby Driver. Also, I do like some post rock and metal so mentioning them is no big deal. I just prefer to keep them separate. If they squeak through I'm not going to call the prog police on anyone.

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Blanet
Anglagard's new album (hopefully!)
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute and Amputechture
Transatlantic - The Whirlwind
maudlin Of The Well - Part The Second. I don't know if you would consider Post Rock or Prog Metal. It certaintly has traits of both.
Kayo Dot - Coyote

I could think of quite a few from the RIO/Avant category. I don't listen to much modern music that isn't of that persuasion (modern RIO/ Avant or related). I know it's not that traditional Prog-as-genre sounding (if it was I doubt I'd like it that much), but Guapo's Black Oni is one that I would mention.
I think Koenjihyakkei's Angherr Shisspa, another from 2005, though not one that I've been that into for a long time will also have staying power. Whether it fits your parameters or not, I would like to think that Kayo Dot's Blue Lambency Downward will gain more of a following in years to come.

Within that criteria nothing much springs to mind depressingly.
Most recently I would probably pick Alkozaur - Serum Of Life. Its not tremendously original but the songs and atmosphere are strong all the way through and the vocals are just quirky enough to set it apart from other modern prog albums.
Martin Orford's last solo album The Old Road is also something I expect to be listening to in years to come.Again nothing especially original ,instead its just damn good!

The Whirlwind comes to mind (haters gonna hate ) I'd also guess that Grace for Drowning will have pretty good staying power if for no other reason than its massive exposure and the critical raving it received.
I'd say Ayreon's The Human Equation as well but your criteria miss it by a year. |

Not counting metal and post rock what prog albums from recent years(2005 to now)would you consider to be true classics or albums that will be. Another way to put it would be which ones do you think have true staying power? Again I'm looking mainly for stuff that is more or less traditional prog sounding or at least it makes you think "hey that's definitely prog" and not something else when you hear it.  It can be heavy but just not too metallish(or metal). Thanks.
