Kayo Dot: Choirs of the Eye
Vektor: Black Future
Voivod: Dimension Hatröss
Enslaved: Isa
Burzum; Filosofem
Opeth: Blackwater Park
Trollmann Av Ildtoppberg: Dark Clouds Blacken the Sky on the Eve of the Thousandth Sacrifice 
Death: Leprosy
Metallica: ...And Justice For All
Mastodon: Leviathan

Does Guapo qualify? If so Five Suns in, Leviathan out. 

Death weren't prog metal yet then....

Strictly from the Prog-Metal database here:

Hall of the Mountain King - Savatage
Streets - Savatage
Perfect Element - Pain of Salvation
Remedy Lane - Pain of Salvation
Human Equation - Ayreon
The Dream Sequencer - Ayreon
Promised Land - Queensryche
Operation: Mindcrime - Queensryche
Second Life Syndrome - Riverside

Tenth spot is difficult for me to fill at this time. I'd probably say something else by Pain of Salvation (BE), Ayreon (Into the Electric Castle), Savatage (Gutter Ballet), or Queensryche (Empire). I'm not too into progressive metal anymore.

that's probably the reason I prefer it. But personally I consider Leprosy progressive, although not prog.

My list wont be very diverse but I will have a go:

BE-Pain of Salvation
Remedy Lane-Pain of Salvation
The Perfect Element Pt 1-Pain of Salvation
Anno Domini High Definition-Riverside
Ghost Reveries-Opeth
Second Life Syndrome-Riverside
Black Water Park-Opeth
Metropolis Pt2-Dream Theater
One Hour By The Concrete Lake-Pain of Salvation
Aquarius-Haken ( I know it's labeled heavy prog but is hear it more as prog metal) 

I wanted to put Opeth's Heritage and Riverside's Memories In My Head on the list but neither are prog metal.

Just give it all an hour by the concrete lake.

I'd have to think about it awhile to come up with my absolute top 10.
 
1. Symphony X - The Odyssey
2. Dream Theater - Images And Words
 
after that it gets foggy, I'd have to put Opeth's Ghost Reveries & Blackwater Park in there, Seventh Wonder's The Great Escape......I don't really think of Porcupine Tree as metal, or they'd get several on the list as well.
