2. RSC - Flyrock
3. Anawa - s/t
4. Mech - Zjednoczone Siły Natury Mech
5. Niemen - Aerolit
6. Budka Suflera - Cień Wielkiej Góry
7. Skaldowie - Stworzenia Świata cz. 2
8. Osada Vida - Particles

I can tell you, Cristi, that I have often problem with Prog Metal vocals, as I don't like them being Pop influenced.
true about the vocals, if I don't like or tolerate the vocals, a lot of times the whole thing is ruined. 
What do you mean by "pop influenced"? Can you give an example?

I'll answer this later.

Haven't seen Riverside, Second Life Syndrome. Did I miss it in another Post somewhere?

This is by far my favorite Riverside album, followed by Shrine of New Generation Slaves.

I'm of Polish origin too, as you probably can guess by looking at my user name.
My favorite 8 Polish Prog albums:

Niemen - Aerolit (1975)
Niemen - Katharsis (1975)
Laboratorium - Quasimodo (1979)
Marek Grechuta - Korowód (1971)
Anawa - Anawa (1973)
SBB - Nowy Horyzont (1975)
SBB - Memento z banalnym tryptykiem (1980)
Skaldowie - Krywań, Krywań (1972)

Honorable mention from more recent years:
Contemporary Noise Quintet - Pig inside the Gentleman (2006)
Indukti - S.U.S.A.R. (2005)
Maestro Trytony - Heart of Gold (2004)

I doubt if I could guess it on basis of your user name, but when you say so, I guess you're quite a bit of Niemen aficionado - and I'd find it very probably on basis of your list here which I'm very happy to see.
Anyway, welcome very much to you as an active member on PA - or what should I say as I don't know your member history. Smile

Edit:
And our Polish taste can seem to be rather in line so, I think I'll better check those two:
Contemporary Noise Quintet - Pig inside the Gentleman (2006)
Maestro Trytony - Heart of Gold (2004)

Really? Enigmatic is the title of Czesław Niemen album, recorded in 1969, released in early 1970. It contains "Bema pamięci żałobny rapsod", 16+ min track arguably first example of progressive rock in Polish music scene.

Not the same as the rest. You may be disappointed. ;-)
Maestro Trytony - chamber music mixed with jazz.
Contemporary Noise Quintet - jazz with some progressive overtones

Yes, I know, in fact it's included as #1 in my list. But your user name is just an English word, and could be related to thousand other things, right? Smile
