Not much into modern stuff. (Or not AS much as the 60's-80's), but here's some modern favorites:
Rhapsody - Legendary Tales
The Flower Kings - Flower Power
Opeth - Blackwater Park, Deliverance, Ghost Reveries
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
And if the whole 90's is "modern":
Ozric Tentacles - Strangeitude, Live Underslunky, Arborescence
Porcupine Tree - On the Sunday of Life
The Flower Kings - Back in the World of Adventures, Retropolis
Dream Theater - Images & Words, Awake
Blind Guardian - Somewhere far Beyond, Imaginations from the Other Side
Death - Spiritual Healing

Considering how hopelessly trapped in 1974 I am ever since I traveled back there in high school, this is going to be a short list. Only a few of these hold a candle to my all-time favorites.
Coheed & Cambria - The Second Stage Turbine Blade (2002)
Coheed & Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 (2003)
Coheed & Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes Of Madness (2005)
Coheed & Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World For Tomorrow (2007)
My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade (2006)
My Morning Jacket - Z (2005)
The Darkness - Permission To Land (2003)
The Darkness - One Way Ticket To Hell...And Back (2005)
Korn - Issues (1999)
...and that'll do it
