Wolf People - Steeple.
A mix of folk, blues, prog, psych and heaviness. This young UK band are probably not proggy enough to be included on PA but their debut album is a real knockout. Listening to it I heard influences from Cream, Hendrix, Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention, and Free. The epic track Banks of Sweet Dundee reminds me of Wishbone Ash c.Pilgrimage. It might be retro but it's damn good!

Porcupine Tree for me, eight weeks ago I had no recordings by them, went to see them live and they blew me away, So being the impulsive sort, i went out and bought 14 of their albums, its a kinda OCD thing I have

My biggest discoveries this year I would have to say were mainly non-prog bands, but bands that in a way or another are related to prog (or new prog) and even some Rap (or Hip Hop, whatever the name of that genre of music actually is):
Deftones Muse Incubus (Wow! Some band!, their albums "A Crow Left Of The Murder" & "Light Grenades" should be listened by all who call themselves music lovers) Niemen (recommended psychedelic-blues-prog-rocker from Belorussia) Neal Morse (actually discovered him last year, but it was only until this year that I really was blown away by his genius) Tangerine Dream (and a few other similar bands, Can for example, but TD especially)
On a separate category I'd like to note some Hip Hop that has seriously blown my mind away: Jedi Mind Tricks (Hip Hop duo who use orchestral, symphonic and just very original sampling and of course incredible lyricism and flow) Wu-Tang Clan (and some of their solo materials, especially GZA, Method Man and RZA)
And I would like to propose a toast to musical open-mindedness and understanding.

Plastic People - Birth Control
I've known this band for 2 years or so but my fav albums were always Operation and Hoodoo Man. So this year I disovered Plastic People is even better than those two albums.

Big Big Train
Bubu
Garbarek, Anja
Flood
Gorishankar, The
Rhodes, Happy
Univers Zero

STRAY homonymous debut.
Seems I always had a copy of "Suicide" and the third release , but somehow this slipped thru the cracks.
Was totally blown over this year by the excellence of the first lp.

This thread needs a serious revival!
One of the biggest discoveries for me recently was hearing Alcest's Écailles de Lune. What a beautiful album!
Of new music, I am thoroughly impressed with what I've heard of the recent Henry Fool record.
