you already covered most of the bands that I would have mentioned ... so please excuse the prog metal nature of my recommendations.

  • Dream Theater (A Change of Seasons, Octavarium)
  • Jethro Tull (Thick as a Brick)
  • Fates Warning (A Pleasant Shade of Grey, The Ivory Gate of Dreams)
  • Symphony X (The Divine Wings of Tragedy, The Odyssey)
  • Can (Bel Air)
  • Porcupine Tree (The Sky Moves Sideways, Voyage 34)
  • Neal Morse - One (Three epics here)
  • Redemption (Sapphire)
