Start with:

V: The New Mythology Suite
The Divine Wings of Tragedy

Then get the rest!

Try some Pain Of Salvation, the concept albums will always rule! Start out with Remedy Lane and The Perfect Element I and then work your way onto BE/ 12:5 if you are a Prog Rock fan or A Hour By the Concrete Lake/Entropia if you are a Progressive Metal fan.

But you must buy the BE dvd OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES!

Adagio- Dreamscape- Vanden Plas, Pagan's Mind, Pain of Salvation, Symphony X

If you like DT and Nightwish- you'll dig these bands- EASY
