Has anyone mentioned Russian Circles yet? Excellent post-metal in the vein of Pelican
Progmetal bands I like:
Dream Theater
Tool
Opeth
Mastodon
Fates Warning
Symphony X (people say they're power metal but they're far more progressive than any power metal band I know of)
Ayreon
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (Avant/RIO metal)
Pain of Salvation (I only have TPE1 which I haven't listened to in a while, it's pretty good....Scarsick is just painful to me though)
Porcupine Tree post Stupid Dream-era

Ayreon, Dream Theater, and Opeth are the superior prog metal bands.

O.K., if you're into progressive metal you gotta check out Opeth. they are by far one of the best prog metal bands I've heard. their music is really smart because of all the awkward time signatures and chords. check out their album Ghost Reveries.

I don't believe it, I've read alot of peoples posts and still no one has mentioned Umphres McGee. They play with crazy polytonality and time signatures I can't even count out. they also blend almost every kind of music: metal, soft rock, jazz,classical, and in one song they even did a blue-grass sequence!
other than that my favorites are TOOL, Dream theater, Opeth, Mastidon, and A Life Once Lost.

Umphrey's McGee are really good. They are not as much prog metal as Fusion though

Pain Of Salvation are my favourite Prog metal band. The main reason is that they are brilliant at infusing emotion in to very technical music with really impressive compositions, in short, Daniel Gildenlow belongs to that very small group of people that I would class as geneiuses. The fact that all five member are very proficiant on their instruments (well, I've yet to hear Simon Anderson play, but I doubt he'd be in the band if he couldnt keep up) is is a bonus that I think lets them do what they do so well.

This message is for A Simple Mistake:
Now I know if you have a favorite band you should stick by it and to me it seems like you're a big Opeth fan but you gotta mix it up I mean I listen to Dream Theater, Tool, Rush, A little Opeth now, The Who, Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd and so on.
So don't be all about one band man!!!

Behold.. the Arctopus, the F***ing Champs, Planet X, Indukti, LTE,
all for the same reasons.. they kick ass, breathe life into metal, and did I mention the ass-kicking part?

Opeth , Dream Theater, Fates Warning my favorutes, they're popular ha ?
Well, i've discovered the Opeth with Damnation album, this one has so influced me ! Then i bought ''Deliverence'' and it blew me again. 70's prog and death metal.
And the Fates Warning is maybe my most favorite prog-metal band, espescialy i recommend ''a pleasent shade of grey'' and ''Disconnected'' albums, but you wont be able to find APSOF sound in other albums.I recommend ''paralels'' and ''perfect symetry'' albums if you heard them first time, they're easy for enter into the bands music.

PORCUPINE TREE
I don´t know if we could consider PT a metal band.... but they play believeable music, why?.... I´m not sure but probably because I almost hate each new album they release, but two months later it´s my best album until they release one more...

Twisted Into Form, Spiral Architect, Vintersorg, and Quo Vadis are my favs
...why I like them? They all manage to stay heavy, clean, challenging and beautiful all the same time. I suppose that applies to most prog metal but those I'm in favor for most.

I find most Prog Metal to be cheesy and/or boring. But I do like Tool a lot, and also so called "Post-Metal" bands such as Isis and Pelican. Opeth have done a lot of good stuff aswell.

Kamelot - Though they're basicly power metal, the few last albums surely sounds progressive, and they kick ass !  I also like them because they tend to get better and better with each album...
Dream Theater - This is the band that got me into prog, and they really awesome ! 
my other favourites prog metal bands are including:
Symphony X, Rhapsody (cheesy, but i like it anyway )
Opeth (though i need the proper mood for listening to them)
Orphaned Land (only for the album Mabool, though )
Unexpect - some crazy music, but still awesome !
