In my opinion, Radiohead is creating part of the future of prog, but thats not a work for one only band; I think a lot of bands of every part of the world are creating the prog elements of the future.
An example: Listen 'cabezas de cera' from mexico.....
you and whose army?

That could be, but the vocalist sounds so much better with the flower kings. He fits in so well.

Having heard ALL of those bands and ALL their CD's except Mind Sky, it's quite a hard choice. The four that seem to be the most timeless and classic are Wobbler, The Mars Volta, Riverside, and Magic Pie. These will stand the test of time for sure! If I had to pick I would have to say The Mars Volta is the future of progressive rock. My reasons for saying this are many, but I think it's easy to make the point that the Mars Volta gets attention and could be the breakthrough band, as "In The Court of the Crimson King" for King Crimson perhaps was for prog-rock back in the day. By doing something "progressive" musically by the dictionary sense, the Mars Volta has gained attention, while Wobbler, Magic Pie, and Riverside are all stuck in a certain time period or time periods (even though they make great music). ProgMetal will eventually grow old and run out of ideas (Riverside seems to be in this genre a lot of the time), Wobbler's got the golden age of prog, and Magic Pie seems to sound a little similar to Genesis, Yes, and all sorts of classic rock bands such as Deep Purple. But if classic rock, progmetal, and the golden age of prog-rock were going to take the mainstream media by storm yet again, it would have happened already!!! These three "genres" have been around for a long enough time to do so and they haven't returned.

It's that sense of new invention that the Mars Volta has, which can carry progressive rock at least for a little while. I hope the best for all these bands though, except for Coheed which is just 'MTV rock' to me, I can get the same dissatisfaction by listening to Fall Out Boy or My Chemical Romance.

They've only been around for a few years, but this isn't about the newest bands, it's about the bands who are paving the way for the future, and TMV is definitely doing that.

I strongly believe in Magic Pie, their debut deserves more listeners.

TMV ain't exactly new in the market, are they?

Unfortunately I have not heard Riverside yet.

And I hope Circus Maximus manage to find their own path!

For me its The Mars Volta adn Coheed adn Cambria all the way!

But some to look out for are Opeth, Pagan's Mind etc, but keep an eye out for the old/nu-guard like Porcupine Tree, Tool etc

For me The Mars Volta arent the prog of the future...but from the present...

for me right now "the" young prog bands are

The Mars Volta

Pain of salvation

Riverside

Opeth

...wish there were any new symph band with some new ideas...till then Wobbler are pretty damn good!

i know AMPLIFIER and they are excellent. you might
like to check out their "the astronaut dismantles hal"
EP as an introduction?

FWIW i also voted for OCEANSIZE because i like
them best out of the given list. great band!

as for porcupine tree, absolutely, also a favourite of
mine, but difficult to judge whether they are THE
referential new prog band (i wish that it was so!)
since they have been going for a long time now and
cannot really be graded as a complete newcomer.
but their undoubted ability to reinvent themselves
with each release is certainly helpful in keeping
progressive music alive.
progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

Its difficult to say. Riverside is promising, as is

Wobbler but I believe that TMV is the real future

Of prog.  I like Wobbler the most and they write

The most genuine 70’s prog from that list.

Wobbler is excellent, but in many ways the band is the "past of prog"

To me, it is unquestionably The Mars Volta who are the future of prog!

They are a whisker away from glory ... to me, it hangs on the third album being a significant step up and away from what has come before (maybe they should rope in the Wobbler keyboardist to help )
"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."
