PA top 100 can't be too wrong (accept possibly recent albums). Everyone has a say here.

I do, but that's because I don't really care about physical copies and tend to just use iTunes or burn my uncle's copies (he has most of them as well). I haven't listened to all of them.

I could recommend a lot of them.

Deloused for starters. It's probably the best and most unique prog metal album out there. Then Riverside and Pain of Salvation, as they are also really great prog metal bands with great albums, although Riverside tends to drift more Floydian and Pain of Salvation goes towards stuff like Fates Warning and such. Both albums are definite must haves though.

If you're into more traditional metal or just a fan of concept albums, Operation: Mindcrime is a must have. It's up there with The Wall if you ask me.

Misplaced Childhood is definitely the best neo-prog album and neoprog tends to be kind of divisive in the community so if you're into that kind of thing you should go for it, and if you've never heard any well this is probably the album to start. That or Clutching at Straws which somehow didn't make the cut.

Also Scheherazade is an amazing album, at least listen to the ending song on it because it's simply a beautiful piece of honest symphonic prog.

31here. And like Metalmarsh, they're almost all in the first half of the list; the only ones I have from 60 and below are the two PT albums and the Tool one.

In the Land of Grey and Pink and Mekanik Destrukiw Kommandoh are probably the two must not miss albums in the second 50.

I'm also going to throw my 2 cents in here and emphatically suggest Opeth's Ghost Reveries. It's in my top 5 and is a true desert island album for me. I can't brag on it enough!

Blackwater Park is good too. And so is The Inner Mounting Flame by Mahavishnu Orchestra. Second Life Syndrome by Riverside is one that seems to fluctuate between the upper and lower 50 quite often, so I don't know if you'd be including that or not, but if so, I highly recommend that one too. The others I'd recommend have already been suggested by others who beat me to the punch Wink
