Doesnt matter if is prog or not, cause PM is very good! I would consider modern jazz or fusion, but its still has some prog influences.

Many bands on  the Cuneiform label are mighty interesting.

I like dream theater but i don't love them i find a great prog album has several genres coming into it throughout and dream theater albums tend too pick one style and stick too it the whole way through (especially Train of Thought and Awake) I find a whole DT album hard too listen too if im not in the right mood but if i am i can stick on Systematic Chaos or Metropolis Pt.2 and have a really good time. 


and if we can count the rest of North America lets mention RUSH
