I've been pretty deep into Progressive rock for a while, but I'm always looking for new stuff. I like the usual stuff (ELP, Rush, Yes, King Crimson) but I've also been slowly getting into the more unknown stuff like Caravan and Camel. Is there any other relatively obscure, or even newer groups I should check out?
Also here's my top 40 all-time (only 40 b/c I'm new)

Premiata Forneria Marconi are bomb. I lean more towards prog-folk though, so I'd also recommend Comus and Harmonium.
If you're after something modern, I'm probably not the first person to mention these guys but Porcupine Tree pretty much defined my adolescence and they hold a special place in my heart to this day:
I've got a Prog chart if you want to check that out, but here are some prog albums that I like that are a bit more under-the-radar than your usual Yes, Rush, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Genesis stuff:
I didn't see any Genesis on your list, give Foxtrot or Selling England by the Pound a listen if you haven't yet.
I'm a Tool fan, so even though they may not be exactly like Rush or Yes or ELP, they are a phenomenal band in my opinion. Check out AEnima or Lateralus.
Great chart so far! Seeing my all time favorite album, Songs in the Key of Life, sandwiched in between arguably my favorite Rush album and one of the best Miles Davis albums was very cool. _________________ Attention all planets of the solar federation: We have assumed control.
I'm glad to have looked at your chart, read everyone else's recommendations, and see that no one's recommended the following directly or indirectly yet:
Semiramis - Dedicato A Frazz (italian prog rock)
Bohren Und Der Club Of Gore - Sunset Mission (jazz - based on your chart you should try it out!)
someone already posted a chart that includes Magma and that was the first band that came to mind looking at your chart full of jazz and prog. I really think you'll like Magma. and if you do, check out Area as well, crazier vocals but musically amazing. someone also had Zappa in one of those charts, Hot Rats is def one to check out. for some reason Opeth came to mind even though it's prog death metal, maybe b/c you had Kendrick Lamar so high in that chart that was otherwise all jazz/prog. if you're that open minded maybe Opeth would be a good idea.
