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:

Is it solipsistic in here or is it just me?

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:


Moving Waves by Focus

I feel like everyone remembers Focus for "Hocus Pocus" and that's it (though "Hocus Pocus" is amazing), but they were a solid prog band.


Voyage Of The Acolyte by Steve Hackett


Gravy Train by Gravy Train


Prologue by Renaissance


Journey To The Centre Of The Earth by Rick Wakeman


Sagan Om Ringen by Bo Hansson


Turn Of The Cards by Renaissance


Brave by Marillion


Blue Jays by Justin Hayward And John Lodge


Phantasmagoria by Curved Air


Scheherazade And Other Stories by Renaissance


Ocean by Eloy


Elegy by The Nice


The Six Wives Of Henry VIII by Rick Wakeman

Nice first chart there! Great jazz/fusion along with the prog. All truly top shelf stuff.

If you're looking for more prog, I've got a full 100 Prog chart:

I totally second previous PFM recommendation as well as Hackett's Voyage of the Acolyte.

Have you listened to early (Pre-Collins led) Genesis? Check out Selling England by the Pound and The Lamb Lays Down on Broadway.

Here's a few not yet mentioned I really stick with, including a couple from this century:

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.

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.
