I'd agree with everyone's suggestions so far. Very well said everyone. Salami, don't forget Freak Guitar: The Road Less Traveled [there's two albums].
Dream Theater have great albums, but what introduced me to the genre as a whole was their instrumental project without James LaBrie, Liquid Tension Experiment.
To me, the self-titled Liquid Tension Experiment and the follow-up album are two of the most important prog-metal albums.
