I need some help finding some new progressive bands/artists to listen to. I've been really getting into this genre lately - bands like Porcupine Tree, Tool, Dream Theater, Opeth, 3, The Mars Volta, Coheed and Cambria, Spock's Beard, Liquid Tension Experiment, At the Drive In, Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, etc. With Nick Drake and Pink Floyd as the exception, I seem to like new prog - older bands don't do much for me. I often find them too self indulgent or bland.

Can anybody suggest some bands (new or old, but they must be good!) that I'd like? Thanks in advance.
