Prog rock?
ForteBass:
I love King Crimson...
ExplodingBunnies:
Charlie - Here are some great prog albums.
Rush - Moving Pictures, 2112
Dream Theater - Scenes From A Memory
Yes - Fragile
King's X - Gretchen Goes To Nebraska
King Crimson - Larks' Tongues In Aspic (This is probably the hardest to get into, but if you can, it's very rewarding)
Enjoy!

Prog Rock is far from a dead genre. Modern Prog Rock (Post-Prog?) has some really incredible and diverse groups out there. Of course, everyone knows about G!YBE, but then you have lesser known acts like Coheed and Cambria (yes, they are prog. No. Don't argue. They are. Get used to it.) and, my favorite of the progs, The Mercury Program. The Mercury Program wins all. if I was a "listen to music while going to bed" type, I would listen to The Mercury Program, and have dreams of being awesome in all sorts of different scenarios.

Ahh now we're getting into the fun parts of my dad's album collection :)
Genesis, before they gave Phil Collins a mic they were quite prog, Foxtrot is still my favourite Genesis album.
Pink Floyd. Up until The Wall, that is.
The Who - Quadrophenia, great album.
Jethro Tull. Hurrah for insane-looking flute players standing on one leg.
Queen, believe it or not, their first two albums were pure prog, and they kept going back to the theme on albums like A Night at the Opera.
Emerson Lake and Palmer. Brain Salad Surgery is a work of art.
Alan Parsons Project.
Electric Light Orchestra.
Camel.
Yes. To add to Fragile, I'd also recommend Close to the Edge and The Yes Album.
David Bowie. One can hardly forget Space Oddity when mentioning prog rock.
ExplodingBunnies:
I agree with you on those! Even some artists like Bowie and Queen who most consider within the "classic rock" or whatever genre you like dabbled into some progressive stylings at some point.
