R&P: What are your top 5 prog metal albums?

Inspired by Elliot's question! :)

I haven't discovered anything "fantastic" in the progressive metal world for a good two months, so I hope you fellas can introduce me to something mind-boggling through your favorites-lists.

Here's mine;
ayreon - universal migrator part 2: flight of the migrator
guilt machine - on this perfect day
dream theater - train of thought
liquid tension experiment - 2
pyramid theorem - pyramid theorem / frost* - milliontown (both melodic prog rock/metal (borderline))

BQ: How's the weather where you are?
BQ2: Find anything fantastic musically recently?
BQ3: Favorite progressive rock/metal band?

I dislike harsh vocals.
You do.
Don't patronize me for that.

Dream Theater - Images and Words
Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle
Distorted Harmony - Utopia
Votum - Time Must Have a Stop
Kamelot - Epica

BQ: Still colder than I would like
BQ2: Just started getting into King Crimson
BQ3: Wow, I can't pick just one. I'll give you 3: Marillion, Yes, Dream Theater

And awesome pick with Milliontown. I love that album, only reason it's not on here is because I don't really consider it prog metal....it's more neo-prog than anything.
