I'd have to think about it awhile to come up with my absolute top 10.
 
1. Symphony X - The Odyssey
2. Dream Theater - Images And Words
 
after that it gets foggy, I'd have to put Opeth's Ghost Reveries & Blackwater Park in there, Seventh Wonder's The Great Escape......I don't really think of Porcupine Tree as metal, or they'd get several on the list as well.

Strictly from the Prog-Metal database here:

Hall of the Mountain King - Savatage
Streets - Savatage
Perfect Element - Pain of Salvation
Remedy Lane - Pain of Salvation
Human Equation - Ayreon
The Dream Sequencer - Ayreon
Promised Land - Queensryche
Operation: Mindcrime - Queensryche
Second Life Syndrome - Riverside

Tenth spot is difficult for me to fill at this time. I'd probably say something else by Pain of Salvation (BE), Ayreon (Into the Electric Castle), Savatage (Gutter Ballet), or Queensryche (Empire). I'm not too into progressive metal anymore.

A couple albums I love but don't necessarily go with the theme of this thread:
Opeth - Heritage (It's not metal, but one of the best non-metal albums by a prog-metal band)
Derek Sherinian - Oceana (Mostly jazz-fusion, with a couple metal riffs; Derek's albums are usually prog-metal)

To say it pretentiously, it's not metal in the traditional sense, but it's unnerving in a way that reminds me of metal, so I count it as metal.

Yes, I had put a Symphony X album in my list and so I typo-ed when I got to Epica.

It's hard to pick a top ten. I just went with my first instinct but had all kinds of albums I wanted to fit in after.

Tell me about it, I could have put in a completely different top 10 with almost the same level of quality.

Virus- Carheart
Myster Mobius s/t
Negura Bunget- Om
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum- Of Natural History, In Glorious Times
Unexpect- In A Flesh Aquarium

Coyote? Love that album but not remotely metal, closer to chamber rock or jazz than anything.

I forgot to add Russian Circles in my list. I enjoy them more than Periphery, so maybe I'd swap them for the number 10 spot. Great to see Isis on your list as well. Fantastic Atmospheric, Sludgy Metal. Thumbs Up


I highly suggest the Ancestors album i have ranked so highly. Great stuff. Their sophomore album, In Sound Mind is great too. 

I'll for sure check them out. Are they similar to Isis?

Yes. They have that heavy sludge feeling to them with a great pysch flavor due to their richard wright on keys. 


That sounds phenomenal! Are they Floyd influenced? I've just been recently listening to a lot of Isis, Neurosis, Pelican, Battles, so these guys should be right up that alley.
I'll check them out tonight. I'll let you know what I think once I hear some songs. Thumbs Up
