Cacho, you beat me to it. I was going to recommend those two Camel albums, they're a must for any prog collection
If you haven't heard any Italian prog, check out Premiata Forneria Marconi, especially "Per Un Amico". Le Orme is a great group as well, listen to "Uomo di Pezza".

You might try Camel a very good Symphonic band ala Genesis. Try Mirage if not Moonmadness.
Also try ELP, quite "complex" in some ways. One of the Kings of Symphonic. Check out their debut album or Trilogy.
Also you may try Marillion and Pendragon, great Neo-Prog bands. Very Genesis influenced. From Marillion try their debut, Script for a Jester's Tear. And from Pendragon try The Masquerade Overture.
If you liked KC and Gentle Giant, you MUST check the Underground, amazing band from the same sub-genre, Van Der Graaf Generator. To start I would say Godbluff or Still Life.
If you like Magma you should check out Frank Zappa. Not exactly the same, but both with heavy jazz roots, though each album depends.

Nice list of bands there!
Being just about the world's biggest Rush fanboy, I'll definitely have to recommend them to you first.
Other recommendations:
Koenjihyakkei Dream Theater Frank Zappa Gong Return to Forever Kansas Porcupine Tree I could go on with more, but I would think those would help quite a bit. I hope they do! Feel free to contact me through a message if you want to know albums I recommend specifically, if you like certain ones and want to hear more like them, or whatever. Have a great stay at ProgArchives!  Also, make sure you look at the database for bands you're interested in; it helps quite a bit at picking out albums.
