Żou should have made the question more precies.
Do you want to proceed within the styles as played by the mentioned bands.
Then try
IQ (neo-prog, similar to Pendragon/marillion/arena/some Genesis/some rush)
Eloy (debut album sounds somewhat like an Uriah Heep album, later works relate to Pink Floyd, Pendragon(other way around I guess).
Riverside, Out of myself, very good, Think you'll like it.
Arcturus, Nightwish, Within Temptation, or other Gothic prog cq progmetal.
If your looking for something different to explore, then try to specify on how different it can be, or what you don't like or do like in music.
BTW. Tomas Bodin is mentioned twice, does that mean you have two albums by him.

I'd say Jed has a good start. In a few years, you may have 0.000175 of Dick Heath's collection.

Wow! He says he has been visiting this site for several years and I was under the impression that this was a relatively new site.

Well there is not a huge scene here, since I live is a rather small town. But there are several prog musicans, and we all work together. We occationally do some work with a band called The Red Death, a death metal band signed to Metal Blade.

I can't belive I left out IQ and Eloy. I own several albums from both of them.
Thanks for the other suggestions.
TO be a bit more percise, I am just looking for more bands, new sub-generas of prog I have yet to discover. It almost seems like I have hit a wall. I own all the albums by DT, Rush, Yes (well the real Yes, not any of the posuer rehashes) SX, SB, Neil Morse, Pink Floyd, Evergrey, ect. So I am just searching for more stuff.

Well I know have been visting this site for at least two years. Now I may be mistaken, but it has got to be that long.

Where's Dick Heath when you need him
Italian Symphonic rock is very nice (if you don't mind italian lyrics) I'm not an expert, but there's a thread from a couple of days back where you can find some good suggestions (Museo Rosenbach, Bicicletto something)
Canterbury can be nice (Caravan, Can, Camel, any band that starts whith Ca,.)
Steve Hillage (Fish rising)
Magma, if you want to get spooked.
Overhead's Zumanthum is a good album
Echolyn and side projects are interresting, I'm just beginning to enjoy it.

I could go for some Itallian lyrics. I am a vocal student in college right now, so I am used to singing in Itallian.

I have two albums by Camel. Isn't Canterbury just a form of prog rock from that section of England?
