Agaetis Byrjun is the best album of the last decade, IMO.

Dream Theater- Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence

The Flower Kings- Unfold the Future

The Tangent- A Place in the Queue

Rush's MOVING PICTURES was the first prog CD I got my hands on, and I was speechless. 

HOWEVER, a few years ago, I picked up "Damnation" from Opeth, when it came out.  My jaw hit the floor, and it left me in tears.  Bloody brilliant.

Guapo's Black Oni really showed me what music can be like and I listened to it nonstop for about 2 weeks. Granted, it isn't perfect, but it is flawless in design and the musicianship is brilliant to say the least.

There's not that many, but Mars Volta's "Frances the Mute" and especially YUP's "Keppijumppaa" are freakin' awesome albums!
