Recently, I've been getting into prog rock, and I need more bands to listen to. I dig Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, King Crimson, and a couple others. I particularly like King Crimson's heavy, jazzy sound so bands like King Crimson are appreciated. Thanks!

I don't listen to too much of the more classic prog stuff, but here are some more modern ones that you might be into:

Porcupine Tree (Gavin Harrison was the drummer in King Crimson)
The Pineapple Thief (Another Gavin Harrison band)
Haken (Recommend starting with The Mountain - my favourite)
Leprous (Older stuff has more distorted/screamed vocals, newer stuff is a lot cleaner)
Thank You Scientist

Progarchives is your friend. They've basically catalogued and rated the entirety of prog so if you need more stuff to listen to the highest rated albums there.

Here's some stuff you might like though: Mahavishnu Orchestra, Can, Frank Zappa, Return To Forever
