Pretty much anything by Pain of Salvation. As keffkaff said though...whole albums, not individual songs.
IMO Pain of Salvation is about as good as music gets. They just a really tough act to top.

Sonata Arctica can be a little progressive at times (especially in Winterheart's Guild) but it's a stretch to label them as such. They're way more power metal than progressive rock/metal.
And someone forgot to mention Liquid Tension Experiment. Oh and Ayreon too......
I'm also very into prog rock/metal lately.....

Most of the good stuff has already been listed. 
Do check out Liquid Tension Experiment, Ayreon and Pain of Salvation. POS does take some effort. I didn't like them at first, but the more I listen, the better it gets. There is just so much going on in each song, both in the lyrics and the music. Good good stuff. Ayreon is similar in that you've really got to listen.
Symphony X is another one of my favorites. More on the neo-classical side their progressiveness comes out more in their use of bizzare and shifting time signatures than in changing musical styles. I'm a neo-classical nut so I love 'em to pieces. If you like them check out Adagio, who are very similar.
More powermetal than prog, Avantasia are wonderful. The Metal Opera part I and Part II. Simply fantastic music.

Assuming you haven't checked them out already, Marillion's better albums would be more than worth tracking down, specifically "Misplaced Childhood", "Clutching at Straws", "Brave", and "Seasons End".
And I never miss an opportunity to plug Sieges Even, specifically their two most recent albums, "Sophisticated" and "Uneven". They'll be difficult to find, though.
Also, although they're more "power" than progressive per se, I heartily recommend Angra. "Holy Land" and "Rebirth" are both excellent, and their new album "Temple of Shadows" is simply fan-freaking-tastic. Far and away the best power/prog metal band working today IMO.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I already have all the Opeth albums, as well as most Rush cds, I'm checking out Spocks Beard and Pain Of Salvation now, just looking for some more albums. Yes Calder I do mean bands like Yes, I still listen to my "death metal" but I also like this sort of stuff too. OH I have a few mp3 cds of yours somehow too, I'm to scared to see what's on them, maybe I'll give them back to you next week
I'd like to add The Postman Syndrome - Terraforming. That album is beyond amazing. And perhaps more melodic death metal, but still worth a mention: Novembre and Ephel Duath. Incredible, and both from Italy. And, like others have mentioned, you can't go wrong with Pain Of Salvation. My personal favorite album is The Perfect Element, Part 1.
