For now I'm gonna' have to say Kansas' 2000 'From Somewhere to Elsewhere.' Apparently it made #13 in Top Internet Albums for 2000. I have a Lot of catching up to do!

I think the concept of progressive rock cannot have a better landscape to play in than Christiainity. It is so ripe for this genre of music and when the two are joined some great things can ensue. It really is the ultimate combination IMO.

If you are a Christian and a Kansas fan there is a slew of Kansas/Kerry Livgren/John Elefante (more pop than prog but there is a song or two)... recommend ART OF THE STATE, SOMEWHERE to ELSEWHERE, ODYSSEY INTO THE MINDS EYE and the song by John Elefante ONE DAY (DOWN BY THE LAKE)

But for CCM check out ArkAngel's "Warrior"...we must put up some of these tracks.

Also there is Neal Morse's Testimony album...and ONE is another good one (especially the first track!)

There is an old German prog band I have called Eden which is very good. Most lyrics are not in English

A more recent (90's) band called One Hundred Days

There is Ajalon as someone has mentioned. Who doesn't love Rick Wakeman influenced "ON THE THRESHOLD OF ETERNITY"????

Speaking of Rick ....has anyone heard Wakeman's JUDAS ISCARIOT??? Of course you have....

This is going to be a fun group to explore some great new music.
