Of the current generation of bands both The Mars Volta and Pain of Salvation are two bands I really love.

I like Kansas as well also, but I don't label them in the same category as being a core progressive rock band like Rush is.
The main reason to me is, Rush is a 3-piece band that never misses a lick and their music fills so much space, going anywhere and everywhere musically to perfection. Live or in the studio. (only in my personal opinion of course).
Rush and Progressive Rock is like Judas Priest and Metal. (Innovators)
