Power metal:
Stratovarius - All of their stuff, but my favorites are Episode, Intermission, Infinite, and Destiny. I can listen to them for hours on end. Superb stuff.

Really liking Nightwish lately - the Wishmaster album.
Does Division count?

Prog metal:
Dream Theater - Especially Images And Words and Awake, but I love basically all of their stuff.
Symphony X - Anything at all.
Pain Of Salvation - Nothing specific, but Gildenlow is crazy. In a good way.

Fates Warning - It's all good stuff. Jim Matheos is an awesome riff writer.
Freak Kitchen - Don't know if I could classify them as anything, but I think some of their stuff counts as prog metal - especially the Move album.

Manticora - Hyperion
Nocturnal Rites - Shadowland
Into Eternity - Buried In Oblivion
