There doesn't seem to be a video online for the Grand Magus song. Is there something that can be done about that?
 
Just some that haven't been mentioned yet:

Albums:
David Bowie - Blackstar
Headspace - All You Fear Is Gone
Devin Townsend - Transcendence
Haken - Affinity

Songs:
David Bowie - Blackstar, Lazarus
Steven Wilson - Book of Regrets
Haken - 1985
 
Only albums so far, I have to think on the songs a bit more:
The Neal Morse Band - The Similitude of a Dream
Theocracy - Ghost Ship
Redemption - The Art of Loss
Headspace - All That You Fear Is Gone

Disclaimer - I still haven't heard Theories of Flight by Fates Warning.

Best live albums must be the Seventh Wonder and the Kate Bush ones :D

So I'm late, so what? It's only January anyway :p
