I feel like these rank/list posts are getting super stale. Don't we have anything more interesting than "Top 10 albums," "Favorite album from each decade," "Top 5 Rush Songs" or "Top 5 Pink Floyd Songs." It's like recycling the same topics about the same 5-6 bands over and over again.

Somehow it seems still enough fun for enough people. Nobody needs to read it, nobody needs to reply. Why complaining? If you want different ones, do your own.

I guess you have noticed that if somebody´s starts some thread outside the most common prog, there are not much comments.

Thank you for your mention of Dire Straits's Love Over Gold (1982). I've always loved the Wakeman-esque keyboard contribution of Alan Clark on this album. It is by far their magnum opus, and as you mentioned, their "proggiest" performances.
