Supertwister!
My gosh, do I get nostalgic/sentimental when the keys and flute hit during that middle section. It's like sipping a hot cup of coffee and staring out your front window on a mid-winter's morning...
Supertwister packs more prog into three minutes than some groups do with 10-20 minute epics.
Precisely why it's always one of the first that I show to "new comers".
Lunar Sea is another one for sure. That fade-in bass line against that drum pattern screams prog/fusion to me.

These would be great examples to introduce a newbie to prog and of course scream prog:
Close to the Edge
Firth of Fifth
Supper's Ready
Xanadu
Close to the Edge and Supper's Ready are collections of songs within a song, in my humble opinion, so I doubt they fit here. By the way, love your avatar. Saw the original painting at an art auction in L.A. in the early '90s.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Karn Evil 9, and The Endless Enigma too !!
Endless Enigma has so many typical prog ingredients. Someone once described it a 'hymn'. Probably about right!
KE9 - Man v machine and dystopian future. TICK
'Hymn'? Damn right Richard! And the more I listen to them the more I love them! And unfortunately I'm gonna have to buy via Intenet the eagerly awaited album Keith Emerson - Three Fates Project, don't find it in the CD stores, and sadly neither the rest of his discography... Believe it or not I never bought anything by means of Internet, there are still many "cheatings" in my country, go figure that...
Man v machine and dystopian future - 30 years ago they were absolutely right about what is happening today... What do you mean by TICK btw?
