Abbey Road isn't a prog album. 

If people think Octopus' Garden, Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Oh Darling warrant Abbey Road to be classified as prog.....then I will go "he".

Really the only reason why Abbey Road is partially prog related is because of the "'Medley" on side 2. Don't get me wrong, Abbey Road is a great rock album but prog? No IMHO.

OH and where's "A" from Tull? Really, it is the definitive "A" album.....isn't it? I know I'm not with the masses but I think "A" is a fantastic album.

A fantastic list and it would depend on the day of the week!

Animals V APP V Abbey Road - all brilliant.

All three only just beaten by Van's Astral Weeks - which is prog (ish)

Some killer albums on this list - Arachnoid, Animals, Atom Heart Mother, A Night At The Opera, Acquiring the Taste, Angels Egg and A Tab In The Ocean especially get my nod of approval...

But I have a lot of love for Ange's `Au dela du Delire' - any album where Christian Decamps gets to f**k-snap and display that wild manic croon is OK with me! That was also one of the very first prog albums I ever heard and nothing prepared me for it!

Voted for Angel's Egg.  Funny that that other Jethro Tull album beginning with A is not included.  Now what was it called .......... (Answers on a postcard please) ...
?
 
or ...And then there were three.....
 
Astral Weeks is a good not prog choice.

I would usually have a tough time deciding between Faith No More's "Angel Dust" and The Mars Volta's "Amputechture", luckily this is the prog section, soo...

I Will Pick Eno's masterpiece, Another Green World. He is outstanding, with a very rare talent, even though he is not a musician, he knows music better than anyone. And this is one of his best albums.
Prog is whatevey you want it to be. So dont diss other peoples prog, and they wont diss yours

While I like many of these, the only one of these that I really love is Eno's "Another Green World"

I had to pick Animals... love that album.
 
By the way, am I the only one wondering why albums with an initial article are included under A? I would have file "A Trick of the Tail" under T. No big deal, really. Wink

So keep in mind I have to limit the voting list to 24 so if you don't see a specific album ("A", "And Then There Were Three", etc...) it either means they're not in my collection or I had to cut them to make the top 24 a varied list.  That's why there's an "other" category Wink

I went with (in no specific order)

A Farewell to Kings
A Passion Play
Au Dela du Delire
Angels Egg
Abbey Road
