Off the top of my head
Brain Salad Surgery
Foxtrot
The Human Equation
Moon madness
Fragile
Close to the Edge
Selling England by the Pound
Thick as a Brick
These are the albums I still listen to and are all masterpieces. The others have tended to wear off over time.

Hi, I wonder why the Hall of Shame doesn't think this thing known as "progressive" is a joke ... we can't even appreciate/agree on what makes it, and the variances and choices are so far apart, as to actually dismantle the definition and its purpose. SAD! I'm just curious to find out if all the folks that wrote their choices here, actually heard the other stuff, because I have that funny feeling, that they have not, and this makes it to be just like the Hall of Shame folks ... they never heard anything other than the top ten anyway ... or at least a famous hit of some kind! Or famous musician that the GM paid for to be listed?

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

^Your funny feeling is because you think so highly of yourself and never take into consideration other people besides yourself know something about music.

I think that these lists, including mine, have more to do with undeniable classics. 'Shkito, you're very welcome to add a list of your own which may be full of refreshing suggestions  .
