Mmmm... Caravan, Crimson, Hiromi, Amon Duul II, Godspeed, Schulze, Eloy, Cardiacs, Banco, Opeth, and Magma are all excellent, though this really puts into perspective how out of its element Pale Communion is. Will vote later.

Lark's Tongues in Aspic. In Absentia is a good album too.

I know that Nursery Cryme is a good album, but I am amazed that it is the 5th best symphonic prog album. I know this is a matter of personal taste, but it's not even in my top 5 Genesis albums.

Very true. 

But i ended up going with Caravan, simply because i've been in the mood lately for more "light" music.

In Absentia, Skinny Fists, Larks and such are fantastic albums - but If I Could..'s charm and playfulness has had be enamored recently. As does many other Canterbury masterpieces.

Tough choice: LTIA, In Absentia, Clutching at Straws, and Nursery Cryme are all great choices. Went with LTIA...

Though Plump and Waterloo are top notch too.

Haven't been too impressed with what I've heard from Caravan, but I'm listening to the wrong albums it seems. Haven't heard those three.

Land of Grey and Pink is lame. I reviewed it not too long ago after being sick of reading it as their best album by far.

Without Larks I would've had a hard time choosing between Schulze, Godspeed, and Banco.

Yeah, will check them out, at some point. Come to think of it, I think I've heard If I Could once, but I don't remember how it was.

Yeah, I seem to remember reading that review a while back, and agreeing with much of it. Thumbs Up

Nursery Cryme is my obvious favourite. Next on a distance: X, Pale Communion and Ocean.

Too many good stuff and from too different epochs. I can't compare If I Could do.., Clutching At Straws, Doomsday Afternoon, Ocean, Sing to God, Larks, X, Banco and Wurdah Itah.
Others I don't know or I don't like, but sticking on the number of listens I gave it during the last 30 years it may be the Caravan's

Marillion got my vote.

Another tough one, but went with a first love, the first Caravan album I heard.  Wavered over Cardiacs and Magma...  Still can't understand why Opeth are considered prog.  I had the misfortune to see them in 2010 and there was nothing prog about them - I just don't get it!

Larks Tongue, Nursery Cryme , and If I Could Do It are equal in my opinion..... can't choose.
