Ryan, right on about Bonzo. He's still my favorite drummer for his personality of playing, I'll take him over all the techno-players everyone raves about all the time.

I went with ELP's Trilogy album because it's just so dern good but you really need Revolver in your collection. That's when the world turned more progressive.

It depends, there are excellent albums listed there, but very different on genre, so here:
I know you like Ac/Dc, then I highly recomend you High Voltage, though I'm surprised you don't have it yet. Let There Be Rock will go for your appeal, since you like Powerage.
From Zeppelin, I'm not a big fan of their later era, though I consider it to be their most progressive. I would go for Presence.
From The Beatles, well those 3 are classics! My fave is Abbey Road, so there.
Zappa's Waka/Jawaka is very good, not my fave, but has a lot of classic tunes.
Rainbow's Long Live Rock n' Roll, is good up to one point, but that's the opinion from a guy who doesn't like Rising.
Yes' first 2 albums are faves of mine, though they're not for the normal Prog/Yes fan. The dominate keyboard is the hammond, and the guitar is less virtuosic, etc, etc. If you have Supertramp's debut and you like it, then go for them. You like hammond? Start with Time and a Word. If you don't like it that much, then go for their debut. Though for me both are great.
ELP, well, I must say get Fanfare For The Common Man(Anthology or something of the like) of ELP. You got Tarkus(the epic) in it's entirety, plus the classics of Trilogy, and of course a lot of other great stuff which you must know. If not, get Trilogy for consistency.
Hope you find this helpful, and not boring. Merry Christmas, by the way.

I wrote a long reply here, but since PA is f**ked up at the moment, it never got posted! To keep it short: Thanks, but i've already heard songs from most of these albums! And i'm a total Beatles n00b!

Get the first Yes record! Then get the Yes BBC collection from their early period.....Banks really was a fantastic guitar player.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

I voted Time and a Word by Yes. In addition to that one, get Yes' debut, the Led Zep albums, and ELP's Trilogy.
