I have lots, I hope you all do too. Not trying to put prog down, it's still the best genre ( ) but lets hear it for those albums you love that aren't in our loved genre.
Top one's for me would be:

I could have too, and then I could have also started into classical albums and such. At least two of my choices are non-jazz.  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Salty_Jon" rel="nofollow">

I love much more non-prog albums than prog albums and in very diverse genres (folk, pop, rock [alt, goth, hard, southern, psychedelic, stoner], metal [heavy, glam, thrash, death, doom, blackened death, black, dark, goth, power], reggae, ska, dub, tango, funk, cha cha cha, bossa nova, calypso, space age pop, jazz [swing, be bop, hard bop, gypsy], world/ethnic, soul, blues, classical [from early to contemporary], country, bluegrass, electronic, ambient, punk, hardcore, grindcore, trip-hop, chanson, even some hip-hop) ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

I consider all my non-prog albums to be prog so the question is irrelevant.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Well, I thought about doing a totally serious answer to the question. Even some of the classical I like sounds proggy to me. It's a hopeless situation, but one I don't mind.  And of course, picking favorites when it comes to music is pretty much impossible at this stage. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
