Presto Ballet - Peace among the Ruins, one of the greatest prog rock albums ever IMO, that is side project of guitarist from Metal Church, band that I don't like very much

Although Hybris stands out, epilog is far from a none-worthy successor

Heh, that's just you. A lot of people think Aenima as a masterpiece (that includes me) and Undertow get's respect too (I actually know people who only like Undertow from Tool albums).

Of course Xanadu, Progressive Rock is an album based genre in oposition to any song based band common in mainstream.

if you want to know prog albums having 1 pop  hit , then comes to mind:

rush - closer to the heart

kansas - dust in the wind

genesis - follow you follow me

 

if you want to know any type of  albums having 1 prog   breakthrough , then comes to mind:

al stewart - the year of the cat

yes - cinema

eLP - canario

One hit wonder? Try Yes with 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'. That's the only song I've ever heard on the radio, and it plays constantly.

But we all know they're better than that, so let's try... Styx with Come Sail Away.

Actually Änglagård was the closest call for me, i hope you mean albums not a specific song, and yet there is no similarites to the One Hit Wonder cultur in pop a was refering to, a good sign tough making music for the sake of music instead money
