I voted Pawn Hearts, which is my favorited prog album of ever, then I
read El Bothy's clarification and for my idea of prog, if I had to say
it with just one album, I'd say In a glass house-Gentle Giant...but
...do you think we all have the same idea of what is prog...?

I've always considered the big three albums of 1972 (Foxtrot, CttE, TaaB) to all be equal on terms as the essential prog album. I'll vote for TaaB just because that's what I'm listening to right now.

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

sorry to be so predictable, but if I had to choose 1 CD, because of my musical upbringing, CTTE is THE quintessential prog album....

For me, It's Foxtrot, with CTTE very close second.

Maybe "Red". I think it presents a wider palette of progressive element's than "Close to The Edge", though I like that one too.

I'm confused about the question, so I'll answer both.
Topic: If you have to say prog...with one album
OK for this one I might say "Bridge Across Forever" by Transatlantic. It somes up a lot of the bombast of Prog for me, in its Genre at any rate.
Poll Question: Which album represents prog at its best...????
Difficult, I'm tempted to sat "Relayer" by Yes.
As neither choices are hear, I'll choose "Selling Englsnd By The Pound".

Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery would be ideal, but since it's not on the list I went for King Crimson's In The Court of the Crimson King since it defined the genre.
