In no particular order (because they are all great in their own way):

Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Yes - The Yes Album
Genesis - Trick of the Tail
Traffic - Low Spark of High Heeled Boys
The Moody Blues - Days of Future Past
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery
Jethro Tull - Songs From the Wood
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Throw in these, depending on the day:
Yes - Close to the Edge
King Crimson - Lark's Tongue in Aspic
Gentle Giant - In a Glass House
Queen - Queen II
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
