Thank you! Andrew Hill and Mal Waldron are my two favorite jazz pianists and they're about as different as one can get them. Point of Departure is a masterpiece and belongs among the greatest jazz albums ever made - still my personal favorite is Compulsion!!!!! 

You managed to see Andrew two times more than I did. I'm certain it must have been unforgettable as I've never heard anything by him that wasn't intriguing or genuine. 

Compulsion is great. Haven't heard any Mal Waldron though, any recommendations?
Oh have I... 

He has some great 60's albums as well but his distinct style or groove shines the most from about 1969 throughout the 70's where he mostly lived and recorded in Europe/Germany (and Japan):

The Call - a one off of sorts. But fantastic. On el-piano accompanied by Jimmy Jackson (Embryo), Fred Braceful (Et Cetera Ex-Magma) and Eberhard Weber. Embryo has recorded their own version on Stieg Aus.

Atleast five of these are among my most treasured jazz-albums - or albums:

Number Nineteen
Up Popped the Devil
First Encounter
The Whirling Dervish
Tokyo Bound
Set Me Free
Black Glory
Free at Last

I'll give it a go.

The Beatles
U2
Led Zeppelin
The Who
REM
The Doors (although much of their early stuff could be considered proto)
Pearl Jam
Soundgarden
Alice in Chains
Styx (kind of borderline prog imo)

Others also but that's all I can think of for now.

Honorable mentions to Alice Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders, who I mainly left out because they'd already been mentioned.

Both are great IMO, and everything he put out on Blue Note pretty much essential.

Both times were in London with a big band formation, a year or two apart. For obvious financial reasons he was playing with what amounted to a high-class pick up band that consisted of a lot of the cream of British jazz talent. The first time the band seemed slightly under-rehearsed on what was some very complex material, and consequently a bit ragged, but it was still fascinating. The second time the band were on the nail and it was magical!

I know Morricone is not prog but it's certainly no denying that several prog bands use Morricone's style/elements of weirdness, beauty and unpredictability in some of their songs.
Indeed. One could claim the same about about the (other) jazz artists & composers I mention too. Although some more directly influential than others.

Like Saper I too will change my mind tomorrow. I've never been one to rate albums I own. In fact writing reviews for PA has been the only time where I've ever had to out a finite verdict on music.

Anyways:

Milton Nascimento
Pharoah Sanders
Fleet Foxes
Magazine
Sun Ra
Stevie Wonder
F*ck Buttons
Yusef Lateef
David Bowie
The Future Sound Of London
