	Maybe Tommy by the Who. As close to Prog as it is.

	These are the breakthrough albums from most of the major prog bands. You can add your own bands if you want. ELP - debut King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King Pink Floyd - A bit tricky since like Genesis they were popular in the UK before the US but I'll say Dark Side of the Moon Genesis - Foxtrot Yes - The Yes Album Porcupine Tree - In Absentia (even though it didn't chart) Dream Theater - Images and Words Rush -2112 (from a more commercial standpoint though maybe Permanent Waves) Jethro Tull - Stand Up Kansas - Leftoverture Marillion - Misplaced Childhood (but their first album Script for a Jester's Tear did pretty good in the UK reaching number 7) The Moody Blues - Days Of Future Passed Gentle Giant - Free Hand Echolyn - As The World (their first on a major label -Sony- and ironically the one that ended their career- for a while anyway). I know most wouldn't consider Echolyn to be a major prog band but I included them because as the world was the one that got them noticed. So if you have other similar examples please include them. Thanks to google for helping me out with some of these.
