That's why it's up to oneself to decide, so even 80's can be included. Tongue

ok
I'll list my 10 favorite Marillion albums. LOL

Your choice, but the OP says: "by "great classics" I mean albums that are very high rated by really many people".

it will confuse people. For some prog classics ended in 1975, others will say '76, and then others  '77. 
I say '79. So there you go. LOL

This thread is mainly aimed at collectors, and by "great classics" I mean albums 

that are very high rated by really many people

How old they must be, it's up to oneself to decide.

Mine are:

           Camel   -  The Snow Goose  (1975)

            Caravan   -  In The Land of Grey and Pink  (1971)

            Emersom, Lake & Palmer Emerson, Lake & Palmer  (1970)

            Emersom, Lake & Palmer  -  Tarkus  (1971)

            Genesis  -  Nursery Cryme  (1971)

           Genesis  -  Selling England by the Pound  (1973)               

            Gentle Giant  -  Acquiring the Taste  (1971)             

            Jethro Tull  -  Aqualung  (1971)

            Khan  -  Space Shanty  (1972)

            King Crimson  -  Larks’ Tongues in Aspic  (1973)

            King Crimson  -  Red  (1974)   

           Mike Oldfield  -  Ommadawn   (1975)

            Pink Floyd  -  The Dark Side of the Moon  (1973)

            Pink Floyd  -  Wish You Were Here  (1975)

           Renaissance  -  Renaissance  (1969)

           Van der Graaf Generator  - H to He Who Am the Only One (1970)

            Van der Graaf Generator  -  Godbluff   (1975)

            Rick Wakeman  -  The Six Wives of Henry VIII   (1973)

            Yes   -  The Yes Album  (1971)

            Yes  -  Close to the Edge  (1972)


Some additional:

           Emersom, Lake & Palmer  -  Trilogy  (1972)

          Genesis  -  Foxtrot  (1972)

           Marillion  -  Script For A Jester’s Tear  (1983)

          Strawbs  -  Grave New World  (1972)


And I hope, you'll enjoy it! Smile


For anyone who's not familiar with it, I can certainly recommend the book Rocking the Classics. 

English Progressive Rock and the Counterculture . Oxford University Press 1997 by Edward Macan, 

which is generally considered to be the very best book written about Progressive Rock so far.
