Really good list.

My favourites are Tales and Relayer, but Going for the One is great as well, especially Awaken !

I once had a wish list that was very long and I decided to prioritise it and wipe off a lot of stuff. If your wish list gets too big then it controls you rather than the other way round. Get your wish list down to 10 items at the most otherwise it's depressing.

So if you're gonna get the first 3 albums, then don't make LitP an immediate purchase, as you will have heard most of it. It's got some other good tracks, though, and 2 cool live songs, so if you're a huge fan and a completionist (like me) then go for it.

I have Aqualung and Thick as a Brick.  I included the albums mentioned because they were the highest recommend in the reviews.  I enjoy TAAB and Aqualung and wanted to continue into more Jethro Tull albums

Great selection but personally stick with just Close to the Edge from Yes to begin with. If you like it then try Relayer. Try "In The Court of the Crimson King" before Red even though you may end up preferring the latter - but ITCOTCK is really a "must have". I would also have Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" as another "must have" although again, you may end up preferring Animals (as I do). Enjoy!!

Jethro Tull-Heavy Horses

Jethro Tull-Minstrel in the Gallery

Jethro Tull-WarChild -Not the greatest Tull CD, there are MANY better before this, such as 'Thick as a brick', 'songs from the wood' and 'Broadsword and the beast'

 

King Crimson-In the Court of the Crimson King - X -NoWAY is this as necessary as many here would have you believe!

Pendragon-The Masquerade Overture - OK, prefer 'The world'

Pendragon-Not of this world -as above, but get 'Masquerade..' before this.

Arena-Contagion Very good Neo Prog album. Tight playing, excellent production and guess what!...A flourish of creative songwriting and no overly long songs.

Arena-The Visitor A bit of a disappointment to me, but it is still worth owning is you're a Arena fan.

Gentle Giant-Octopus Possibly GG's best album. Really full of ideas, but the sound is hardly different from all other GG albums, be that good or bad.

Gentle Giant-The Power and The Glory I don't really play this one that much. It was a bit of a disappoi9ntment though. "Playing the Game" is an excellent funky track, however.

Jethro Tull-Heavy Horses I overlooked this album because of the ugly cover. BIG mistake! It is just as good as...Oh say Aqualung or maybe Minstel.
Jethro Tull-Minstrel in the Gallery Just like any other early period Tull album, minus the concepts. This is basically a straight forward approach to songwriting more in line with Aqualung than TAAB. "Minstrel in the Gallery" "Cold Wind to Valhalla" and "Baker St. Muse" are excellent. If you like Jethro Tull, you should own this.

King Crimson-In the Court of the Crimson King This album is a must for any Krimson fan. The title track is my favorite, but "Epitaph" and "20th Century Schizoid Man" are great as well.

King Crimson-Red A bit depressing, Red has a very jazzy vibe, even more so than ITCOTCK in my opinion. I love it, but only for a certain mood.

The Mars Volta-De-loused in the Comatorium A mixed offering. Very aggressive at times, and very subtle at times, but the use of electronics is very beautiful The vocals can be annoying, in my opinion.Pendragon-The Masquerade Overture Many may disagree with me, but I think Pendragon is amazing. The compositions on this album and NOTW are spectacular, with great guitar leads and solos and excellent imagery. My only problem with Pendragon is they don't really have any happy or uplifting songs on these albums. Take that as you will, but i say buy TMO and NOTW.
Pendragon-Not of this world Above.

Pink Floyd-Animals Proggiest Floyd album. "Sheep" is my favorite, but you may get 4 different answers from 4 different people.

Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon Why don't you own this already!!! It is required!!!!

Yes-Close to the Edge Perfect. Just buy it. If you have any liking of Yes at all, get it.

Yes-Relayer Underrated beyond belief. "Gats of Delerium" is awe-inspiring, as are the other songs. The format is almost exactly the same as CTTE, but Moraz's keyboard work is just as good if not better that Wakemen's.

Yes-Tales from Topographic Oceans Great lyrics (I'm required to say that), but I think It's uninspiring, overlong, and without sufficient musical ideas. If you can find it chap though, go for it.

Yes-Drama Surprisingly good. Not as strong as GFTO, though, for obvious reasons (lack of Howe and Anderson) "Machine Messiah" "Does It Really Happen" and "Tempus Fugit" are flawless and warrent the purchase of the album alone

Yes- Going for The One Incredibly underrated, one of their best. "Awaken" is a top 5 yes song no doubt
My soundcloud. Please give feedback if you want!

Magma-Kobaïa

Magma-Üdü Wüdü

Magma-Retrospektiw Vol. 3

Magma-Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh

Magma-1001° Centigrades

Magma-Köhntarkösz

 

Really amazes me that people can live without these records (Retrospektive vol. 1 + 2 incl. (3 is not that essential) And of course the double live LP from 1975), surely I wonder how I survived all these years not knowing the absolutely stunning and brilliant music these records contain.

 

But also prog-rock essentials as Close to the Edge, Dark side of the Moon, The Lamb..., Tales..., Relayer, In the Court of..., Pawn Hearts, Tarkus etc. should have a high priority.

Gentle Giant-Free Hand

Gentle Giant- Gentle Giant

Gentle Giant-Octopus

Gentle Giant-The Power and The Glory

Gentle Giant-Three Friends


Jethro Tull-Heavy Horses

Jethro Tull-Minstrel in the Gallery

Jethro Tull-WarChild

^ All of the above are regarded as masterpieces, but I'd suggest Thick As A Brick, Aqualung or even Songs From The Wood for starters, if you're new to the band, that is...)

King Crimson-In the Court of the Crimson King

King Crimson-Red

^ You can't go wrong with those two. Then, buy the whole Crimson catalogue.

The Mars Volta-De-loused in the Comatorium

Mike Oldfield-Tubular Bells


Opeth-Blackwater Park

Opeth-Damnation


Pink Floyd-Animals

Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon (the one album that introduced many of us, including myself, to this exceptional genre, I'd say this is the greatest way to introduce someone to prog, apart from Close To The Edge, of course)


Van der Graaf Generator-Godbluff

Van der Graaf Generator-Pawn Hearts

Van der Graaf Generator-H to He, Who Am the Only One


Yes-Close to the Edge (buy this album and Dark Side Of The Moon first)

Yes-Relayer

Yes-Tales from Topographic Oceans

Yes-Going for The One

 

which of these should I jump onto first?  Which of these is your favorite? which should I beware of before buying?



If you're new to prog... you should buy first, the ones in bold. My most beloved albums out of the ones you listed, are underlined. And one last thing, beware of anything neo prog (which I already deleted out of your list anyway...)  

Oh, and BTW, I've also taken out of your list other great albums that you should get in the future. First, concentrate on the ones that haven't been deleted. 

Cheers!
