That's still high on my albums-to-check-out-list! He also made an album called Dead Bees On A Cake. Did he name it like that because everyone was raving over the Beehive album, and he got fed up with that, does anybody know?
 
As for my own pick: me and my prog friends, we have a mutual friend who doesn't like prog at all. He listens to country-rock, southern rock and psychedelic bands. He did ask us to lend him out a copy of Genesis' Selling England By The Pound and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. He didn't like those albums anyway, but he thought they were important in the history of prog, and at least he could see what we liked about it, which was some sort of a touching moment.
 
He also accidentally listened to Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, and was actually surprised that he got pretty much carried away with it. LOL
 
Still, I think I would choose an album which more people would like, like the archetypical sixties albums which were actually made in 1970: Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel and Déjà Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. For the sake of diversity I would choose the latter.

...how about a Rick Wakeman solo?

many CDs I would consider must have CDs  I agree with all the posts so far and what they say  but I'll add one  more that probably won't get a mention  "Leftoverture" by Kansas  its given me much pleasure  over the years  I owe it to Kansas to mention it.

I'd reckon that Hackett's To Watch The Storms needs to be there.

This would be a tempting choice.  Yessongs would probably get the edge for me though.
 
The first Woodstock album would also figure in the calculations.
 
It would be between those three.

Its s hard to chose. probably either Fragile, ITCOTCK or Wish You Were Here. . . but there are so many bands that NEED to be heard regardless of tastes. these albums arnt my favorite by any stretch but i think they are three discs that every person who calls themselves a prog-head needs to hear.
