I haven't heard Octopus yet, but in all honesty, I'm not really huge fan of any of these albums

Really?
I haven't heard anything by Focus yet, and I've only heard Crime of the Century a couple times, so I'll go ahead and leave those out:
1. CTTE
2. BSS
3. Foxtrot
4. ITCOTCK
5. DSOTM
6. TAAB
7. TB
The last one is not Tuberculosis.

Strangely, none of these albums are my favorite work by the artists.  Haven't heard the Supertramp, so I left that one off.
I repeat myself when under stress.

Yes, sure of course.. But I just found it absurd that a prog fan find In the Court of the Crimson King, Octopus, Foxtrot and Thick as a Brick, which generally amongst prog fans are considered some of the ultimate masterpieces in rock history, rather mediocre ... After all, you rated Close to the Edge and Brain Salad Surgery as masterpieces.. I was just really really surprised
