The Canterbury band Khan only made an album, called "Space Shanty", before calling it a day. I haven't heard the whole album, but what I heard was pretty remarkable.

Mr. Bungle's Disco Volante. The other two are Thumbs Down.
 
Murple's Io Sono Murple is great as well.

What do you mean? One amazing album and the rest no good, or bands who made just one (amazing) album?

Il Balletto di Bronzo has two, and Ahrodites Child several, but only one real prog classic each. Same with these:

Metamorfosi
Alphataurus
Comus
Biglietto per L'Inferno
Celeste
Il Rovescio Della Medaglia

Just one (amazing) album:

Arzachel
Khan
Cervello
Gotic
Maxophone
De De Lind
Murple
Morte Macabre
Universal Totem Orchestra
L'Uovo di Colombo (not amazing, but good)

I know there's plenty more, but these are the ones I have actually heard, and liked. (+ the some of the already mentioned Museo Rosenbach, Dün, Campo de Marte)

Not to impressed by: Spring, Cherry Five, Locanda Della Fate,






Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

I thought they had three albums.  Rain and Tears, from their first album, is fantastic.

Who else? I can't think of anyone more... And you?

Aphrodite's Child made two albums. The second is awful though.

What is prog rock ?

It is music that does progress. Progressive music takes a riff, turns it inside out, plays it upside down and the other way around, and explores its potential.
