OK, so this takes some effort (and time), but I thoroughly enjoyed doing it, and am currently listening to these albums in chronological order, which is just brilliant!  And I'm interested to see other people's lists.

BTW, it's not what you were listening to at the time (although some will be), it's your favourite album from these years, as of now...

So here's mine:

1970  Trespass  Genesis
1971  Nursery Cryme  Genesis
1972  Thick As A Brick  Jethro Tull
1973  Selling England By The Pound  Genesis
1974  Hergest Ridge  Mike Oldfield
1975  Wish You Were Here  Pink Floyd
1976  Trick Of The Tail  Genesis
1977  A Farewell To Kings  Rush
1978  War Of The Worlds  Jeff Wayne
1979  The Wall  Pink Floyd

1980  Permanent Waves  Rush
1981  Moving Pictures. Rush
1982  Eye In The Sky  Alan Parsons Project
1983  Tales From The Lush Attic  IQ
1984  Powerslave  Iron Maiden
1985  Misplaced Childhood  Marillion
1986  Invisible Touch  Genesis
1987  Nomzamo  IQ
1988  Once Around The World  It Bites
1989  Gretchen Goes To Nebraska  King's X

1990  Faith Hope Love  King's X
1991  Ten  Pearl Jam
1992  Images And Words  Dream Theater
1993  Ever  IQ
1994  Brave  Marillion
1995  Afraid Of Sunlight  Marillion
1996  Down On The Upside  Soundgarden
1997  Subterranea  IQ
1998  Into The Electric Castle  Ayreon
1999  Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory  Dream Theater

2000  The Seventh House  IQ
2001  Not Of This World  Pendragon
2002  Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence  Dream Theater
2003  The Phantom Agony  Epica
2004  The Human Equation  Ayreon
2005  Octavarium  Dream Theater
2006  Milliontown  Frost*
2007  Dark Passion Play  Nightwish
2008  Blomljud  Moon Safari
2009  Frequency  IQ

2010  In The Wake Of Evolution  Kaipa
2011  The King Of Number 33  Deexpus
2012  Weather Systems  Anathema
2013  The Theory Of Everything  Ayreon
2014  The Road Of Bones  IQ
2015  Endless Forms Most Beautiful  Nightwish
2016  Falling Satellites  Frost*
2017  This Is The Sound  Cellar Darling
2018  Prequelle  Ghost
2019  The Spell  Cellar Darling / Empath  Devin Townsend (can't decide at the moment, and it's early this year yet...)

There's a hell of a lot of great albums missing out here of course!  And some years were very tough (1987/1989/2008 particularly)

Come on, have a go, you know you want toSmile

2019 - Foreign Land, The Far Meadow

A bummer that I couldn't start from 1966...

Don't think I could do this. The field between about 68 and 73 would be impossibly crowded, and definitely not just by prog artists.

Too old to play this game...from 1951-62...I didn't pay attention to music that much, and  I wasn't even really aware of 'pop' or 'rock' until  1963 when The Beatles first released a US single...and of course early pop and r&b by other artists .....so 'favorite' album is a misnomer since most of us didn't listen to music when we were that young to know a 'favorite'. And far too many non prog reg rock  things to go through all those other years....

That's it. I give up.

Didn't know this was about prog! Besides, Kind of Blue (1958) is in the Archives!

Also, according to OP, it's about what albums you would pick now to represent each of the years of your life.

And far too many non prog reg rock  things to go through all those other years....

Again: It's about what albums you appreciate now that you'd pick for each year of your life. 

Believe me, I was not listening to Miles, Dex, Monk, or 'Trane in my early childhood! (Nor were my parents.)

Well, I'm not as old as some on here. I was born in 1970 which seems to be right around the time when prog was starting to put itself on the musical map and gain more attention in more than just a cult way(which seems to be where it sort of is these days also. Lol). 

My issue is I haven't really heard enough prog to comfortably do one for every year. If I just was going to do random albums then I could possibly do it but my expertise on albums is lacking somewhat so I would rather just be a spectator here.

Ok I was going for the listening aspect rather than age thing but yes you are a spring chicken compared to me (I was born 62) and many others round here. Next year is a biggie thenWink
