Guess I missed this one when you started it 2 1/2 years ago, Lorenzo. But I did notice you used the word "best" in your Original Post, which, in my opinion connotes a different set of criterion than "favorite". And, since you used your own (PA-based) metric system to generate the (ever-evolving) list, I can understand how you reached your list of "best" prog (according to PA standards) studio albums of all-time. With this in mind, this is what I've come up with ... today:

1. Magma Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh

2. Yes Relayer

3. Bent Knee Shiny Eyed Babies

4. Yes Close to the Edge

5. King Crimson In The Court of The Crimson King

6. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon

7. Il Balletto di Bronzo Ys

8. Area Crac!

9. Flairck Gevecht met de Engel

10. All Traps on Earth A Drop of Light

11. Homunculus Res Limiti all’eguaglianza della parte con il tutto

12. Eskaton 4 Visions

13. Seven Impale City of the Sun

14. Koenji Hyakkei Angherr Shisspa

15. Harmonium Si on avait besoin d’une cinqième saison

16. Supertramp Crime of The Century

17. Genesis The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

18. UK UK

19. PFM Per un amico

20. Nil Nil Novo Sub sole

21. Todd Rundgren’s Utopia Adventures in Utopia

22. Maudlin of The Well Part the Second

23. Return to Forever Romantic Warrior

24. Riverside Second Life Syndrome

25. Mahavishnu Orchestra Birds of Fire

Thanks, Drew!

In your list there are some albums I've never heard.

Now they are in the list of my next listenings.
