Yes, I would've been quite surprised if Godbluff was considered more innovative than Pawn Hearts. I see Godbluff as a substantial regression from their previous album.

I am unhappy that Pawn Hearts is missing, which however brings several changes compared to The Least.
 
To me, Pawn Hearts is the culmination of the three albums starting from The Least. The Least is the album where they found their sound, but in a rather crude form. H to He is the album where they perfected their sound, but it lacked the unity that they finally achieved with Pawn Hearts.

Hi,

Hard to tell, since tastes are so different in America as they are in Europe. For example, "progressive" folks from Europe do not consider CHICAGO an important band, and in terms of "progressive, CHICAGO 2 and even 1 deserve a mention, but they are not English and therefore ignored.

A couple of these are already mentioned, so I removed Bitches Brew.

KC - In the Court
Jethro Tull - TAAB (one of the first concept albums)
Gentle Giant - Acquiring the Taste
Pink Floyd - Dark Side...
ELP - Tarkus
Return to Forever
Soft Machine - Volume Three
Yes - Close to the Edge
Gong - You
Chicago - 2
The Doors 
Iron Butterfly - In a Gadda Da Vida
Can - Tago Mago
Amon Duul 2 - Yeti
Focus - Moving Waves or III
Banco - Darwin
Faust - So Far
Agitation Free - 1st probably
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Aphrodite's Child - 666

I'd like to think Peter Gabriel 4 (Security) got a nod.
Oh, and Queen - Night at the Opera.

One!

Peter Gabriel is one of those artists that Merlin quites in the introduction as deserving of particular attention because his musical career has had many turning points, has been characterized by an innovative research, and in fact he is present with 3 records, but not with the fourth.

There are some artists, not strictly prog, but present on Progarchives, who have many records on Merlin's list...

Which ones are they?

An advice: remember: he's a jazz guitarist.
