Alan Parsons Project. They delivered a secret laptop to me that has three million pictures of hard-boiled eggs.

Not sure. The ones I know I mostly like, but don't love. The Fall of the House of Usher, which has the most votes here, is perhaps my favourite too, but kind of. I really love the band part of the song, but the symphonic intro does just about nothing for me, so it's about half of the song that I really love.

Curiously, I have all the listed albums except for Rush and Holdsworth.
Difficult to choose also becuase they are very different:

Horizon is a suite, Smallcreep's day is half a concept album, Pirates is a long cinematic track and 1984 is an unusual electronic instrumental from a guitarist. Even if about 15 minutes long, I've never thought of Safe as to an epic (but it's a great long song). 

Which one I listen to more often? it's between Horizon and Smallcreep
Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half.

I don't know many of the songs here, which is nice cause it gives me some good classic prog I've missed out on. Of the ones I do know, Pirates is my favorite, and was one of my first prog loves. I listened to that song quite a bit, even more than Karn Evil 9 and Tarkus (Probably cause it was a good bit shorter than those, while still being long).

I'd also venture to say that Peter Hammil's Flight from 1980 could be on the list too. I love that one.
