ITCOTCK - my first encounter with prog, and still the album that represents the genre best.

Foxtrot or Selling England by the Pound (just hearing Firth of fifth is enough).

I'd like to say Relayer by Yes but it's not an option. So CTTE it is!

Thick As A Brick and A Passion Play are the albums that forged my prog taste and, with Atom Heart Mother, Wish You Were Here and DSOTM, the most familiar music for me, having listened to since my infancy!

Fortunetly, prog rock is extensive enough that its core cannot be reduced to a single album.

It was either CTTE or DSOTM but in terms of progressive music i would have to go with the majority and say Close To The Edge.

Close to the Edge and GodBluff are the most representative album.

I prefer Godbluff for the lyrics.

Interesting thread

Prog On !

Selling England By The Pound, it has everything that embodies prog compacted onto a peice of vinyl.

The first two albums i looked for were Trilogy and Brain Salad Surgery.  Sadly both of them and the band missed the poll.  From the poll i'll take Close to the Edge.  It's just as popular as everyother album on the list and has insturmental virtuosity that can rival ELP.
