My personal favorites:
Yes - Close to the Edge
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Gentle Giant - Octopus
Rush - Hemispheres
Can - Tago Mago
The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
IQ - Dark Matter
Opeth - Still Life
Porcupine Tree - In Absentia
Ayreon - The Human Equation
Tool - Aenima
Mastodon - Blood Mountain
Seems I'm the only one here that vastly prefers Aenima to Lateralus.
EDIT: forgot to add Foxtrot or Selling England, but I can't decide which I prefer, so I'm just leaving the list as is.

Ahh.. i had such high hopes after reading your first 2, and i've just started liking pawn hearts seriously, and foxtrot has always been a favourite, sort of, and then... well, all the rest are good, but i'd still rearrange a lot, i guess. Still, good top! :) Have you heard "mice and rats in the loft" by the way?

I actually made a list like that a few weeks ago, i'll see if i can find it..
Okay, my favourites:
1. Comus - First utterance
2.Harmonium - Si on avait besoin d'une cinquième saison
3.The Mars Volta - Frances the mute
4.Yes - The Yes album
5.Caravan - If i could do it all over again, i'd do it all over you
6.Caravan - In the land of Grey and pink
7.Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon
8.Yes - Going for the one
9.Pink Floyd - Wish you were here
10.Genesis - Selling England by the pound
11.Yes - Relayer
12.Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
ACtually, only the first 6 are really in order, the rest i just took from my "good, but didn't make the top 10" on my other list, as i had to remove all non-prog (Such as American beauty, Rubber soul, The queen is dead..).
Also, this means that any of the last six easily could have been replaces with another, but this is... well, A list, at least. :)

These are not what I consider to be the greatest or most important (whatever criteria one
uses to try to determine greatness -- influence, popularity...), these are just twelve of my favourites off the top of my head... I decided to
limit my choices to one album per band, and there are many other bands I'd like to
list (as well as alternate albums per band). In no particular order...
Gentle Giant - Acquiring the Taste
Focus - Hamburger Concerto
Gryphon - Midnight Mushrumps
PFM - Per un Amico
Bacamarte - Depois do Fim
Le Orme - Contrappunti
Carpe Diem - Ceuille le Jour
The Enid - In the Region of the Summer
Stars
Renaissance - Sheherazade and Other
Stories
Camel - The Snow Goose
Kotebel - Omphalos (for something new)
Maneige - Les Porches

From a new memeber:
Yes-Close To The Edge
Genesis-Selling England By The Pound
Pink Floyd-Dark Side Of The Moon
Yes-Relayer
King Crimson-In The Court of The Crimson King
Pink Floyd-Wish You Were Here
Renaissance-Scheherazade and Other Stories
Supertramp-The Crime of The Century
ELP-Brain Salad Surgery
Jethro Tull-Aqualung
Jethro Tull-Thick As A Brick
Yes-The Yes Album
It may seem a bit heavy on Yes but I guess that is why they are the best. Without them, this website would not exist.
