Unless the case is that you just dont think Rush is that major.
I love some early Rush, ok rock albums, but even though i have most, and know all the albums, I would not fall down dead, if I was not able to listen to it ever again.
 
But i would, if i could never listen to early ENO again Approve "baby's on fireeee"
 
This is and will always just be a matter of taste.

Just looked at the top rated albums on PA to look for more big-time prog albums I've never heard:

(#20) Si On Avait Besoin D'Une Cinquième Saison - Harmonium.  Never heard this band at all, in fact.

(#41) Depois Do Fim - Bacamarte - Never even heard of this before. 

(#43) Second Life Syndrome - Riverside - heard of the band but I don't think I've listened to them

(#44) Felona E Sorona - Le Orme - That's a big omission on my part. Never listened to Le Orme at all before.

I have only heard one band from the neo-prog sub-genre (Marillion)
There is propably alot more, but nothing I can think of as of noew.

I have missed pretty much the entire RPI category so far aside from a couple of PFMs.
 
VDGG - Godbluff and Still Life.
 
Anglagard - Hybris or Epilog
 
Peter Hammill - The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage (and many of his other solo works)
 
Harmonium - Si On Avait...
 
Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn
 
Bacamarte - Depois De Fim
 
Focus - Hamburger Concerto (and most of their other albums)
 
Bubu - Anabelas
 
Frank Zappa - much of his discography.
 
Hatfield and the North - S/t and Rotters' Club.
 
Hawkwind - most of Hawkwind, aside from Blood on The Earth, Hall of the Mountain Grill and In Search of Space.
 
I am sure there are quite a few others but these are what i can think of as far as "major" misses.  I referenced the PA top 100 to compile the list.
 
EDIT:  Also thought of others:
 
Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acoltyte
 
Can - Tago Mago
 
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (recently purchased though so will be able to check off of the list.)
 
Wishbone Ash - Argus
 
On the flipside, I can say that I recently listened to Mirage from Camel for the very first time.  There was also a second classic album that I recently listened to for the very first time which I was going to include in this edit, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was now that I am typing it. LOLEmbarrassed  Getting old does wonders for one's......oh what do you call that thing again?  EDIT EDIT: Now I remember, it was In the Land of Grey and Pink by Caravan.

Crap, I've been listening to too much music.  I have actually heard of some of those mentioned. Shocked

When I first read this thread I though what a strange little concept and an odd thing to brag about, then remembered that I've never seen Jaws or The Sound Of Music and for good reason too: I don't want to. So, sure there are albums I haven't heard because I don't want to, and that probably would encompass Kansas and Steely Dan and Miles Davis... But mostly when there is an album or band that intrigues me I will track it down and give it a fair listen. Of the recent years I haven't heard any Haken, but I like To-Mera so do I need to? Probably not enough to make me want to.
What?

Dean brings up an interesting point - do our responses to this thread constitute "bragging", or are they just  token attempts at self-effacing charm?  Me, I'm still holding my cards close to my chest.

It isn't bragging (at least from me).  Someone posted a review of Love Beach and it occurred to me that I never heard it.  So I began listing "major" (read: well known) that I had not listened to even once.  I decided to post what I came up with off the top of my head here and invite others to do the same. 

Also, beer.

For some of the albums mentioned it might mean you dodged a bullet. LOL

I suppose it could be interpreted as bragging as it implies that I have heard everything else but x, y, and z.  Personally, I thought of it more as a Embarrassed moment, as in how can I be a regular on a prog site and not have heard x, y, and z.  And the expected response was "Damn Scott, you haven't heard that?????  You really must because it will blow your socks into tomorrow."

Looking back on my list, it occurs to me that it shows up pretty much all the bands I've long since given up on as not being for me.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
