I dont wanna repeat any bands here, though some have amazing prog masterpieces. So in no order...

Yes - Close To The Edge
Genesis - Foxtrot
Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
King Crimson - In The Court of the Crimson King
Gentle Giant - In A Glass House
Kansas - Leftoverture
Rush - Hemispheres
Camel - Mirage
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

In all honesty, I have only touched the surface of progressive music, I still have much to listen to and buy.
