From the list, Foxtrot of course, because it's the only one from my top 10 of all time, which is:

1 & 2 Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here / Marillion: Misplaced Childhood (impossible to decide)
3 & 4 Pink Floyd: Dark Side of the Moon / Genesis: Selling England by the Pound (couldn't decide either)
5 Marillion: Fugazi
6 Marillion: Marbles
7 Jethro Tull: Songs from the Wood
8 Pink Floyd: Meddle
9 Jethro Tull: Heavy Horses
10 Genesis: Foxtrot

If live albums could be counted, then La Gazza Ladra by Marillion, Seconds Out & Live - The Way We Walk: Volume Two - The Longs by Genesis and Pulse by Pink Floyd would surely be on my top 10.

That list is all sorts of incomplete, dude.  No Selling England By the Pound.  No Gentle Giant and further more...

NO PINK FLOYD!!!

... come on, man...

And four of the albums missing are:

Rush - Moving Pictures (or AFTK)
Gentle Giant - Octopus
Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
Pink Floyd - DSOTM



I agree with Ghost Rider as well, but about the 'missing' albums

Moving Pictures - Is is Prog, or AOR? hmmm, think Rush was moving away from prog at that point
Octopus, Thick as a Brick -
DSOTM - one of those who just doen't see it as a prog album.  A nice concept album, with some interesting sound-effects.
