	Okay, for real. I won't say these are the "12 BEST," (a silly concept!) but here are 12 classic prog albums which I consider to be 5-star efforts, and "essential" to any self-respecting prog collection. *In the order in which they occurred to me:* King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King Genesis - Foxtrot Yes - Close to the Edge ELP - Brain Salad Surgery Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick Gentle Giant - In a Glass House Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Nektar - Remember the Future PFM - Photos of Ghosts Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts Can - Future Days Tangerine Dream - Force Majeure Note: I could easily name at least one other equally-worthy entry from each of these seminal prog groups, but I wanted 12 different artists. I like some newer stuff too (IQ is notably absent), but in the interests of sticking to the (arbitrary) 12 album maximum, I limited myself to classic, formative prog rock. If you don't have these in your prog collection, { insert expletive}! Edited by Tony R - November 25 2006 at 08:02

	This is NOT a poll, though, and we have an identically-themed poll in the non-poll prog section. Ha! Stick with the thread re-routing tour, Mods! Edited by Peter Rideout - November 25 2006 at 01:24

	Peter is so easily amused, many agree that he is worthy of narration.
