Your favorite prog rock music? ?


I was just listening to, and burning some CDs for work when I heard "Time and a Word." I started thinking about some of the prog rock I have, but wondered what I should have that I don't have...

I mean music!

I used to be a real maven on the subject-I've aged and gone in different directions. I can, however, give u some ideas:

Yes-Close to the Edge and Topographic Oceans (Latter is a controversial choice as many hate it)
Genesis-Selling England (A killer great work)
ELP-Tarkus (Most would say Brain Salad)
Hawkwind-Space Ritual (Trust me, it's an original. By the way, "do not panic".)
Pink Floyd-Meddle
Tull-Thick as a Brick (It's progressive, I guess, but more in the "art" camp)

This is a decent start.
Let me add to my list the following:

King Crimson-Starless and Bible Black (heavy)
King Crimson-Larks Tongues (really heavy)
Strawbs-Hero and Heroine (folky elements in this band add character to the prog feel)
Eno-Another Green World (really more "ambient" than prog)
Moodies-Question of Balance
Nektar-Remember the Future
