Good taste!

Rush - 2112
Disappointed to get this far with no mention of Phaedra by Tangerine Dream.
Also another vote for ...In The Court... by King Crimson. Epitaph is a STUNNING song.
PF go without saying, I love the Pompeii live concert as much as anything. The performance of Echoes at that concert is mesmeric.
For slightly more modern, I would pick The Mars Volta - Deloused In The Comatorium.

Fruupp - a lesser known band that I thought only I remembered. Prince of heavens Eyes was a jolly old album.

The whole back catalogues of Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd,VDGG, Tull, Rush
Too many others to mention but Marillion's Marbles and Haze's C'est La Vie work for me

Rush are my favourite band of all-time and '2112' stands the test of time as a brilliant concept album.
Also, I can't believe there's not more love on this thread for HAWKWIND! 'Space Ritual', 'Quark, Strangeness and Charm' and 'Sonic Attack' are classics.

Can't believe how many people only bought the single CD of Marbles and missed this all time classic!

Ah, plenty to savour here. As so many have ticked off lots of my personal faves - Floyd, Tull, early Genesis, Crimson, Yes and Wishbone Ash (classic rock to my ears, rather than prog, but I'm not quibbling really), here are a couple I haven't seen mentioned yet ...
Patto, featuring the coruscating guitar of Ollie Halsall and the bluesy voice of Mike Patto:
And the splendid Curved Air, who were still on top form at the Ropetackle in Shoreham a year or two back:

Some great stuff on this thread.
Not sure it's really prog but Asia were formed as a supergroup combining the talents of the very best Prog bands and I still think that the first Asia album stands up exceedingly well today. They were still fabulous live right up to the recent death of JW.

Agree on Asia - one of my favourites whom I saw at the Summit in Houston 1982.
Can't think of a duff album at like both versions with John Payne too.

Then don't. I do.
That said, as I said, he made full use of his ability, and in many cases his bass playing would be much more fitting than some technically much superior bass players. Sometimes less is best - and he was a good example of that.
