Tarot Woman and Stargazer are top tunes.
My first ever 7" single purchase was Since You've Been Gone when I was 11. I scratched it really badly that night and had to buy it again the following week. Extra royalties for Ritchie.

Lol Kosh I was wondering how soon you'd find this thread
Wishbone Ash Argus was my favourite album for a few years. I have to confess to having no knowledge of more than 50% of what you posted though...
The funny thing is, at the tender age of 36, I own all of the above as vinyl first pressings... now that IS proper PROG. I'm so prog even my let cat likes May Blitz, for Fruup's sake!
At last count my collection has around 600 1968-76 prog/heavy rock LPs... yes; I am that man.
Heh heh...

'Wish You Were Here' Pink Floyd. It's my favourite album 
Love 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond Pt 9' especially.

Yes, the genre so despised by punks so probably a fair proportion of NSC
Anyway I will plump for Peter Gabriel's Genesis and particularly the fantastic Sellimg England by the Pound which still sounds as good today as it did in 1973

Fantastic Album. The opening track "dancing in a moonlit night" is spell binding.

Over the years I've come to appreciate the precision and brilliance of Run with the Wolf and even Starstruck - it's a brilliant album!
Off to see Rainbow in Manchester very soon, and I was at Birmingham last year too. Blacker's may not be at his fluid best anymore, but his remaining time is precious to me.
Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Supertramp, Crime of the Century.
Another nod for Rainbow Rising. Also excellent

I love Genesis with Peter or Phil, true prog fans turn their noses up at Invisible Touch Album, probably because of the title track but "Domino part 1 and 2" is probably one of my favourite songs of all time.

Crickey as a bit of a prog head hard to say what would be my favourite as it changes with my moods day to day sometime hour to hour although I think the album that started this off is probably my favourite Genesis album although they are all pretty good in their way from the first steps with Genesis to Revelation on to Calling All Stations which is a very underrated album in part probably because it does not have Phil Collins on it and by then many assumed was Phil Collins and Genesis not Genesis including Phil Collins.
Rick Wakeman's King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table is a great offering even if it does lose its way half way through!
Anything by Marrillion but the first 4 are just brilliant have a listen to things like sugar mice and of course market square heroes or Garden Party or even Incommunicado.
More recent stuff Dream Theatre, Opeth, as has been mentioned I think, Mastodon and loads more.
