For me it would be Foxtrot, Close to the Edge, and maybe Animals.

There isn't one. It all depends on the individual. My all purpose one would be Foxtrot though. Fragile isn't a bad option either. Leftoverture isn't bad. Would probably stick with the KC original or Red.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

If the person you're trying to convert likes Alt Rock, then Porcupine Tree's Fear Of A Blank Planet.
If the person likes indie rock, then probably something like Dark Side Of The Moon
If the person like Hard Rock stuff, the Rush's 2112 is quite good.
Those are the only genres I have a real grasp on.

What is the best record as an introduction to prog-rock?
I have a clue how to answer this question: something accessible, non-embarrassing, and quintessential of the genre. It all depends on the user: either "Dark Side of the Moon" or "Red." Gee, if I had to choose, ... let it be "Dark Side of the Moon."
What do you think?
