Scheherazade and Voyage of the Acolyte are my two favorites. Not familiar with a lot of albums from 1975 I guess.

This album has received absolutely no mention here:

I think it indeed deserves some honorable mentions.

Agree with your entire list (except the albums I don't know), but this entry I so totally disagree with, should be much higher on the list, great album.

and of coure an honourable mention to Eloy's The Power and the PAssion.

But my all time favourite album hasn't been mentioned at all. How about Queen's A Night At The Opera, a masterpiece from start to finish.
