3. Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
4. Rush - Xanadu
5. King Crimson - Starless
6. Genesis - Supper's Ready
7. Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond
8. Supertramp - Fool's Overture
9. Camel - Another Night
10. Kansas - Miracles Out of Nowhere

Honourable Mention:
Return to Forever - Medieval Overture
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)
