Quick analysis of UK album charts shows us that the rank should be:

1. DSOTM
2. Misplaced Childhood
3. BSS
4. Selling England
5. Moving Pictures
6. CTTE
7. TAAB
8. ITCOTCK
9. Images and Words
10. Pawn Hearts

Slightly surprised that Marillion are ahead of Yes and ELP, and I didn't realise that Selling England had done so well.

Pawn Hearts in last place? Oh, and what happened to ITCOTCK?

The UK charts are absorbing the buys from that era, but they aren't taking any prog communities into account. Marillion should be 9th, followed then by Images and Words. 

ITCOTCK, I think, should be at least in the top 5. Just because so many consider it prog rock's first real album.

I agree, they measure popularity (to a degree) but that often translates into 'classic' (although not always).  Ironically, 'In The Wake of Poseidon' was initially at least, a bigger seller than ITCOTCK!  VDGG, in general, hardly register...

hah...  I'm good man... but not that good. The DT fans were fleas..  you can and the AR team did exterminate them.


Rush fans? f**king cockroaches they are... they are liking hiding under the sink right now.. but oh yes.. they'll be back.  Never doubt that...

Love most of these albums, had to venture to the Court for this one, however, my vote is nearly interchangeable with Pawn Hearts or DSOTM

So close for be between CTTE & Moving Pictures. I gave the edge to Moving Pictures but not by much.

Probably other. Wish You Were Here. All  fine except for the dated sounding Pawn Hearts.

Anyway I'd have a few things like Present's Triskaidekaphobie or UZ's Ceux du De Hors and different era King Crimson albums that fit into other.

1.- Close To The Edge 5*
2.- In The Court Of The Crimson King 5*
3.- Pawn Hearts 4,5 *
( I actually prefer Godbluff by a hair) 
4.- Selling England By The Pound 4*
( Has some of the best Genesis tracks but is uneven. Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme are 5*)
5.- Thick As A Brick 4*
6.- The Dark Side Of The Moon 4* 
(It used to be my favourite album in my childhood but now pales in comparison to WYWH or Animals)
7.- Brain Salad Surgery 4*
8.- Moving Pictures 3* 
(Hemispheres is much better)
Haven't heard the other ones in their entirety.

Oh wow, how did I miss this one? Anyway looks like Close to the Edge has it and that's how it should be. I wanted to vote for Selling England(just to show my support and because that album's special to me), but instead I ended up voting for Brain Salad Surgery because it only had 5 freaking votes!! One of the absolute greatest prog albums of all time and only 5 votes! So now it has 6 and I'm a little happier. Tongue
