Not really in order (except perhaps for the first 2), and not necessarily 10... I'll just list the ones I think more special, even if I'll surely be missing some albums I really love too:
- Wish you were Here by Pink Floyd.
- Animals by Pink Floyd.
- Fragile by Yes.
- Close to the Edge by Yes.
- The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, by Rick Wakeman.
- Ommadawn by Mike Oldfield.
- And I guess Hybrys by Anglagard should make the cut too. Perhaps The Whilrwind by Transatlantic too... and after that, well, there's many I do love but wouldn't know how to rank them...

I fleshed it out a little more:

11. Genesis - Selling England By the Pound
12. Jade Warrior - Floating World
13. Steve Hackett - To Watch the Storms
14. Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
15. King Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic
16. Jethro Tull - Aqualung
17. Frank Zappa & MOI - One Size Fits All
18. Henry Kaiser - Lemon Fish Tweezer
19. Focus - Focus III
20. Univers Zero - Heresie

Still not too many slots for a whole lot additional good stuff. I would probably do this differently on another occasion.
