I will try to name other albums than Friede. like her in no specific order:

studio albums:

"Rubycon" by Tangerine Dream
"Godbluff" by Van der Graaf Generator
"Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh" by Magma
"Photo Musik" by Christian Boulé
"Clearlight Symphony" by Clearlight
"You" by Gong
"Phallus Dei" by Amon Düül 2
"Känguru" by Guru Guru
"Mirage" by Klaus Schulze
"Nursery Cryme" by Genesis *

* this means our self-created special edition of "Nursery Cryme", which includes the tracks "Happy the Man" and "Twilight Alehouse" which were recorded during the sessions for the album but for some reason did not make it there. and yes, I love those short songs too and don't consider them to be pop songs at all. "short and simple" does in my opinion by no means equal "pop". and yes, I know that most people think "Twilight Alehouse" was recorded during the "Foxtrot" sessions, but this is in my opinion impossible because the sound of the song is not the sound of "Foxtrot" but the sound of "Nursery Cryme".

live albums:

"Live Chronicles" by Hawkwind
"The Margin +" by Peter Hammill
"Real Time" by Van der Graaf Generator
"Gong est mort - Vive Gong" by Gong
"Live in Amsterdam 1980" by Flairck
"Made in Japan" by Deep Purple
"Live Dates" by Wishbone Ash
"Encore" by Tangerine Dream
"Roxy and Elsewhere" by Frank Zappa
"Lotos" by Santana

these lists may, like Friede's, be different on another day

I'll limit myself to one album per band. Here goes nothing:

Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans
Jethro Tull - A Passion Play
Genesis - The Lamb
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
Yezda Urfa - Sacred Baboon (but Boris is fantastic too)
National Health - NH or Of Queues and Cures...both are great
Hatfield and the North - Rotters' Club
Khan - Space Shanty
Osanna - Palepoli
Mirthrandir - For you the Old Women

Crap, I left out a lot of my favorites (some Caravan, VDGG, Camel, PFM, Bubu, Gentle Giant, Il Balletto di Bronzo, Dream Theater, Bacamarte...etc) -_-
Those of you who put four or five albums by the same band should have your prog credentials revoked...
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
