"Easter" by Marillion.
I know who Marillion was back in the 80's and heard several songs; however, when my buddy sent me Six Of One, Half Dozen Of The Other, I was completely swept up by this song. Just absolutely beautiful.

Mine are fairly predictable, since back in the days when free mp3s were more easily accessible, I would download the most popular songs by bands to check them out.
Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall (I wasn't much of a prog fan back then)
Genesis - Supper's Ready
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
King Crimson - Epitaph
Yes - Roundabout
Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

Limelight- Rush- This song got me into Rush, which got me into prog rock in general. I had been listening to Pink Floyd for a while but this got me into the rest of prog.
CTTE- Yes
Aqualung- Jethro Tull
Karn Evil 9- ELP
Supper's Ready- Genesis- I didn't see how much depth Genesis had as a band until I heard Supper's Ready.

Art Bears: "Out of town, my work takes me out of town..." I practically applauded when I heard it for the first time.
comedically I had ignored King Crimson for ages, so having eventually hearing that DGM sampler, the song that broke me into the bandomorphication of Satan himself was... "Cage", from Sometimes God Hides, culled from Vrooom EP and never appearing on an actual album. lol
...and finally in that rare trinity of perfect bands, "Hortz fur den Stechen West" by you-know-who!
