All four are essential to my collection. I'm surprised they aren't running more neck and neck though. I decided to go with Thick.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

They are all great albums. It's Thick as a Brick for me, as it was my introduction to prog. I listen to all of these regularly though!

4 of THE essential prog albums, no doubt about it.

Wish You Were Here just gets my vote over Selling England. CTTE is not far behind. TAAB would be fourth but that is a classic album too.

Close to the Edge and Thick as a Brick - tied for first place

Wish You Were Here - second place

Selling England by the Pound - third place

Voted Jethro Tull since Yes was doing rather well, thank you very much; however A Passion Play is better than all of them! Tongue

None of them are very highly regarded by me other than Thick as a Brick. So that
