Embryo - Embryo's Reise.
The album which created a genre which today is known as "World Music" about twenty years before it became a fad.

You didn't read the original rules, you're supposed to stick to albums that hadn't already been mentioned.

You only need to replace one - only Tago Mago had been mentioned before you.

Well, hell, let's make it Tanz Der Lemminge then. Just on a whim, which is all I did in the first place anyway
I like how we both agreed that there's no way you could have a canon without an example from the Canterbury scene, Magma, and Krautrock

Yeah, they're all essential. I wanted to include something RIO/Avant too (maybe Henry Cow's Legend, for example), but there just wasn't enough space.

Well my eyesight ain't what it used to be, but I see nary a sign of Arthur Brown here. Either Crazy World or Galactic Zoo Dossier (or realistically both) belong in any comprehensive prog discography.

Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Obvious ones:
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn/A Saucerful of Secrets
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way/Bitches Brew
Arthur Brown - The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (EDIT: I've been beaten!)
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame
All, unquestionably, essential Proto-Prog/Jazz Rock albums, not necessarily meaning they're masterpieces.
By the way, I'm afraid to say that the list is already flawed, some of the albums that have been proposed just seem to be favorites by fans of certain groups: Octavarium. Also, you can't have DSOTM and WYWH by Floyd in a same list, keep with one. Anyway, as far as I understood the process, it'll later be edited, right?

Yeah I know, but that's not the point. The point is selecting essential albums that show the development of Prog Rock, I don't think that having DSotM and WYWH is logical. Personally, I would put DSotM, it's the most commercially succesful a Prog band (having not turned to Pop) ever experienced, and yet it's very innovating.
Mind you, I do think WYWH is essential for Prog Rock fans, but for this specific list I would not put it...

I'm not sure we have the same definition of a "canon" I know that's not how the word is used from a literary point of view

Thank you for your information, but as long as you don't pick THREE albums they will not be included on the list.

Please just choose THREE albums. The list isn't flawed. After we're ready with the nominations will discuss albums that might not be essential for our canon.
