Thick as a brick is the deepest work here IMO. But SEBTP is very close . INtCOTCK is an "iconic" album of course + very strong one but it isn't as wonderful as 2 other Masterpieces IMO .

I love all of them and Cinema Show is one of my favourite tunes ever, but I cast my vote to Thick As a Brick.

Iconic, by strict definition? ItCotCK without a doubt. Of the 3, my least favorite. An approximation of any quantitative measure of iconography would show the clear winner. I'm sure I've used an improper suffix.

I have a hard time completley understanding how to define Iconic here... I guess they all are Iconic prog albums. Court is ofcourse in a great measure the album that defined prog to begin with... but Thick as a Brick seems like a really Iconic album too (and it was meant to be such by Ian Anderson if I understand well). As for my favourite... well, I find that one hare too, the three of them are really wonderful. No vote from me yet.

Too monotonic for me. Only one somewhat boring song divided into two parts? I´m sorry...

Come on, the only prog album more iconic than Court is Dark Side of the Moon. That's not even a competition.
Mind you, as far as the best album goes out of these, I have to go with the Thick as a Brick crowd. That's one of my favourite albums of all time.
