Pelican is awesome as well.  Earth is more similar to Sunn O))), though (Sunn being named after an Earth album, after all!)

Canterbury: Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink
Crossover: Peter Gabriel - Security
Eclectic: VDGG - Godbluff
Heavy: Rush - A Farewell to Kings
Neo: Marillion - Clutching at Straws
Prog Folk: Jethro Tull - Songs from the Wood
Psych/Space: Pink Floyd - Meddle
RPI: PFM - l'Isola di Niente
Symphonic: Genesis - Selling England by the Pound
Zeuhl: Magma - KA
 
I skipped over the ones I'm not well-versed in and went with Snowie's guidelines about picking an album that fits in the genre.  So while I think Thick as a Brick is JT's best album, I think that's more a symphonic than prog folk album and so went with Songs from the Wood instead, for example.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I consider Meddle to be the best space rock album there is.

That's 2/3 of the album right there.  I think the rest of the album is pretty good too.  Love Pillow of Winds and Fearless.  Seamus and San Tropez are kind of throwaways but fun songs ntl.  Probably, alongside Animals, it's my favorite Floyd album.

I like Pillow of Winds too, the others either suck or have gotten old.
Whatever though, i just disagreed that Meddle was definitive space rock album.

I dunno if it's the definitive album, but it is my favorite.  And considering that Echoes is half the album, when you toss in One of These Days, that gives you about 2/3 of the album (timewise).  Wink
