Hey, I'm a new member here and am just learing how this all works but I thought I would like to contribute to this forum and post up my list of 'masterpiece' prog albums. I'm interpreting this as albums that changed the game or broke ground not necessarily my favourite albums.
Not in order...One album per artist

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Genesis - Foxtrot
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Yes - Fragile
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Can - Tago Mago
Caravan - In The Land of Grey and Pink
Soft Machine - Third
Camel - Mirage
Gentle Giant - Octopus
Aphrodites Child - 666
Van Der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
NEU! - NEU!
Amon Duul II - Yeti
Magma - Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh

I'm glad you got Dream Theater on there, but I think you got the wrong album. It should be "Awake." :)

Refugee is as good as any symph album I've heard. Moraz is a genius. Of course he got the gig in Yes on the back of that although I've never quite appreciated his work in Yes as much as I did in Refugee.

BTW One that I forgot to include on my list is Rick Wakeman - Six Wives Of Henry VIII. Great instrumental keyboard dominated album with not one duff moment.

I got a list that I did some time ago for myself. So here it goes:

- In the Court of the Crimson King (King Crimson).
- Gentle Giant (Gentle Giant).
- Fragile (Yes).
- Live in Pompeii (Pink Floyd).
- Acquiring the Taste (Gentle Giant).
- Close to the Edge (Yes).
- Banco del Mutuo Soccorso (Banco del Mutuo Soccorso).
- Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd).
- The 6 Wives of Henry the VIII (Rick Wakeman).
- Tubular Bells (Mike Oldfield).
- Selling England by the Pound (Genesis).
- Inferno (Metamorfosi).
- Felona e Sorona (Le Orme).
- Hamburger Concerto (Focus).
- Turn of the Cards (Renaissance).
- Mirage (Camel).
- Hergest Ridge (Mike Oldfield).
- Wish you were here (Pink Floyd).
- Ommadawn (Mike Oldfield).
- The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table (Rick Wakeman).
- El Patio (Triana).
- Tales of Mistery and Imagination (The Alan Parsons Project).
- Animals (Pink Floyd).
- Criminal Record (Rick Wakeman).
- Hijos del Agobio (Triana).
- Script for a Jester's Tear (Marillion).
- Depois do Fim (Bacamarte).
- Hybris (Anglagard).
- The Division Bell (Pink Floyd).
- Out There (Rick Wakeman).
- Train of Thought (Dream Theater).
- Originalis (Cast).
- The Whirlwind (Transatlantic).
- Ecailles des Lunes (Alcest).
- The Raven that Refused to Sing (Steven Wilson).

And I have just been listening to Terria, by Devin Townsend (my first album from him), and I'm sure I'll be adding it to the list. Plus, I haven't yet added albums from Riverside, Pain of Salvation, nor Haken... I haven't made up my mind yet... but I believe there shoulde be more than one album from each band that should be on my list too.

dellinger, I like your list. But I never hear Out There by Rick Wakeman. Is it that good?
 
By the way you don't like Strawbs? Ghost is very good.

This has been done quite a few times? Anyway, here's the best of the best for me - don't want to take up too much space  

Done from best to worst:

Genesis - Trespass
Supertramp - Crime Of The Century
Genesis - Foxtrot
Procol Harum - Shine On Brightly
Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Pavlov's Dog - Pampered Menial
Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
Yes - Close To The Edge
VDGG - Pawn Hearts
King Crimson - ITCOTCK
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
ELP - Brain Salad Surgery
Harmonium - Si On Avait...
Rush - A Farewell To Kings
Rush - Hemispheres
Rush - 2112
Genesis - From Genesis To Revelation

Those are all albums that would make my all-time top 25. Some masterpieces from other genres:

Post-Rock: Agaetis Byrjun, The Seer
Canterbury Scene: In The Land Of Grey And Pink, Caravan, Rock Bottom, Egg
Prog Electronic: Zeit
Prog Metal: Metropolis Pt. 2
Prog Folk: Aqualung, Stand Up, TAAB
Neo-Prog: Script For A Jester's Tear, Misplaced Childhood

Smile great list!! Many of these I've never heard (Cast - Originalis, Triana's self-titled album) so I'll check those out!! Thank you!

And I'm so happy for youSmileSmileSmile just discovering Devin Townsend SmileSmileSmile Every album has something special to offer. Terria's actually one of my least favorite albums from him. Compared to Synchestra, Ocean Machine, Epicloud, Infinity, Ziltoid, Ki, and Accelerated Evolution (just to name a few), Terria doesn't stand up. 

Also, I recommend the digi-pack of Accelerated Evolution. There's 3 fantastic bonus tracks from a project Devy never followed up on: Project EKO.

If the standards of a masterpiece are to be objective, wouldn't everyone's list be the same. Wink

I meant to write "Felona E Sorona" on the list above. What I wrote was the title of the English translation version which just isn't the same animal as the original.
