Post Metal: Cult of Luna- Somewhere Along the Highway
Progressive Metal: Vanden Plas- The God Thing
Tech Metal: Death- Symbolic
Extreme Metal: Opeth- Blackwater Park
Symphonic Prog: Yes- Close to the Edge
Neo Prog: Pendragon- The Masquerade Overture
Zeul: Magma- MDK
Canterbury: Hatfield and the North- s/t
The Rest I'm either not familier enough with or I feel that no one album could really represent that genre.

Defining a (sub-) genre with one album is pretty harsh...even sub -genres are quite wide. Let me try for one of my fav genres...neo prog...
While I read this thread I saw a lot of albums mentioned for neo (Marillion - Script most prominent). I think that is a very good neo prog album, although it is by today's standards not centre of the genre, I think.
My choice is IQ - Subterrenea.. This (double) album contains everything neo prog is about: Keyboard and guitar driven symphonic rock, wich emphasizes melody over technical exposior (which doesn't mean there is no technical quality, far from that), and (totally) without (jazz type) jamming.All the music is composed. It does include some heavy (metal type) riffing, without becoming metal. Melody is centre-stage everywhere.

Yup, very much agreeing with you, Stonie
Just like
Personal Fave =/= most representative of the genre

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

For Tech-Metal:
Voïvod - Killing Technology (1987), then Dimension Hatröss (1988)
Coroner - R.I.P. (1987 - and, yeah, I know they are not on PA, and, yeah, I consider as a fault) ;
Pestilence - Testimony of the Ancient (1991) ;
Death - Human (1991) and I would even mention Spiritual Healing (1990), even if we could see it as a "transition album".

Post Metal should really go to Panopticon.
For Tech/Extreme, Ghost Reveries.
