This list does not contain the best album from each PA genre or my fave album from each genre.  This is the list of albums that I felt like listening to last night.  I created a playlist containing these 25 albums and hit shuffle.    Yes friends, I enjoyed my listening experience last night!   Which is your fave from the list?

Voted the self titled `Biglietto per L'Inferno' album, one of my favourite Italian prog albums. The murky sound quality gives the album a surprisingly darker and heavier sound!

Also been giving `Tangerine Dream - Sorcerer' several spins lately, and it's pretty damn good - darker and eerie! So that might have been my second choice.

However, cheating with a top 5 would also include:

Gentle Giant - Octopus
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream
Anathema - We're Here Because We're Here.

Lots of great albums on this list!

I'm far to have listened to all this albums but I love Zappa's Hot Rats, Opeth's Heritage (which is objectively not an extreme prog metal album, to be quite honest Wink), GG's Octopus and the first Led Zeppelin Smile

These are always just popularity contests... People just vote for the only one they know of. That said I picked Octopus above the two or three others I actually recognize.

I didn't notice Zappa before voting Octopus ...
Hot Rats
Octopus
Stand Up
LZ

I agree.... but since I am not a fan of growling or screaming vocals this is one of few albums that I have that fits under tech/extreme genre.    I quite enjoy this album, but was not crazy about the other Opeth albums I have heard

I can't not vote for Ummagumma. I love that album to pieces. The studio part, in particular, makes me go completely berserkHeart

Sounds like you listen a lot like I do, DigDug - a little of everything.  I was just thinking the other day that Five Miles Out is one of my favorite Oldfield albums because it balances both his pop and progressive sides very well.
 
1. Five Miles Out - Oldfield
2. Stand Up - Tull
3. Bridge of Sighs - Trower
4. Revolver - Beatles
5. Octopus - Gentle Giant
6. Hot Rats - Zappa

Nice list man. Here is what I like out of it.
Soft Machine
Gentle Giant
Shakti
Agitation Free
Jethro Tull
Sieges Even
Pink Floyd
Frank Zappa
Biglietto per L'Inferno
Dun
Beatles
Smashing

Actually it's between two masterpieces, Sieges Even and Dun. So I'm gonna go with Dun which is kinda tough to beat.

Haven't heard all of these (by a long shot), but I'm gonna vote anyway. I love JT, but I'm not crazy about Stand Up, so I'll go with GG's octo opus masterpiece.

There are many albums I really like here, but ultimately it's between Dun Eros, AF's Malesch, and S-G's Tourist.  I'm leaning towards Malesch, but no, I'm voting St. Germain's.  It's not going to get  alot of love here, I think it's a really good album, and it's the one I feel like listening to right now.

Almost went with Octopus but then I noticed Shakti's Natural Elements and had to choose it. One of my favorite albums.

Krautrock is the winner for me, my favorite by a decent bit out of those listed which I enjoy.

Just listened to Octopus today! No matter how much I love The Beatles (though Revolver isn't my favorite), recently I've really gotten into Gentle Giant.

So, easily Octopus Smile
