A bit crazy to do such lists because art cannot be ranked, but for fun
Genesis: The Lamb Pink Floyd: The Wall VDGG: Still Life Camel: Mirage Ange: Au delà du délire Le Orme: Felona e Sorona (Italian version) Twelfth Night: Fact and Fiction Steve Hackett: Spectral Mornings
A lot of other albums are just as good as these, and it's all older stuff because music leaves a deeper impression when you are a teenager or a young adult, which was my case when I first listen to these records. I started listening to prog in 1978, so at the beginning of the end of the first wave and through the horrendous eighties.

Again... it's 8 OF the best not the best 8. Prog fans behaving like normal run of the mill people. Tut.

I actually love Thing-Fish, The Final Cut, and Open Your Eyes. I almost love Under Wraps. And Calling All Stations and In the Hot Seat I like even though I don't love them. But none of them would be in a top 8 for me. Trout Mask Replica wouldn't be a top 8 for me, either. I love that one, too, although it would probably only be about halfway down a ranked list of Captain Beefheart albums for me.

I'm guessing that either you don't like Trout Mask Replica very much or you have even more unique taste than I do.

Just another silly post but I do like Trout, very entertaining and quite hilarious.

1. Gentle Giant - In a Glass House 2. Rush - Caress of Steel 3. Eloy - Floating 4. Rush - A Farewell to Kings 5. Gentle Giant - Free Hand 7. Rush - Permanent Waves 8. Eloy - Inside
It may switch around sometimes, but if we're not counting progressive and extreme metal, and just progressive rock, this is mainly what gets in my top 8.

Boo on In the Court of the Crimson King.
Not that I dislike that album, and I'm a huge Crimson fan, but in my opinion every other Crimson album is better.

Thanks for the opinion for sure, but the author of that list probably has little knowledge of the whole gamut of the genre. It is simply impossible to pick 8 best. There are things that are just impossible. How can one miss Cressida's Asylum, Spring's first album, Still Life's eponymous masterpiece, Atlantis Philharmonic, Beggar's Opera? I would rather talk about 150 Progressive Rock Recordings I Should Listen To Before I Die. No less.

With only one album per band:
Yes- close to the edge Genesis- A trick of the tail Gentle Giant -Octopus Spock's Beard - the Light Camel- The Snow Goose ELP- same King Crimson - Larks' tongues in Aspic Marillion - clutching at straws
