I don't really have ten all-time favourites, and my favourites du jour change, well, pretty much daily as I'm exposed to new-to-me music.... I know far too little prog to come up with a really ultimate list.  Currently I'm totally hung-up on Le Orme... Still, I'll try, and this is kind of arbitrary and in no particular order..
 
Le Orme - Maggio
Focus - Hamburger Concerto
Camel - La Princesse Perdue
Anglagard - Jordrok
Gentle Giant - Experience
Gryphon - Midnight Mushrumps
Caravan - Nine Feet Underground
ELP - Trilogy
Yes - Heart of the Sunrise
Genesis - Firth of Fifth
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

Top 10 as of now, ALWAYS subject to change.

In no particular order:

1. Stardust We Are (Flower Kings)
2. Thick as a Brick (Tull)
3. Echoes (Floyd)
4. The Gates of Delirium (Yes)
5. Starless (KC)
6. The Cinema Show (Genesis)
7. Stranger In Your Soul (Transatlantic)
8. The Isle of Everywhere (Gong)
9. Ensimmäinen Aamu (Pekka Pohjola)
10. Pudding En Gisteren (Supersister)

With honorable mention going to Spanish Key by Miles and A Love Supreme by Trane as they really arent prog, but share in the same spirit of innovation.

As somebody else has said on this topic, I would go for "unconventional" songs

1) Arbeit Macht Frei - Area
2) Smoke and Mirrors - Symphony X
3) Medio Oriente 249000 tutto comrpeso - Il Volo
4) Luglio, Agosto Settembre Nero - Area
5) Bangkok - Steve Vai
6) Wish you where here - Vanden Plas
7) Pleasent Shade of Grey part V - Fates Warning
8)  What Need Have I For This - Shakti With John McLaughlin
9) Metropolis part I - Dream Theater (sorry about that! Cry)
10) Passage To Paralysis - Explorers Club


I'm not generally very keen on "super groups" but I think in this forum too little is said about Explorers Club.

2. Robert Wyatt - Alifib (for me it is the absolute peak of rock bottom)
3. Pink floyd - Dogs
4. Genesys - Canutility & the coastliners
5. ELP - Tarkus
6. Renaissance - Song of Scheherezade
7. VDGG - Pioneers over C
8. Focus - Birth
9. Jethro Tull - My god
10. Aphrodite's child - Aegain sea
11. Talk talk - Ascension day
12. Kansas - Cheyene anthem
13. Yes - Heart of the sunrise
 
Could'nt stop in 10 as you see !

Maybe I'll maybe my life away
