Inspired by this: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1768 
I am going to give 10 abbreviations of prog albums, and then you guys must answer them. There is also some bonus ones that are not albums, but something different(other music genre, movie tv show, book, etc). 

1.IAGH
2.FGWGPAN
3.ANAAW
4.ISNL
5.SAOS
6.ISOTLC 
7.SCAME
8.SFTW
9. SOABDCS
10. THOTH
*GWTW
*MSCL
*SWTWC
*IAGDV
*ASND

Hints: # of Seasons, Butterflies, Brando, the bank, and life.

This better fits the "Just for Fun" section of the forum. OK, prog related, but more of a game.

Well for a start, and not to be too pickyoon, this is wrong.

It should be IOADD Illusions On A Double Dimple

There is two more bonus ones, and both of them are movies and tv shows. ASND. Let me make that ASCND. It stars an actor named in this song by Gentle Giant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2nkmjlYyt0. On of the albums on the list is also by them. Another one is a tv show MSCL. From the 90s and only lasted a season.

I have made fun of this tendency in the past, although I fully understand why people abbreviate. I do it sometimes. Confusion abounds when there is not a clear context. The shorter the abbreviation, the more possible options there are.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

SOABDCS='Si on Avait Besoin d'une Cinquieme Saison' by Harmonium
GWTW=has to be 'Gone With the Wind' but I have no idea which band did such an album
IAGH='In a Glass House' by Gentle Giant

I have a couple more ideas but I shall come back when I have more.
Now give me my points. Tongue

1. In a glass house
   6. In search of the lost chord
    8. Songs from the wood

I would have to think about the others. These aren't really obvious. Is one of the last ones In a gadda da vida?

IHGAC - I haven't got a clue. Confused

It was hard enough figuring out what CTTE, ITCOTCK & VDGG all meant when I first joined ProgArchives. Embarrassed
