...within the prog-verse, naturally. I'll kick things off:
The Glass Prison - Dream Theater
Definitely not a fan of DT, however that track is really powerful from a composition/execution standpoint - and lyrically hits home.
here's another:
Dogs - Pink Floyd
I really do not like Pink Floyd at all - no need for me to elaborate on the 'why'. Gilmour's guitar work throughout all 17 minutes of 'Dogs' is his finest recorded studio work with the band, IMHO.

I was about to say ELP’s Tarkus as it is the sole track of their’s I still purposely seek out and listen to…but I have a soft spot for some of Greg Lake’s ballads as well as loving 75% of the track Trilogy.
I used to love Van Damme Generator - really did - but man those vocals haven’t aged well to these ears. I still listen to and love My Room (Waiting For Wonderland).
Used to dig a bit of Dream Theater as well, but the only track I really like these days is Octavarium.

I'd probably not say I don't like Roxy Music, but much of them doesn't connect with me, but Bogus Man & Oh Yeah do.
With Steely Dan it's similar, but Aja I love.

For Roxy Music, it's "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" (from For Your Pleasure). For Steely Dan, it's "Do It Again" (from Can't Buy A Thrill).
