My congratulations for including that underrated jewel of prog: Rain Dances.
I'm not sure about my top 20, but I think there would be a lot of Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation and Camel stuff. After them Rush, Marillion, Jethro Tull, Opeth, Neal Morse... (any of his projects) and many others that I forget now.

Funny list, you forgot VdGG, GG, KC, TFK, E(cholyn), ..., ...
The problem with a top 20 prog albums list is that there are much more than 20 really great albums. So whatever you do, some essential albums will be missing.

1 Camel - The Snow Goose
2 Mostly Autumn - The Last Bright Light
3 Genesis - Selling England By The Pound
4 Camel - Moonmadness
5 Strawbs - From The Witchwood
6 Genesis - Foxtrot
7 Mostly Autumn - Spirit of Autumn Past

11 BJH - BJH Live
12 Rush - All The World's A Stage

15 Camel - Mirage
16 Genesis - Nursery Cryme
17 Marillion - Fugazi
18 Gryphon - Red Queen To Gryphon Three
19 Focus - Moving Waves
20 Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
And before anyone moans that there's no KC, ELP, DT, VDGG or GG, I don't like the first four much and Free Hand and Octopus would have been in the next five.
Bugger! Just remembered that this site classes Horslips as prog. So The Tain goes in at 3 and The Book Of Invasions at 6.
