While Rush is one of my favorite bands, i've still not heard Test for Echo & Vapor Trails.

Same with the Yes & Time and a Word.

Let's see. Most important gaps in terms of popularity among Proggers would be:
 
Gentle Giant- Acquiring The Taste, Three Friends
Rush- Hemispheres
Anglagard- Hybris
Mike Oldfield- Tubular Bells
No Magma at all
 
Except for the Oldfield album, I've never seen the others at reasonable prices. And some of them (Magma or Anglagard), I've never seen them at all here in Argentina.

A few albums from each of the following: Banco, PFM, Museo Rosenbach, Neal Morse, Transatlantic, Porcupine Tree, Kayo Dot, maudlin of the Well, etc. People here discuss a lot of obscure stuff as well, so I feel left out anyway and go back to listening to ma' British folk and American/Brit/Canadian singer/songwriter s%^t.

But you are going to rectify this, right, my man?

Ha of course! If anything, it's always reassuring there's still such wonderful music out there waiting for me to hear. How terrible it would be if I didn't have any more room for growth!

Most holes are intended (no Genesis after "Abacab", no Gentle Giant after "Missing Piece", no Yes before "Fragile", no VDGG after "Vital", no ELP after "Love Beach") but the only hole that I think is embarrassing is I'm a huge fan of French prog and I've never heard Magma Wacko

Dark Side of the Moon, though I’ll probably eventually get one of the new expanded remasters, probably the one with the 2nd live disc.

I do, however, have the tribute albums put out by Magna Carta and Purple Pyramid.

I have many gaps in my collection.
Last years I had little money to spend on cd's, plus Spotify came in.
Examples of gaps: I have nothing from Rush (it took a long time before liking them, and even now I only like them just a bit)
I only bought a few Floyd and ELP albums in my life.
Most records I have was from my bachelor days, when I still bought what I liked: so Genesis and Yes, my first prog favorites; I bought a lot of albums from them.
