King Crimson - Red
Rush - Moving Pictures
Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon
Kate Bush - The Dreaming

Oh dear! This terribly hard old chestnut again! My list would doubtless change with the wind, there are far too many classics out there for me to ever whittle down to a permanent ten. Nevertheless, as this 'goes to press' these would have to be there:
GENESIS - THE LAMB
GENESIS - NURSERY CRYME
PENDRAGON - NOT OF THIS WORLD
YES - FRAGILE
YES - GOING FOR THE ONE
FLOWER KINGS - FLOWER POWER
FLOWER KINGS - UNFOLD THE FUTURE
PINK FLOYD - DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
PINK FLOYD - THE WALL
RPWL - TRYING TO KISS THE SUN
(All selections, as stated above, subject to change!) 
Waiting in the wings are such brilliancies as:
PORCUPINE TREE - THE SKY MOVES SIDEWAYS
KAIPA - KEYHOLDER
YES - RELAYER
GLASS HAMMER - SHADOWLANDS
PINK FLOYD - WISH YOU WERE HERE
GENESIS - SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND
GENESIS - A TRICK OF THE TAIL
STEVE HACKETT - METAMORPHEUS
STEVE HACKETT - TO WATCH THE STORMS
STEVE HACKETT - GUITAR NOIR
(Consider these even an alternative ten. In other words, the question is unanswerable!)

OK, only one album per band:
Camel - The Snow Goose (tough to leave out Mirage, Moonmadness and A Live Record)
Horslips - The Tain (very tough call between this and The Book of Invasions)
Genesis - Selling England (Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme just miss out)
Mostly Autumn - The Last Bright Light (I would really want their entire discography with me)
Strawbs - From the Witchwood (Grave New World is so close)
Runrig - Heartland (Could take 6 or 7 others)
Wishbone Ash - Argus
Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink
Solution - Fully Interlocking (I'd have taken Cordon Bleu if my ex-wife hadn't chucked it out)
Wolfstone - Unleashed
Some of these are not prog and you won't have heard of them. You could do worse than to check them out if you haven't.
I'd have to leave a lot of great music behind!
