Thick As A Brick is one of the best/best examples of prog there is, so...

I voted for days of future passed. It was one of the first albums of it's kind and is more or less the springboard from which the later bands emerged. Plus it has a cool concept: the day in the life of an ordinary man.

At least I'm halfway there because I own the first five albums on the list. Smile

Truthfully, none of those are really essential, in my opinion, though some are pretty good and I own 6 of them. 
I'd consider The Snow Goose  (Camel), Subterranea (IQ), Grave New World (Strawbs) and The Tain (Horslips) to be light years ahead of any of them as proper concept albums.

Phideaux FTW. I dunno. I never really liked "The Lamb".

That Wakeman album definitely belongs on there. Apparently it inspired Alan Parsons to do concept albums.

The full title didn't fit. That wasn't a comment on the music. LOL  I'll clarify.

Whoops. My bad. LOL
