Top 5 "Classic" Prog albums

[black max]

I admire you people's guts for trying to weed it out to just 5. No can do on this end. Random commentary:

Nice to see mention of later KC, Djam Karet, and some of the others. Djam's "The Devouring" is a tremendous choice; far and away their most "traditionally" proggy, it has a great Pink Floyd feel to it that most of their other material lacks.

I hate the term "prog." I use it for lack of a better term. The discussion of "art rock" vs. "prog" was interesting, but the term "art rock" is no better. Wish there was a really workable term for the music..."Weisenheimer," maybe, or "Shmoo."
