Greatest prog album of all time?
Listen to this
This is one of my favorites but I also have to include Close to the Edge by Yes in my top 2 greatest prog albums list.

If Dark Side of the Moon is considered prog it's up there. I love Thick as a Brick and then you have your Fragile from Yes. It's top 5 for sure though.
And honestly Trick of the Tail and Abacab are both pretty awesome Genesis albums too, especially without some of Gabriel's overindulgent bullshite he brought to the table sometimes.

Is he the resident progman?
I do fricking love Genesis though

It's up there. I like Foxtrot a lot too.
Ever hear of a band called Happy the Man? That was a good prog band from back then. Ditto for Camel. I really liked UK, sort of a prog super group.
Others...Gong is really good; I like Steve Hillage too. Speaking of Steve, some of Steve Hackett's side projects were good. I like some of the psychedelic Todd Rundgren stuff like Wizard, Todd and Utopia. I'm a big ELP fan, saw them in the Assembly Center. I like a lot of Roxy Music but there's a lot I don't care for also. Pretty big Zappa fan. Not sure if Floyd counts but I'm a massive Floyd fan. Saw them in PMAC too. I like Yes, King Crimson and Traffic. Some of Supertramp's early stuff was pretty progressive. Pretty much any album that Tony Levin has ever played on. That's the lot I think.
Side note: prog was really big when I was at LSU. The radio station was called WPRG for a time.
By the way, I'm going to see Steve Hackett in Seattle in December. He's doing his Genesis: Revisited show. So they'll be doing Moonlit Knight, Supper's Ready, Musical Box, Firth of Fifth, Watcher of the Skies, etc. I'm pretty fired up for that one.
ETA: Loved Brand X! I thought of them more as fusion than prog but those are just labels. Whatever they were, Brand X was one of the most talented bands I ever heard.

There are probably 50 to 100 very good prog bands you could list from the early 70's. I was never a big Genesis fan, and they certainly turned commercial when Collins took over. If you want to really look into prog, you could probably start with the Canterbury bands like Begger's Farm, Soft Machine, Matching Mole, Hatfield & The North, etc. A lot of excellent Italian prog bands from Italy like PFM, Banco, Bigletto Per L'Inferno, etc. Don't forget Germany- Amon Duul, Faust, Can, etc, and same goes for Scandinavia, bands like Wigwam.
