Got a lot of time to kill, so:

"Dark Side of the Moon" - Pink Floyd
"Physical Graffiti" - Led Zeppelin
"Life's Rich Pageant" - R.E.M.
"Hotel California" - The Eagles
"Barnstorm" - Joe Walsh
"Let There Be Rock" - AC/DC
"Hemispheres" - Rush
"Wish You Were Here" - Pink Floyd
"Southern Harmony and Musical Companion" - Black Crowes

All great albums that I never tire of listening to.  Others that merit note:

They're currently without a label, having been dropped by Polygram after
the release of their fifth album 'Sideways' earlier this year.  (I'm
counting 'Rhythm Of Youth', 'Folk Of The 80s Part III', 'Pop Goes The
World', and '...In The 21st Century' as the first four.) 

If anyone knows anything about an early release of 'Rhythm Of Youth' called
'Safety Dance', please email me.

Following up on the Peter Green thread:

Fleetwood Mac's box set will be available November 24, 1992.
It includes new stuff, never before released stuff, and old stuff.
I am assuming this means some Peter Green material too.
Also, Mick Fleetwood has published a book of photographs,
which I assume includes some of Peter Green. As long as we
are on this topic, Lindsey Buckingham's new album _Out of the
Cradle_ is quite good. I recommend it.

RE:> The Beach Boys were too commercial to be considered
Progressive.

A considerable portion of the Beach Boys career was
non-commercial, dispite thier early records and their current
repotoire.  Law suits continue to rage here in California partly
fueled by Brian Wilson's desire to go certain directions that
were considered non-commercial by the rest of the group and
their recording industry sponsers.

From Pet Sounds until Surfs up the Beach Boys headed by Brian
Wilson broke some new ground.  I'm not suggesting that this is
related at all the the British Style prog-rock scene.  But by
definition can certianly fall into the blend of advant-garde
'classical' and/or jazz influences that are commonly ascribed to
the art-rock sythesis.

Brian Wilson, like Zappa, Fripp and others had an early
education in classical composition.  Via the film industry, Van
Dyke Parks, and the usual sources of classical influence, he was
influenced by the works of Stravinsky, George Antheil, and other
European composers who sought exile in Hollywood after/during
WWII.

Listening to the bootleg versions of the Beach Boy's unreleased
'Smile' or selected cuts of 'Surf's Up', 'Pet Sounds', 'Holland'
or 'Hero's and Villians' often exposes a political advant-garde
Beach Boys most people havn't heard on the radio.  Also
listening to 'Good Vibrations' carefully with headphones can
also give some insight into the complexity and sophistication of
this period of the Beach Boys music.  As stated earlier Brian
Eno has publicly attributed Brian Wilson as a major influence,

 This is very common in alot of recordings.  It's not actually a ringing

	Actually, not to take anything from PM, as I understand it, most of
	the keyboard arrangement for Relayer had already been worked out by
	Jon, Chris, and Steve, long before PM became keyboardist du jour, 
	including the solos!  I'm sure Patrick was able to do things with the

Yep.  Here's how I heard it from the Yes list "Notes From The Edge":

Tony Kaye had left Yes immediately after recording the 90125 album.
He was offered a movie role as the piano player in "This is Spinal
Tap".  For some reason, either he was rejected or he turned the roll
down.  While gone, however, Yes got Eddie Jobson to replace Tony.
They recorded the "Owner of a Lonely Heart" video with him.  Then Tony
returned.  Yes allowed him back in immediately, since he already knew
all the songs.  Yes offered to keep Eddie around as well, since they
thought the combination would work.  But Eddie didn't want to be in
the band with another keyboardist, so he left.  Yes all but removed
Eddie from the video, leaving only 3 or 4 frames of him at the
beginning when the camera blinks on to everybody.

Rather than just list _my_ favorite Yes albums, which is what most
people are gonna do, why don't you tell us what you liked/disliked
about what you heard?  Some of your other favorite bands might help,
as well.  There's a big difference between _Time & A Word_, _Fragile_,
_Tormato_, and _90125_, and it would help the recommendation process
if you gave us some assistance.

But if you have access to _Classic Yes_, find out what your favorite
songs are, find the albums they're on, and start from there--there's
some advice!

Any opinions on Patrick Moraz?  He did much stuff with the Moody
Blues, and he did one album with Yes.  (Relayer).  I've also seen a
video tape of him performing with Yes on the Relayer tour.  A style
completely different from Wakeman and Kaye, but incredible,
nonetheless.  The solos in "The Gates of Delirium" and "To Be Over"
are wonderful.  "Sound Chaser" was also good, but it's mostly a
guitar/bass piece.

And the fourth Yes keyboardist?  Not counting Wakeman's return, there

Jean luc Ponty was first recommended to by a former roomate and violinist.
Actually I had two roomates that were violinist.  One preferred and the

both with Mahavishnu Orchestra and one of his solo albums (Ariel).  I like
that album a lot.  I still like Ponty better.

	Alan Parsons Project - The one group that defines the genre!
	Yes
	Emerson, Lake and Palmer
	Jethro Tull
	Vangelis - Not always rock but close enough
	Jon Anderson (i.e. Olias of Sunhillow)
	Mike Oldfield (i.e. Tubular Bells)
	Mannheim Steamroller
		Tends toward symphonic jazz but plenty of albums with rock
	Rick Wakeman (i.e. Myths & Legends of King Arthur)
	Pink Floyd
	Deep Purple
	Moody Blues
	Zappa (Vocally may not be symphonic, but accompaniment sometimes is)
	Electric Light Orchestra  (pop, but what the hey)
	Genesis/Peter Gabriel  (early works)
	The Who (Tommy soundtrack)
	The Beatles (mid years)
Some bands could be added if you consider Art Rock to be a derivative form:
	Queen
	Styx
