There a few I can listen to most of, only skipping a track or two, but to list them would take forever.

There's some good albums on here, some absolutely horrible albums on here, but not a single mention of Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway? Quite possibly the single greatest achievement in Prog Rock history?
