Progressive Rock
by 
RockyRaccoon 
I'm intending on doing everything I can to listen to every prog rock album ever recorded between the 60s and 70s, and as much as I can from the 80s onward (yes, I know there's great modern prog, that's on here too, but I'm a sucker for the golden era). Likely this is an unattainable goal, but as I attempt it, I'll be ranking all of it here.

Great chart. You are so right about Animals as # 1!
Surprised to see Meatloaf there. Good album, but does it belong in a prog list? In any case - good list!
