Solid list with many of them also on my own Greatest album list. Some surprises here: for example, I don’t see the Hooters on many lists. Stick to your guns though!

I didn't know this was a "top prog" chart.... Still some great picks though!

...a warm welcom to one more progressive rock devotee.
You did a very good chart with a lot of my personal favourites.
(I don´t know why the artist Stomu Yamashta on BEA is filed under "Stomu Yamashta´s Go" and at the same time filed under Stomu Yamashta"...)
