Best progressive rock album side

My intent is to seek albums which I may not own from the recommendations of you all. I ranked best sides of progressive rock albums on vinyl that I own and came up with the following list. I don't want it to undermine anything else that an artist has created. I love it all but as far as start to finish on one side this is what I came up with.

#1: Supper's Ready

#2: Terrapin Station

#3: Atom Heart Mother

#4 The Court of the King Crimson

#5 Echoes

Of course there are many more. Some may not be complete sides like Atom Heart Mother but the intent of the artisan was to make it a complete side. I had a very hard time deciding between #1 and #2. Both are very worthy in my mind.

This is mostly pretentious crap by second rate musicians.  I didn't even like most of it when I was young.

This thread should be changed to 'which are the most over-rated prog rock discs'.

Let me start.  #1  All of Genesis   #2 Most of Yes     #3  Some of Pink Floyd

Yes - Fragile (side 1)

Strawbs - Hero and Heroine (side 2)

Renaissance - Turn of the Cards (side 1)

Jethro Tull - Benefit (side 1)

Genesis - Seconds Out (side 1)

I recently saw Steve Hackett performing the entirety of the Seconds Out album. and it was outstanding. If you are a Genesis fan, I'd highly recommend that you try to catch one of the remaining shows on this tour.
