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.

Don't worry about the negative nancies. I listen to the few bands you listed as recent prog and really liked All traps on Earth A drop of light. More punch than the others in a zeul sort of way. Saw Magma live in Geneva Switzerland around 1972, a concert that left the 500 people in the auditorium completely spent, literally laying flat on their seats. 

Anyhow I found a CD of ATOE on discogs and bought it. Thank you.
