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.

Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath are "progressive rock"?

I did not know that.

There had never been anything like them previously, so I'd say there was some progression there...

Will toss in Nektar “A Tab in the Ocean” side 1 in particular and side 2 of “Remember the Future”.

More recent “Fear of a Blank Planet” by Porcupine Tree whole CD start to finish. 

Even more recent and live “Music is our Friend” by King Crimson.  2 cd set.  
 

Also very recent “The Red Planet” by Rick Wakeman.
