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.

Yeah, I'm stretching genre boundaries a bit but how 'bout Side One of Bowie's Aladdin Sane? The side boils with invention, energy and 'tude.

Speaking of American prog r, Starcastle, Starcastle and Fountains of Light. 70's band from Champaign Ill. Yes sound alike.

Brand X … an amalgam of a number of incredible musicians. Just as pretentious as anything else 🤣

@morguldrelb - I got to see Camel play 3 nights in a row, 2 shows per night, at the Boarding House in San Francisco when they were touring on 'Moonmadness'. Beautiful music, they put out.....

Drop the lifeline, step off the edge.....

Godley & Creme's "Consequences".  Three LPs, take your pick of any side as far as "best". 

Best listened to through good 'phones.
