mike what is your favorite progressive album???????

ME SIX.

He'll try to cop out and be like "Well there are lots of albums that I love."

But we must have an absolute number one.

As John Adams once proclaimed, "While I live, let me know Mike's favorite Prog band"

Or maybe Patrick Henry said, "Give me Mike's favorite Prog band, or give me death." I can't remember which.

Done.
 
That's an easy question and easy answer for me. Dream Theater - Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory.

In Mike's case, I'll seventh it for eagerly awaiting a response!
 
I dunno about Moonmadness, it seems to me like First Utterance by Comus or maybe a Porcupine Tree album would be closer to his favorites.
 
I actually prefer Wake of Poseidon over The Court slightly. It may be a ripoff, but its still great stuff and The Devil's Triangle is really cool. I like King Crimson's live stuff from 73-74 the most though I think
