from this period...



Yes -- "Relayer" (1974)

PFM -- "L'isolo di niente (Island of Nothing)" or "The World Became the World" (1974)

Roxy Music -- "For Your Pleasure" (1973)

Jethro Tull -- "Passion Play" (1973)

Jethro Tull -- "Warchild" (1974)

Mothers of Invention -- "Over-nite Sensation" (1973)

Frank Zappa -- "Apostrophe" (1974)

le Orme -- "Per un Amico" ( one of the Greatest Italian Prog albums, ever !! ) --

{ many of it's tracks can be found with English Lyrics, on "Photos of Ghosts" (1973) }

Soft Machine "Third" (1970)

Genesis -- "Trespass" (1970)



If you favor "Secret Treaties" then you might as well add --



BOC -- "Blue Oyster Cult" (1972)

BOC -- "Tyranny and Mutation" (1973)



I think all 3 of the first BOCs, should "stand together"



Edit --

Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti (1979)

King Crimson - Discipline (1981)

Mastodon - Leviathan (2004)

Dream Theater - Octavarium (2005)

Rx Bandits - ...And The Battle Begun (2006)



I feel like I'm blaspheming your list of really old albums but these more contemporary ones are still classics in my book.



In case anyone cares, my favorite two on the OP's list are In the Court of the Crimson King and Stand Up.
