Quark is good, but I think a better choice would be Warrior On The Edge Of
Time. Reason is that is thematically cohesive (aka "concept album") with the
exception of the last song. Plus it uses the Mellotron, a standard "prog-rock"
instrument (but so does HotMG, but it dosen't hang together like WotEoT does,
thematically. Quarks' first side hangs together, but the second side is a
little esoteric in song choices).

But what about BOC's Secret Treaties as a great prog album?
