    The hardest is finding which are my personal big 5. I'll keep it to mainly symph, and bands that had several really good albums (individually 'Per Un Amico' is one of my very favorites from the 70s, but most of their output is lesser than these 5):

    1. Selling England
    2. Wind & Wuthering
    3. Foxtrot

    1. Power & The Glory
    2. Octopus
    3. Free Hand (this one's tough as their albums were so consistent)

    1. Islands
    2. Lizard
    3. Larks' Tongues

    1. Thick As A Brick
    2. Benefit
    3. Songs From The Wood

    1. Tales
    2. Close To The Edge
    3. Relayer

  3. #3
    1. Still Life
    2. World Record
    3. Pawn Hearts

    1. Going for the one
    2. Relayer
    3. Fragile

    1. Dark side of the Moon
    2. Wish you were here
    3. Animals

    1. Minstrel
    2. Thick as a brick
    3. Songs from the wood

    1. A black box
    2. And close as this
    3. In camera

    Joni Mitchell.

    A second choice would be Of Montreal, but the other titles wouldn't match
