I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Great choices, but if an unknown group played every note on Quadrophenia, they just might have made a prog record, no?

Todd - Todd Rundgren
Some Time In New York City - Lennon/Ono/Plastic Ono Band/Elephant's Memory Band/Mothers Of Invention

I'm sure I'm missing a few... though I limited myself to a couple of live albums.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
Excluding live albums,
Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?
Quadrophenia
Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Physical Graffity
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Living in The Past
Focus 3
These have already been posted but this is my list: Tales, Lamb, Physical Graffiti, Roxy & Elsewhere, Chicago II
Yes, it's a live album, buts its still great: Humble Pie, 'Rockin' the Fillmore'.
The seventies were the home of the debut album as a double album syndrome, following the lead I guess of Chicago Transit Authority: Gypsy (American semi-prog), Heaven (British brass rock), Burning Red Ivanhoe .M144' (Danish jazzy proto prog), Julian's Treatment 'A Time Before This' (British proto prog), Tomorrow's Gift '(first) (German proto prog), Junipher Green 'Friendship' (Norwegian proto-prog), Odmenn (Icelandic proto prog).
Very underrated, IMHO. Apart from the juvenile ambition on reflected in superfluous drum solo et al., this album should be heard by more folks. The same youthfulness makes Wonders in other departments of the record, I think.
