Best progressive rock album side

My intent is to seek albums which I may not own from the recommendations of you all. I ranked best sides of progressive rock albums on vinyl that I own and came up with the following list. I don't want it to undermine anything else that an artist has created. I love it all but as far as start to finish on one side this is what I came up with.

#1: Supper's Ready

#2: Terrapin Station

#3: Atom Heart Mother

#4 The Court of the King Crimson

#5 Echoes

Of course there are many more. Some may not be complete sides like Atom Heart Mother but the intent of the artisan was to make it a complete side. I had a very hard time deciding between #1 and #2. Both are very worthy in my mind.

Even more recent and live “Music is our Friend” by King Crimson.  2 cd set.  
 

Also very recent “The Red Planet” by Rick Wakeman.

@mapman - should be a new P.T. album coming out very soon; have you read Steven Wilson's autobiography yet? Excellent read!

I'll go with The Pineapple Thief's "Versions of Truth". Deep into their catalog right now as I am going to their show in a few days.

OP by @ricmci "My intent is to seek albums which I may not own from the recommendations of you all."

So many great prog albums already listed, here are some that I really enjoy and may be obscure to some.  @ricmci, hopefully I've introduced you (and others) to some new prog that you will enjoy.  Links included.
