I think all the Gentle Giant albums up through Interview (1976) are good -- after that they went in a less interesting "pop" direction.

Gryphon is not among my faves, but "Red Queen" is a classic example of "harlequin winkle-picker prog." ;-)

Jethro Tull is OK -- I'm not gonna push them on anyone, but there's good tracks on most of their early records.

If you're into the "Canterbury sound" at all, the Italian group Picchio Dal Pozzo's self-titled LP (1976) is a real gem. (Like halfway between Canterbury and the "romantic" Italian prog sound.)

(Lots of great "Canterbury" bands to explore!!! That and kraut are where the real prog action was.)
