That's all you need to get into Prog Rock, then ask AntEater haha
Of course you know that's not true (the bolded part): personally, I've had a hard time getting into IQ --- still haven't managed it despite several tries --- and though I've heard one of the Frost* albums I wouldn't necessarily consider them as vital to someone getting into prog for the first time.

I think my list is a little more rounded, though you really can't go wrong with the Holy Trinity: Genesis, Yes and Rush. There's a whole lot more though, both new and old --- have you listened to Gazpacho?
