I'm glad to see the love for Yes in here. I was all set to go for 2112, but then I ran into Close to the Edge. I love Rush and 2112, but in all honesty, it is really just a really long rock song. They do a lot more later on in their career (I saw Hemispheres mentioned...very nice). Close to the Edge has it all when you think about prog. It's long, it's catchy, and it is very original. I can't think of many other artists that sound like Yes.
