Wow, interesting list ... more to talk about there than in most prog rock lists that you see around. I've never heard Ghost in the Machine termed prog ... I'm going to have to think about that one.
If we're counting Sgt. Pepper, I think that it's only fair to mention Abbey Road as well, which is the most proggy Beatles albums, and reminds me that you don't have The Who on your list: Tommy and Quadrophenia have to be there! I'd also add Gentle Giant and a band that I've only discovered for myself this year: Phish. I thought that they were a jam band, but their early stuff is the purest reinvention of seventies prog that I've heard.
