I 2nd Van Der Graaf Gen'.! BIG Time! - But an slightly easier starting point might be "Godbluff".
"like where do i start with the likes of yes and genesis?"
With Yes, get any or all of the "Yes holy trinity": The Yes Album", "Fragile" &/or "Close to the Edge".
Genesis: "Trick of the Tail", "Foxtrot".
Have you tried more of Rush's catalogue? They're My specialty! :)
ELP- Tarkus, Brain Salad Surgery
Jethro Tull- Aqualung
Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge

Genesis: Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot. These are gems from the very early 70's.
David Bowie- The Man Who Sold The World. Very dark
Alic Cooper: Love It To Death
Judas Priest- Stained Class
The Who- Tommy , Quadrophenia. They have their critics but I recommend both. I think they are great
These are albums you might have to find at a vintage vinyle shop but they are all good from start to finish!

The Nice - Elegy
Spirogyra (NOT the lame jazzers) - St Radigunds
VanDer Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts (a bit weird, but it grows on you)
I got a box full of vinyl prog albums from my Dad's friend when I was about 13 and I never recovered !
