This list of six is, in my opinion, far superior to the first "big" six--and a lot tougher to choose from.

No Ashes Are Burning, that's my favorite after Selling England.

It won't. Gentle Giant will beat Oldfield no doubt, but they are closer than I thought they would be.

Very hard to choose; from the 'awful' category (above), I think MDK is pretty close to perfect.

1 Caravan
2 GG
3 Oldfield

All 4* albums.

The rest are awful.

For me, toss up between Future Days and For Girls. Voted For Girls just to keep things interesting...

The Can album here is in a class of it's own imho. I feel bad for the Caravan and Magma releases as they both are pretty damn fine, but in no way shape or form reach the infinite beauty of Future Days' earexpanding calypso funk. 
Tubular Bells is a great album as well - one I used to practice my Kung Fu breathing exercises to (a long time ago).

Tubular Bells but really tough call amongst a bunch of favorite albums.

In a Glass House
Future Days
MDK
Tubular Bells

Haven't heard the other two, but I generally like Caravan and Frank Zappa, although I don't absolutely love either

(I can't yet vote anyway, so TB remains in the lead)
