This would be my baker's dozen (in poll order). While albums like Pawn Hearts, Rock Bottom, Third and Rétrospective Vol. 1 & 2 have been long time favourites (and desert island records), today I would go with Coil for The Ape of Naples (I accidentally called it The Age of Nipples once), or California, largely because it has no votes and I tend to like to give the not-voted-for some support if I like multiple ones a lot.

Coil - The Ape of Naples
Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Magma - Rétrospective Vol. 1 & 2
Electric Masada - At the Mountains of Madness
Soft Machine - Third
Santana - Abraxas
Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - Safe as Milk
Mr. Bungle - California
Caravan - In the Land of Grey and Pink
Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
NEU! - NEU! '75
Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 3 (aka Melt)

While I have 23 I made of these, I cared most about showing the first two (or three) because it related to another topic and I think that person might be interested.

My personal top list of these:
Rush - Moving Pictures
The Mahavishnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin - The Inner Mounting Flame
Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Magma - Rétrospective Vol. 1 & 2
Soft Machine - Third
Santana - Abraxas
NEU! - NEU! '75
Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel (Melt)

But my vote goes to VDGG (tomorrow it could be different).

The same for me too on both counts. Smile

It's surely a fact that there're really many albums, we both like, even maybe not the Danish ones. Big smile

Like Saperlipopette! my top three would be Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom, VdGG's Pawn Hearts and Soft Machine's Third. My next most listened to one would be Magma's (I have so loved Theusz Hamtaahk off it), and I too do like Safe as Milk (my favourite Beefheart album). The Electric Masada and Neu! Both the Cravan and Santana have been favourites of mine. There's another album on this list that has been very special to me, and rarely gets mentioned, and that is Boredom's Vision Creation Newsun. Today that underdog will get my vote. That was impulsive, and caused some very quick regret, I really should have gone with Rock Bottom (so poignant and made such an impact on me).

Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts (408)
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom (427)
Soft Machine - Third (464)

Seeing Rock Bottom with no votes, it seems I was able to vote for it over the others anyway.

Not quite as strong as the other list overall, but Rock Bottom > Pawn Hearts are great albums.

Canterbury today: Caravan followed by Wyatt. Not that the first is really better than the second, but In the land of grey and Pink is an album I was used to trip on.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
