It would be a mistake not to get Godbluff.

If you don't already have "Relayer" then, by all means, get it.  Don't know enough about the others you listed to give you an educated opinion.

You must own Godbluff.  I will probably be stoned to death for saying this, but Relayer is one of my least favorite Yes albums.  The Gates of Delirium is great.  The rest, IMO, is disposable.  Unorthodox Behavior is also a winner.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I think Unorthodox, Faust IV, Relayer and Godbluff at least are more essential than Megadeth and Death, even though I love those bands.

Godbluff and Faust IV are must haves. I haven't heard the others though,except Relayer. So make that Relayer, Godbluff and Faust IV + one album of your choice. Smile

Godbluff, Relayer, Unorthodox Behaviour, Faust IV, Visions of the Emerald Beyond
 
Godbluff and Relayer are essential prog records to a good collection...get them as soon as possible, Unorthodox Behaviour is a great fusion record so add that one when you can.

That's 6, i'm getting 5. (Can't spend too much birthday money on just one order Wink)
Testament's songs sounds pretty much the same, but some are interesting. And since i'm looking for something less-known, i thought "WHAT THE HELL!" Tongue

Sorry, i looked at the 4-6 of the first post. If you have an iPod, then you can get Testament on iTunes. Do you have The Gathering? I hate to add to your list, but that's the best Testament album. It has Chuck Billy and Eric Peterson (normal Testament members), plus James Murphy from Death and Obsessed on guitar, Dave Lombardo from Slayer and Fantomas on drums, and extreme session man Steve DiGiorgio on bass.

Relayer needs to be on the list.  The rest I leave to your discretion.  Wink

That may be, but I would place a higher priority on Yes, Mahavishnu, and VDGG.
