Knowing a bit of your preferences, I would go for:
 
Hatfield's debut (this is one big suite, all the tunes flow flawlessly, this is so good)
In Praise of Learning (but that's only if you have already checked 'Legend' and 'Unrest' before)
 
Then, when it comes to favorites of mine that I'm not sure how much you'd like them:
 
Script for a Jester's Tear (probably my favorite 80s Prog album, and the best of Neo-Prog)
Focus III (I love this, though the two long tunes are rock jams with long solos, if you can deal with that, get it)
If I I Could Do It All Over Again... (another essential Canterbury album)
The Music That Died Alone (fantastic retro-canterbury with symph leanings, though if it's your first Tangent album, I would recommend you first 'A Place in the Queue')

For me it's between MAGMA and CARAVAN

Wurdah Itah is a favourite Magma studio album of mine.  That and Kobaia are probably my top two.

SFAJT by Marillion, easily. One of the best prog albums ever IMO.

I can't give a vote. Also it depends on your tastes. 
For me Magma, Renaissance and Caravan (in random order). I'm not a fan of Marillion's debut or Genesis live. I downloaded the Tangent today, so I can't say anything yet.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Close one between Hammill and Phideaux.  Phideaux by just a little bit, you'll love that album I think.

I like it that Jester's Tears seems to win the poll Wink. But it has been said already.The albums are so divergent, it all depends on your personal taste. If, for example, you are a Genesis fan, it is a sin not to know Marillions debut.

I see it now, that is a pity. Probably an option is needed, where you have multiple votes, but you can vote only once for the same choice. I suppose, that is what Zombywoof wanted. As it is now, this poll is useless. Thumbs Down

It was suggested earlier than I change the poll to allow for people to make more than one suggestion, so that's why I selected that option.

It doesn't really matter, since I've ordered the first 7, and I will probably get the rest anyhow.

Everyone says that the live versions of MDK are better than the studio and even though I haven't heard any I believe them. So you might want to start digging through their catalogue of live releases Thumbs Up

And if you plan to do that, check out Retrospektiw I-II.  It's got a live MDK and it's got Theusz Hamtaahk. Big smile

I actually got two MP3 credits on amazon and I got the Retrospektiw I-II with them (the credits were for two songs...so I got the longest songs I could think of LOL)
