1) Traffic: John Barleycorn Must Die
2) Gentle Giant: Gentle Giant
3) VDGG: H to He

Like several of the albums in this list. Traffic, however, wins pretty easily. John Barleycorn is among my favorite albums GG is a good debut, but it's with the next album they really up their game. Killer is an awesome track, favorite song from VDGG.

VDGG's H to He. Once a week I dream about an overflowing toilet.

Both VDGG albums and Lizard. Vote for The Least We Can do as this seems the most neglected by voters out of these. I also like Air Conditioning, Snafu, Poseidon, Gentle Giant and John Barleycorn.

Nothing I've heard I don't like here. A top ten would look something like this (some days, H to He and Lizard might switch places:

Van der Graaf Generator - H to He, Who Am the Only One
King Crimson - Lizard
Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant
King Crimson - In the Wake of Poseidon
Van der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other
Curved Air - Air Conditioning
East of Eden - Snafu
Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die
Marsupilami - Marsupilami
Audience - Friend's Friend's Friend

Both King Crimson and specially VdGG are among my most loved albums. Snafu is great too. 
But my vote goes to the amazing Gentle Giant debut.

Quite a few I love here, but I am the first (and maybe last) to go with VdGG's The Least We Can Do is Wave to Each Other. Much as I really like H to He, The Least is a particularly special to me album that I seem to rate higher than most people. If that were not on the list, then I would have gone with King Crimson's Lizard.
