3 - To the Power of Three
Desde La Vida is a great Emerson composition, worthy of the early ELP catalogue. And his solo in On My Way Home is a favorite of mine.

Me too, though I like all these albums (maybe the Kansas one a bit less...), including Chance by MMEB as suggested by Gnik...

90125. I've been usurped by a mayonnaise noun again.

As I mentioned in another thread, my fave would be Freedom at Point Zero, although I know that was 1979.
Otherwise, could I have Toto: Turn Back?

90125, the best pop album of the 80s.

Asia's S/T. I enjoy all of them, though I am least familiar with the Kansas album. I've heard Power a handful of times, but I can't say that I am familiar with any of the songs by the song titles.

Better than Kate Bush's Hounds of Love and The Dreaming, for instance? Of course it's subjective, but perhaps seeing such high praise I should give it a fresh listen. Last and only time I heard it in full was in the 80s. I got very drunk, skunked and sick that night. I don't know any of these albums well enough to vote. EDIT: I listened to a couple The Smiths albums today which I also would call great, highly-regarded 80s pop. Will give a listen to 90125 very soon. "Greatest and favourite 80s pop albums" would be a topic I would be into (well, the fave part, not really the greatest). I like and remember Owner of a Lonely Heart but sampling the rest, it doesn't fare better in the 2020s for me as it did when I was a teenager. Best in this case is but an individual construct and fancy.

If Saga's Silent Knight counts, I prefer it to all these. 90125 is best of those listed but I really only like about half of its material - some of this is very very good though. (Similarly Chance.)

I find Asia's debut to be fresh and energetic.
