Rush... my fave album of theirs, but in truth I own 7 of them and listen to them regularly (I don't own the top 3, but know 2 of them)

That it is. Fainting in Coils, Hell's Bells, 5G, etc, etc. Four monster players in Bill Bruford, Jeff Berlin, Allan Holdsworth and Dave Stewart (as well as top notch guest appearances).

It is number three for me behind Yes and Rush. But, I could probably be talked into it being my number one. Great list of albums in this poll.

Having lived through these years, Hackett was seen very much as the saviour of prog at the time although Gabriel's album was very innovative.  I saw both of them on the respective tours (Gabriel's album wasn't even out - he was also supported by a band fronted by Bill MacCormick - well known to Canterbury prog fans).  As for the rest...Supertramp in third spot.

Own 8 of them, most since 1979/1980, voted for Steve Hackett

Been listening to a bit of Supertramp over the past couple of days, in BiA. 

Yes, its borderline cheesy, but they did pen a good tune.
