What year, what a tough choice. Gotta go with Foxtrot. In my mind, Close to the Edge, Trilogy, and Thick as a Brick are also extremely strong. Foxtrot, however, gets more airplay in my household than any of these other offerings.

It's 'Edge, I'm afraid. Yes' most solid piece with Trilogy just on its heels.

Even when Foxtrot isn't scoring high on production, I personally still prefer it to the other albums in the poll, because of the strength of the material.

Yes--a perfect album--Foxtrot is second but suffers from bad production.

Hey this is the "Big Six": 1972 or the "Big Five": 1972 ?
I just put aside all the beautiful compositions of Trilogy but The Endless Enigma and it's enough for me to vote for ELP, this fantastic piece of music leave behind all the other entire albums of this selection.
But it's important to see so different tastes around here, people who completely dislike the ELP music in general is easy to find in ths forum and I think it's OK.
EDIT: Really no doubt also about my second vote if it were possible: Yes - Close To The Edge.

Extremely close, within microns of each other:
1 – Close to the Edge
2- Foxtrot
I have to revisit Thick As A Brick, haven’t heard it in
ages. But if I recall correctly it’s not
even in the same league as CTTE or Foxtrot.

This is a bit easier  thankfully.
I've narrowed it down to Yes or Genesis, even though TAAB is great too.
Foxtrot it is, overall I prefer it to CTTE although it is close.

I know some of you are already getting tired of these, but there's some great years coming up, I promise!  Unfortunately, no King Crimson (only counting studio albums) but that probably makes it a little easier to vote I guess? 
Another Genesis vote for me, beginning to see a pattern emerging...
Previous Poll Winners (so far):
1969: King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King 1970: Genesis - Trespass 1971: Yes - Fragile
If you're still with me, thanks for any feedback
