Wow, a lot of goodies here. Tough call between Talking Heads and his Ambient recordings. I'll go with Music For Airports though.

Today it is  801 live which is excellent.
But it could just as well have been one of the 2 Roxy albums.
My favourite Eno song is probably Julie With.... from 'Before and after science'.

This poll shows what an amazingly vital artist Eno was and is.  With all this great music, I have to go with the leader, Another Green World, which shows both the ambient and pop sides of him very well.  Before and After Science also has one of my favorite songs ever - The Spider and I.  Too much great stuff to mention it all specifically - I will be here all day.

Yes, ... that's the album's peak for me. Never liked "The Bogus Man", though. I just don't like the music.

Devo, the Bowie albums and the Talking Heads albums are all close.  Since I feel like no one else will vote for Devo, I will.

Taking Tiger Mountain was always my favorite Eno. he has a lot of good stuff but it takes a while for any of it to really stand out to me

The Bogus Man, and indeed all of For Your Pleasure, is, as you say, monumental. In Every Dream Home a Heartache gives me chills every time, and I think the title track in underappreciated as well.

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

I left off Robert Wyatt's RUTH IS STRANGER THAN RICHARD from 1975. I'm sure I've left off others as well...

Tough call, lots of choices here, but ended up voting for Another Green World.  I think of it as a benchmark of sorts for a whole area of music that this album seemed to invent.  It's just a beautiful album all the way through.

I'd say I'm a fan of pretty much every album on this list though, to some degree.
