Thought of another one,

Blue Oyster Cult Cultosaurus Erectus/Mirrors.

Secret Treaties was a runner-up for their best, though.

Rush: 2112-Hold Your Fire (for that, i like Force Ten, Time Stand Still, and Mission, but i chose it as my least favorite because this is when the keyboards start to cross the line through the band, particularly Geddy and Alex, making it more of a prog pop album. that's all.)

Porcupine Tree: Deadwing / The Sky Moves Sideways
Opeth: Blackwater Park / My Arms Your Hearse
Yes: Fragile / Big Generator
Van der Graaf Generator: Godbluff / The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome [not counting Alt]
Genesis: Selling England by the Pound / Calling All Stations [can't consider it a Genesis LP at all]
Uriah Heep: Demons and Wizards / Equator
Peter Hammill: The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage / The Noise

prog-related:
Black Sabbath: Black Sabbath / Seventh Star
Queen: Queen II / The Works
Rainbow: Rising / Straight Between the Eyes

Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin IV / Led Zeppelin I [actually their albums all are interesting and full of great moments, but this one always seemed to be the least interesting for me]
This night wounds time.

^Taken as a whole Ummagumma is far more interesting and enjoyable to me than Animals, which does almost nothing for me these days.  While I enjoyed Animals in my youth it today strikes me as a band coasting, uninspired, and coming apart.  I think Waters taking control of the Wall is what made that effort so much better than Animals. 

I know this opinion will not win me many friends here with all the Animals fanaticsLOL  That's OK, we all see each album a bit differently.
