Haven't heard the Zappa or Caravan entries, but of those I know I find Magma's the most interesting.

In a Glass House, Tubular Bells is the only one that comes even a mile close to one of the greatest albums ever made.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

I'll be honest and give the vote to Tubular Bells, although Caravan would probably have needed it more and I love that album, too. MDK is great as well and Future Days is something special although I can't warm to it as much as to other Can albums from that era.
Overall this collection eats the "big six" one for breakfast.

In a Glass House Future Days MDK Tubular Bells
Haven't heard the other two, but I generally like Caravan and Frank Zappa, although I don't absolutely love either
(I can't yet vote anyway, so TB remains in the lead)

The Can album here is in a class of it's own imho. I feel bad for the Caravan and Magma releases as they both are pretty damn fine, but in no way shape or form reach the infinite beauty of Future Days' earexpanding calypso funk. Tubular Bells is a great album as well - one I used to practice my Kung Fu breathing exercises to (a long time ago).
