MY VdGG trio is quite mundane, one might say (in order of my usual preference):

The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other
Pawn Hearts
H to He Who Am the Only One

I wanted to try Art Zoyd, but that is really tough as I love so many Art Zoyd albums, but I'll go with:

Génération sans futur
Les espaces inquiets
Häxan

Tangerine Dream:

Electronic Meditation
Alpha Centauri
Atem

(Zeit i just don't always have the patience for)

Igor Wakhévitch:

Docteur Faust
Logos
Hathor

Robert Wyatt:

Rock Bottom
The End of an Ear
Shleep

Area:

Caution Radiation Area
Crac !
Arbeit macht frei

Popol Vuh:

In den Gärten Pharaos
Hosianna Mantra
Music From the Film "Aguirre"

Miles Davis:

Big Fun
Get Up With It
In a Silent Way

Herbie Hancock:

Crossings
Sextant
Mwandishi

Cos:

Viva Boma
Postaeolian Train Robbery
Babel

I'll stop there.

The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge 

Yawn. No offense but a lot of people(even Yes fans) seem to act as though these are the only Yes albums that matter. I think part of it is because of the lineup on those albums(especially the presence of Bill Bruford). 
 

True but when you have a thread that is picking 3 albums then what can you do? I predictably picked 2 of them (Fragile and CTTE) because of the writing and in my opinion this was the best 5 piece line-up ever in progressive rock. I did, however, go for Drama as my 'wildcard' just for a bit of variety!

certainly a bit 'left field' on that one!

Kind of a new deal for me. Works 2 just totally clicked for me; I must be nuts. 
I just dig the clamorous nuttiness, the freakout jazziness, the barroom brawls and oddball short-takes on prog rock busting out of this thing. Even the Christmas tune is cool for nostalgia purposes, hearing it back in the late 80's-early 90's all the time pumping out of the canned "Christmas classics" music-feed from the speakers of the party goods store I worked at as a young lunatic.
I find the album to be a mess, but a glorious, entertaining mess that offers more fun for me than much of their more celebrated (and rather "bloated") 'works'.
 

I think you are one of the few that actually 'get' that album. It presented a more relaxed version of ELP and was partly a reaction to the punk backlash I believe. However 'Died in the wool' fans like me tend to look down on it and I can't remember the last time I played it. There needs to be a track that I desperately want to listen to and the only thing that falls into that category is Brain Salad Surgery which I can listen to on the bonus version of the album which also has When The Apple Blossom Blooms. Also the Works Vol2 version of IBIFC is not as good as the single version imo.
