A more eclectic bunch to finish off the half-century re-evaluation.  Obviously, many more could be considered but certainly these albums have gone on to acquire a justified reverence.  I also thought of Tony Conrad's 'Outside the Dream Syndicate' but thought it might be a bit of a stretch.... Anyway, more 'whataboutery' anticipated.

the three Canterbury albums: For Girls' Seven Angels 
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Caravan - Faust - Magma - Soft Machine. Very hard to choose between these. Today I'm in the mood for Faust.

also fond of  Faust IV

The surprise here is the lack of votes for Magma although pitted against a strong field.
