Peter Gabriel "Passion"
The Nice "Five Bridges" is the only one I have heard. I loved it!
Peter Hammill I'll say VdGG "Godbluff", as I'm not yet very familiar with his solo albums
The Strawbs "From The Withcwood", but I have heard only thiet Sandy Denny songs exept this.
Univers Zero ?
Dave Stewart (in all his incarnations, Egg/National Health/Hatfield) ?
Frank Zappa "Weasels Ripped My Flesh"
Gong ...
Roxy Music Not my cup of tea 
Bill Bruford "Footloose and Fancy Free"

Peter Gabriel: great disappointment: since I liked him so much with Genesis I was hopeful about his solo works, but...
Peter Hammill: I ADORE him, expecially "Silent corner", "In camera" "Nadir"...
Dave Stewart: I like Egg, but his incredible in Rotter's Club, best Canterbury I've ever heard
Zappa: v. Peter Gabriel, except Peaches en Regalia, masterpiece
Gong: great band, my fav album is Angel's egg, but Camembert Electrique is fantastic as well
Bill Bruford: nothing expecial, but "Back to the beginning" is remarkable

- Peter Gabriel : Us and Up (not just because I like albums with short names
 ) also Secret World Live
- The Nice : I haven't heard many, I have Elegy and its extended double version Keith Emerson with the Nice... Both are well.
- Peter Hammill : Solo: Nadir's Big Chance, Silent Corner. VdGG: Pawn Hearts, Still Life
- The Strawbs : I have more than 10 albums in mp3, but haven't heard all extensively. So far Just a Collection of Antiques is fine. Better than post-Wakey era.
- Univers Zero No idea
- Dave Stewart (in all his incarnations, Egg/National Health/Hatfield) Only heard Egg debut. Great!
- Frank Zappa Definitely Hot Rats!!!
 then goes Waka Jawaka, Grand Wazoo and Sleep Dirt...
- Gong : Flying Teapot, Gong est Mort, Live etc. For Pierre Moerlen leaded Fusion period, Downwind full stop!
- Roxy Music : For Your Pleasure
- Bill Bruford : I can only count for Yes albums Close to the Edge and Fragile!
 Oh! I forgot King Crimson! Larks, Starless and Red... Great Deceiver is also great!

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

Peter Gabriel -
The Nice - I have a cheap "Best Of" on vinyl. I listened to it twice.
Peter Hammill - With VDGG - Godbluff. I've yet to REALLY explore his solo work.
The Strawbs - I have Grave New World. It's all right.
Univers Zero - Very good music if you fancy something daaaaark. Their catalogue is a bit samey, though. It seems like they took the track "Ruins" by Henry Cow and spun umpteen albums from it. Heresie is my pick.
Dave Stewart - Egg and Hatfield showed him at his peak. Hatfield's storming new lineup has finally disproved the myth that he was irreplacable. Ummm... The Rotter's Club? Nah, that's more Sinclair/Pyle's album. I'll go for Polite Force with Egg.
Frank Zappa - Innovator, "rock" composer, humourist, genius. Unfortunately, he could never tell the difference between the good stuff and the bollocks. We're Only In It, Hot Rats or Waka/Jawaka for me.
Gong - Much as I enjoy areas of the wider "Gong Family", the Camembert-You period will never be beat. Oh, and they inadvertantly spawned Ozric Tentacles. Prog I can play in anyone's car! Hooray! Right now I'm enjoying Camembert Electrique the most but traditionally I've said Angel's Egg.
Roxy Music - Too poppy for my ears.
Bill Bruford - I need to give his solo stuff a second chance.
