Schizoid, Pictures, Lizard, Saturday, Red, Nightwatchman, Discipline, Frame.
I haven't got Islands or Beat yet and stopped collecting at the mid 80s
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

"Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar."

In the Court... - Epitaph
In the Wake... - In the Wake...
Lizard - Cirkus
Islands - The Sailors Tale
Larks Tongues - Exiles
Starless & BB - Toss-up between Trio and Fracture
Red - Starless. IMO the best track by ANYONE of all time
 
I'll pass on "Discipline" and afterwards, cos there's no comparison, though I do like "VROOOM VROOOM" off the "THRAK" album - very remeniscent of "Red" on "Red".
I am one of only about 1,800 people in the world with an original M400 Mellotron!

Tried but couldn't do it....like choosing the favorite grain of sand on Paradise Beach. 
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

ITCOTCK - title track/Epitaph
In the Wake of Poseidon - title track/Cadence and Cascade
Lizard - Cirkus/Prince Rupert Awakes
Islands - title track/Prelude-song of the gulls
Larks Tongues - Exiles
Starless and Bible Black - The Night Watch
Red - Starless

that's it that's all

This is a tough one because KC is at the top of my list of best bands, but I will try...

ITCOTCK - 20th Century Schizoid Man
In the Wake of Poseidon - Cat Food/Groon (bonus track b-side), Devil's Triangle
Lizard - Lizard
Islands - Sailor's Tale/Prelude: Song of the Gulls
LTIA - Both pt. 1 and 2 of the title track/Talking Drum
Starless and Bible Black - Fracture
Red - Starless/Red
Discipline - Matte Kudasai/Discipline
Beat - Neal and Jack and Me/Requiem
Three of a Perfect Pair - title track/Industry/LTIA pt 3
Thrak - Everything on it...love this album
Constrkction of Light - LTIA pt 4/The World is My Oyster Soup Kitchen Wax Floor Museum/Into the Frying Pan
The Power to Believe - Level Five/Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With

This was as hard as I expected....and I just couldn't pick a favorite off of Thrak.  I know I'm the odd one out here but I love that album, but Red still remains my favorite album of all because it's so hard to beat a perfect masterpiece like "Starless"....simply amazing.

Epitath
Cat Food
Lizard (Circus & Happy Family are close seconds)
Song To A Gull
Groon (from Earthbound)
Exiles
Fracture
Starless
Asbury Park (from USA)
 
 
From the 80's onwards, it gets more complicated to choose a favourite track, because there are no clear stand-out
Thela Jun
Sartori In Tangier
Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part III
Dinosaur
FraKctured
Eyes Wide Open
