I like Camel......have all the early albums , but I have always thought that the Snow Goose was a bit too laid back and boring at times.

Voted Tubular Bells but of course this will not stop Camel from winning yet another poll. (Actually I'm surprised this time but I really shouldn't.)

"On a dilemma between what I need and what I just want Between your thighs I feel a sensation How long can I resist the temptation? I've got my bird, you've got your man So who else do we need, really?"
Since there's no song I like more than Moon in June, and the lyrics are a part of me, it's very hard for me to think of Third as an instrumental album. But... as it is a mostly instrumental album, and it has enough pure instrumentals to cover one and a half LPs, or three sides of a double LP album, and aside from the other instrumental tracks I love the instrumental in Moon and June, and furthermore I rather dislike pedantry (especially when it comes from me slightly all the time), I will vote the same way, ticky tacky ticky, that eight other out-out-bloody-rageous people voted, and give it to Third. I adore that album, and over, up, over, up, down, if we want to be really nit-picky, the question would be better phrased as favourite rather than best album, but that would be a bit much.

"Third" is actually 1/4 vocal album. Can't vote at the moment since I like them all. From Zappa's instrumental catalogue I prefer "The Grand Wazoo". |
True, alot of "instrumental Albums" have sections or a tune or town with lyrics/ spoken word so is hard to find albums entirely instrumental- Zappa's are a case in point with most of his instrumental albums having excerpts of some sort except maybe shutupandplayyourguitar............. and some of his his classical stuff....
The Grand Wazoo - first track is a vocal but I would call it instrumental too and a fav.........

There are ton of purely instrumental albums in PA
The majority of albums in my collection have no vocals, and I have a large number that are mostly instrumental, and the vast majority of my collection with or without any vocalizing don't have lyrics, but the impurest in me would also happily consider albums as instrumental that have some talking, some inarticulate vocals, or some chanting.
Right now playing a fave of mine: Bobby Beausoleil's Lucifer Rising, which is not to call it a classic of Prog album.

Oldfield easily, although it might have been a bit harder had the Mahavishnu album been Birds of Fire.

Mahavishnu from the list, although Santana's Caravanserai is great as well.

Good? To be or not to be, that is the subjective question. The ones in my collection are great according to my tastes, but some people have called some of the music I like crap, though I think that they would be hard pressed to make a valid argument for most of them not being accomplished efforts, particularly since so many that use such grossly reductive terminology do not have great knowledge of music. But different strokes for different folks.

Yessiree Bob all these three.
From those listed I went with Focus. If the 2013 Snow Goose re-recording was specified instead of the original, I would have picked that one, though.
Some other instrumental albums I would have consider voting for had they been included are:
Jeff Beck - Blow By Blow Herbie Hancock - Crossings Alas - Pinta Tu Aldea Tangerine Dream - Phaedra Gryphon - Red Queen To Gryphon Three Rick Wakeman - Six Wives of Henry VIII Brand X - Unorthodox Behaviour

Jeff Beck - Wired. Univers Zero - everything but Clivages will do for now. Art Zoyd - Metropolis - more darkness and paranoia than any mere mortal can handle. Djam Karet - everything but I'll default to the Devouring For now Could be Camels Goose but I'll go for the Live Record version. Zappa / Mothers - Shut Up AN' Play yer Guitar or Orchestral Favorites (the demos for this album are even more exquisite btw, watch out for them) John Paul Jones - Zooma (does for the bass what Hendrix did for guitar). Tortoise - It's All Around You - more fine melodies balanced against intense rhythm.
