If it's *best* of the worst, I'd have to go with Tormato; Abacab and Union close behind

Indeed. The "other" category is pretty nonsensical here... there are lots of good albums but they're not part of "the worst" then, at least not for the voter.

Haven't actually heard Three of A Perfect Pair, though I doubt that it belongs in the ranks of most of these, but from the ones I do know I actually consider Tormato to be pretty good (just terribly produced).

Momentary Lapse (it's not actually that bad, yatta-yatta-yatta).

I really like most of these, believe or not, so I'm having a hard time picking one. Maybe Crest of a Knave, an album I really like (lots of guitar and quite bluesy), though Tormato, 3 of a Perfect Pair, Momentary Lapse, are all good albums for me.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason is an EXCELLENT album.

Are three of the best PF songs ever.

I may be biased as Three of a Perfect Pair was the first KC album I ever bought (on cassette tape as a teenager in the eighties) and it turned me on to the band, but I like it a great deal. Nothing else on the list holds any interest for me really.

ELP's Works Vol. 2; OK, a bit of a rag-bag but contains two of their best but over-looked instrumentals 'Apple Blossom' and 'Bullfrog' (which sees them in jazz fusion/avant garde territory and not a million miles away from Shamal era Gong) - I even like the jazzed-up 'Show me the way to go home'. It's eclectic nature does not sit easily with prog purists.

Both KC albums are way above the dreck that populates the majority of this list.
