Hate to be obvious, but nothing beats Another Green WorldHeart

I remember getting Before & After Science and then feeling completely under-whelmed by it. And it even had Jaki on it!

Aye!  However, Another Green World is mind-blowing, and I love Before & After Science as well!  I play much of this material on bass, and someday will have Fripp's solo on Baby's On Fire down as well!

Warm Jets for me, though each of those 1st 4 has amazing stuff.  Taking Tiger Mountain is best if I'm in the mood for twisted "songs"...Another Green World if I want to Fripp out (his solo on St Elmo's Fire knocks me out)...and I could listen to "Kings Lead Hat" all day LOL

I had to go with..Bush Of Ghosts. That collaboration with David Byrne, well a masterpiece. I remember Rick Wright stating in an article that this album plus Remain In Light were definitely in his top ten of all time.

Almost makes ya wish that Eno had become an integral member of King Crimson!  "Kings Lead Hat" is a riot to play on guitar!

Dammit ... . Haven't heard anything with Hassell on it. And I'm not sure if Ambient #2: The Plateaux of Mirror could be called classic. If not, then I'd vote for Another Green World, but so far no vote.

Wow I can't believe this thread has been dormant for a few years and I never voted when it was fresh. LOL  So I went with Before And After Science. 

Love the 801 live album mentioned by the thread resurrector.  I first heard that one on 8 Track.  The remastered and expanded CD version is a must have.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Voted Taking Tiger Mountain......an old favorite of mine , but I think Green World and Science are 'better' albums.

I always think of Kings Lead Hat as a prog version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird guitar jam LOL

No vote for Brian Eno & John Hassell Fourth World ? I think it's a very good and  album. I call it the Brian Eno's "Bitches Brew".

Another Green / The Warm Jets, are equaly important to me, they are amongst those few albums of an allmost devine nature
(allmost !! ..so no panic anyone in to devine as something very important Wink ).
 
Bush of Ghosts, (and No Pussy) very important, but in those cases, It more the technical aproach, not so much the 
musical contence. (but great music too.)
 
Gave my vote to Jets - dono why.

This is how I voted on this poll three years ago.  Strange, because I was about to vote for either Warm Jets or Green World.  All those early ones are fantastic.

'Cause it's the most fun, most bizarre (arguably), and most rocking record Eno has ever made.
