Before and After Science. I confess I haven't heard all of these though, like Discreet Music.
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.

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
Almost makes ya wish that Eno had become an integral member of King Crimson! "Kings Lead Hat" is a riot to play on guitar!
I always think of Kings Lead Hat as a prog version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird guitar jam

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.

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.

Nothing in his catalouge can compare with his first....babys on fire alone makes the rest obsolete.
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!

All of his four pop albums, but Another Green World holds a special place in my heart. It was the first of his albums I heard and was the one to convince me to look further into his output.
Also, the idea of the album just appeals to me. It reminds me of that one time I visited the Bahamas and it conjures up images of the clear ocean, beaches, tress and lizards. 14 little sonic odes of an island somewhere in the tropics. In all honesty, this is Eno's Pet Sounds /Sgt. Pepper /Forever Changes, etc.
He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball!

The first 3 were amazing as well as his work on Manzanera's debut Diamond Head (Eno's vocal on Miss Shapiro ? WOW!). Taking Tiger Mountain gets my vote
