Avoiding the big cheeses, and limiting each band to only one album:

1970 - Traffic: John Barleycorn Must Die
1971 - Caravan: In The Land Of Grey And Pink
1972 - Focus: Moving Waves
1973 - Hawkwind: Space Ritual
1974 - PFM: L'Isola Di Nienti
1975 - Camel: The Snow Goose
1976 - Renaissance: Live At Carnegie Hall
1977 - Pekka Pohjola: Mathematician's Air Display
1978 - Jeff Wayne: The War Of The Worlds
1979 - The Residents: Eskimo

In several cases I had several to choose from, of course.  Don't we all.
