Probably his most significant albums. I would have loved more personally but he has played in some amazing bands . Zappa, Tull , Roxy and Curved Air. Quite a career if not high on output. Choose one.

Voting for Curved Air - Air Cut being a super-favourite of mine for the last 30 years. His work with Zappa, Roxy, U.K. and Tull is impeccable. I didn’t think much of his solo albums, though I kept The Green Album. |

First vote for Danger Money. If we had multiple options, The Green Album and A would both go in. And hey, I've enjoyed Theme of Secrets off and on since its release. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

I'm not sure what made UK by UK such a great album but I suspect Eddie Jobson had a lot to do with it , there for UK gets my vote .. I simply love that album. After all these years I've never got sick of it, I don't play it all the time but when I`m in the mood it really hits the spot  |

Curved Air - not necessarily based on Eddie Jobson's work, but because I like it most out of these. |

Danger Money. When Allan Holdsworth left the band, Jobson had more room to really show his chops. ------------- "we can change the world without anyone noticing the difference" - Franco Falsini |

| I voted for his work with Zappa - at the time it was to be mainly found on 'Live in New York'. Jobson is one musician that has eluded me live. |

Eddie (allegedly) embezzled John Wetton out of money. I'm not voting!!! ------------- The Prog Corner |

| Air Cut only because of the song "Metamorphosis" which displayed his keyboard skills in such a way that I wish he could have stayed with that group, or in that style, for longer |

yes, I need to re-listen but I remember Armin was a good one but man Metamorphosis doesn't get enough love as it should. IMO one of the signature epics of the prog rock era

I was expecting the UK debut to lead the poll but glad to see the love for that Curved Air album and the track Metamorphosis especially. No love for Theme Of Secrets which is a shame. That us a beautifull album that was released on Peter Baumann's New York based record label Private Music back in the eighties that also included the likes Tangerine Dream , Patrick O'Hearn and Ravi Shankar. |

It's already OOP and you will pay dearly for it on the aftermarket. I'm glad I got mine last year (though I did have to wait a few weeks for it to get restocked). ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

I did mention it (third post, first page), and I've owned it on cassette and then CD, but I won't vote for it over Danger Money. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
