This happens a lot with me when scanning through a longer poll. 
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

It's not entirely about percussion as George does some synth.  It is however by and large a tuned percussion showcase.

Jack DeJohnette: Drums, Cymbals, Gongs
Pierre Favre: Drums, Cymbals, Gongs
Fredy Studer: Drums, Cymbals, Gongs
Dom Um Romao: Percussion, Gongs
David Friedman: Flat Gongplay, Vibes, Marimba, Crotales
George Gruntz: Gongs, Keyboards, Synthesizer, Crotales
Recorded September 20, 1977 at Wally Heider Studios, Los Angeles
Engineer Biff Dawes
Also released on LP in the US as ECM 19002

I came across this browsing in a record store after I had just gotten into Moerlen's Gong variation.

Nice list! Animals for me, my favorite Floyd, but could have picked from 6-7 others!

If I had to do this poll all over again, I'd do it all over you? LOL

Actually if I were to revamp it I'd probably put Animals and Farewell out of it.  Not because I don't like those but in hindsight it was predictable they'd be the top scorers.

All this stuff is in my collection and it's a great set of albums.  Thanks for the guy who gave it up for Happy The Man.  Highly recommend to those who haven't heard it to check it out.  It is a real feast for the ears.  Just don't try putting it up your nose.

Glad to see the Dead got one vote, i love Terrapin though i know it's not Dead fans favourite, and it's the same for me about From Mars Hotel . Yamasta got no vote..... i was at the show in Paris on 1976 and Shulze quite stole the show to Stomu LOL as well that Yamasta rubbed up a lot of Klaus parts through the live release

This list has been a great trip down memory lane. It's also reminded me of some old vinyl that I need to dust off both in your list and others:

Rush A Farewell to Kings
Al DiMeola - Elegant Gypsy
Rick Wakeman's Criminal Record
Pink Floyd Animals
Peter Gabriel I
Talking Heads: 77
