Of course the three Bruford-albums are fantastic, but also the only albums this unit made, so if you go for this option too, I could add Happy The Man, Crafty Hands and Better Late or even UK, Danger Money and Night After Night (after all, that last one contains new stuff).
Porcupine Tree:
In Absentia
Deadwing
Fear of a Blank Planet
Led Zeppelin:
IV
Houses of the Holy
Physical Graffitti
Black Sabbath:
Master of Reality
Vol. 4
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
db - Station To Station / Low / Heroes
Neil Young - Ragged Glory / Harvest Moon / Sleeps With Angels
U2 - Achtung Baby / Zooropa / Pop
I remember tomorrow
Yeah, I couldn't figure out a Chicago sequence either. I, II, V, VII are brilliant. Not a fan of III, and VI is weak.
Heart - Dreamboat Annie, Little Queen & Dog & Butterfly (ignore Magazine as it was a contractual album)
Anathema - Hindsight, We're Here Because We're Here & Weather Systems.
A few off the top of my head:
Thinking Plague - History of Madness, Decline & Fall, Hoping Against Hope
Finch - Their 3
Advent- "
BBT - Underfall Yard, EE1, EE2
Camel - Mirage, Snow Goose, Moonmadness
Tony Banks - 7, 6, 5
King Crimson - Lizard, Islands, Larks' Tongues
Pink Floyd - Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, Dark Side...
Gentle Giant - Octopus, Glass House, Power & The Glory
Thieves' Kitchen - any 3 with Amy Darby
Genesis - any three 1970-1976
Bo Hansson - Lord of the Rings, Magicians' Hat, Attic Thoughts
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge, Ommadawn
Scott Henderson & Tribal Tech:

Nah. Zooropa has moments of greatness but thrown together.
Please don't ignore Heart's "Magazine." Yes, the finished product was contractual, but the half-album of original material contained therein was recorded with all the passion of their other likewise material, as it was meant to form the basis of their new album. That 22-min of music is amazing, and as good as anything they ever released.
Left field entry:
Cos-
Postaoelian Train Robbery
Viva Boma
Babel
Yup. This is pretty much a thread ender.
Lol.
For Hammill, I'd also go with The Future Now/PH7/Black Box (the three that followed, Sitting Targets/Enter K/Patience, were none too shabby either!)
Miles Smiles/Sorcerer/Nefertiti is a pretty decent run!
Magazine is one of their best songs, up there with Little Queen for instance, and Here Song and Just the Wine are very nice. If they could have ditched the two live songs and rerecorded this, it might be a worthy successor to Little Queen. (although I must say that I do like their live rendition of I've Got the Music In Me even though its fairly cheesy)
Fragile came after the Yes album otherwise three great albums
