Search/Classic - Live versions of "Low Spark" (great Chris Woods solo) and "Uninspired", First two records, "When the Eagle Flies" - if only for its hugely depressing lyrics.
Bonus question: Rebop Kwaku Baah - good idea or bongo boredom?

Destroy: The live albums. They get a bit too funky for their own good on Last Exit...
Also worth noting: If it weren't for his successful yet lackluster solo career, might Steve Winwood be one of the biggest "unknown legends" of rock? I mean his work with the Spencer Davis Group and Blind Faith is spectacular. What a great voice.

The entirety of the LOW SPARK album is untouchably great.
Alex is on - Low Spark is near perfect - "Hidden Treasure" is one of my all-time faves.

i got bombarded by traffic by my dad growing up.. a lot of it glazes over me but i've always love low spark lp and the first two albums + early singles a great deal. i think steve winwood's first solo album might be better than any traffic album (maybe dave mason's alone together as well?)

heard "the low spark..." on a random radio station testing out a friend's hifi in berlin on nye of all places, had never heard of these guys before but got my friend to shazam it...and it worked. amazing tune! is the album of the same name the place to start?

"low spark" the album isn't a bad place to start, but the album "shoot out at the fantasy factory" has more "low spark"(the song)-ish moments. all of their albums are pretty good-great, imo

Never listened to these guys before, except for hearing "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and an edited version of "Low Spark" on the radio as a kid. Checking out the 2CD Gold compilation on Spotify right now, and it's pretty clear I've been missing out.
