Remain in Light seems like a special case here - Eno did a lot more than just produce it, he was practically the 5th Talking Head (and his backing vox are fairly prominent in "Once in a Lifetime"!).

as opposed to roxy music, where he was the _sixth_ man

the wikipedia article is probably the result of a lengthy ongoing argument between people who think that everything eno farted on is a collaboration who put it in and people who think nothing eno did is truly a "collaboration" and taking it out, hence the piecemeal and arbitrary nature of the list

Eno as featured guest/player

Which I assume doesn't count because there's a few notables missing here.

The two Cluster - Eno collaborations are all kinds of wonderful. I went with "After The Heat".

Can't ignore Low being in this list, it's got to be that then. I would have loved to vote fot one of the albums with Harold Budd.

Second 801 Live, also always wanted to hear this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Leif_and_the_Longships
That fab cast rewrite of Peter and the Wolf seemed pretty cool, as I dimly recall, "Peter is a hero," and all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rock_Peter_and_the_Wolf

His production of Nico's The End (he all did what he could do).

(No Pussyfooting), although there are too many contenders. This is a lot harder than polling his strictly solo work.

Voting for Bowie feels like cheating, as those records are mostly Bowie (imo). Voted Cluster & Eno.

Top 5 are all stellar, good poll.

Can't say I'm surprised by the winner. Good to see the love shared with a lot of his collaborators
