Love all of these artists, and have heard some others from the genre, but haven't been that impressed. I could add them, but I think it would be better for someone else to fill out the list with albums they actually enjoy. I think Weather Report is usually considered an essential but I don't care for it.
I'd say Birds of Fire instead, just because of its lasting impact. The one you have listed is great too though. Zappa's Hot Rats, Weather Report, Larry Coryell's Spaces, and something by Chic Corea would all be honorable inclusions.
