Crescent, Ballads and Live at the Village Vanguard are probably my 3 faves.

My four current favorite Coltrane albums are probably Crescent, Ascension, The Olatunji Concert and Interstellar Space, in no particular order. If free jazz is a thing that scares you, then a couple of my more conservative favorites in addition to Crescent are Coltrane Jazz, Olé Coltrane and A Love Supreme.
 
Edit:
My Favorite Things is also an essential album in any record collection for the title track alone, which I would consider to be one of the pinnacle moment in the history of recorded music.

Free jazz doesn't scare me i just tend to like free jazz with a fixed or defined rhythm section if that makes sense. If its too meandering i loose interest. thanks for the suggestion. 
 
I asked on the jazz thread as well and got different answers so i will check them all and see what I like. 
 
Do you like the Claudia quintet? I got 2 albums of theirs recently that i thought were excellent. ¬
