Foundation Trilogy.
And pretty much anything by Larry Nivan, like Ringworld.

Science Fiction is often best read as an adolescent and therefore some of the most memorable and significant works in a readers lifelong list are going to be less than undying adult literature. That does not mean they aren’t great but just when comparing them to other genre you have a disconnect.
I’ll add one — The Cities in Flight series.

I don’t read much science fiction, but I found “The Andromeda Strain,” “Brave New World” and “Demon Seed” intriguing.

Very sad, but unfortunately I agree.

Our teacher read A Wrinkle in Time to us in the 7th grade, 1961. I’ve been hooked on SF ever since.

I enjoyed the Skylark and Lensman series by E.E. Doc Smith years ago. Could just be me. 😊🙌

A Canticle For Lebowitz.
The first third is absolutely magnificient and more than compensates for the final third.
To: Lazamataz
I agree, the Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov.
I would also put Enders Game by Orson Scott Card up near the top. Not the movie, the book.

Dune
Cities in Flight
Foundation Trilogy
