"Riddle-Master" -- Patricia A. McKillip (trilogy -- does that count as three?)
"The Dingilliad" -- David Gerrold (again -- trilogy, so far)
Red Planet -- Robert A. Heinlein
The Rolling Stones -- Robert A. Heinlein
Seventeen -- Booth Tarkington
"The Foundation Trilogy" -- Isaac Asimov (I don't know if this was marketed as young adult, but it certainly fits.)
OK -- so it's been a while since I've been a young adult.

My husband talks about how Heinlein was heady stuff for a young boy. He said he doesn't stand up as well to re-reading as an adult, but that it was great stuff when he was a youth.
Janice: I know what you mean. Sometimes I know I ought to be able to rattle off an entire list and I can't get anything out.
