Thx for notifying.

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

Mine was identical bar adding Garden Shed & removing TD - Encore, would have been easier to just cut and paste.

Colosseum II - War Dance
Rush - A Farewell To Kings
Pink Floyd - Animals
Eloy - Ocean
Kansas - Point Of Know Return

Archaďa - Archaďa
Stormy Six - L'Apprendista

Plat du jour - Plat du jour
Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express
The Residents - Fingerprince

Bonus three:
Peter Hammill - Over
The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
Pink Floyd - Animals


In Prog Related: David Bowie - "Heroes" and Low

Not in PA, but relevant imo: Television - Marquee Moon

EDIt: And added Kew. Rhone. whcih I forgot, love that album.

Oh, yeah!

I love L'apprendista (Stormy Six)

I add
- Angelo Branduardi: Alla fiera dell'Est
- Napoli centrale: Qualcosa cca nun muore
- Locanda delle fate: forse le lucciole...

Prog related:
- Eugenio Finardi - Diesel
- Lucio Battisti - io tu noi tutti

Italian singer-songwriter:
- Eugenio Bennato: Burattini senza fili
Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

My list 2 years ago was this:

Luciano Cilio - Dialoghi del Presente
Van der Graaf - The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome
Pink Floyd - Animals
Camel - Rain Dances
Supertramp - Even in the Quietest Moments
Al di Meola - Elegant Gypsy
Skywhale - The World at Mind's End
Yes - Going for The One
Gentle Giant - Playing the Fool
Ashra - Blackouts

Looking around, some more I really like are Moroccan Roll, UZ 1313, and, as I already have a live album in the list, Seconds Out and Gong Live etc., and Mirage if I'm in the right mood. Not so keen on Encore, Songs from the Wood, Ocean compared to other releases of these bands. I think I leave things as they are (maybe put the Gentle Giant live album a few ranks higher, given that this is the only GG album I'd ever list in top 10 of a year).

---

But even:

Pink Floyd - Animals
Van der Graaf - The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome
Camel - Rain Dances
Supertramp - Even in the Quietest Moments
Yes - Going for The One


- And I have to write the review of Dialoghi del presente!

It was and advice of yours, Christian!

This list is in no particular order

Supertramp-Even in the Quietest Moments
England- Garden Shed
Anthony Phillips- The Geese and the Ghost
Alan Parsons Project- I Robot
Brand X- Moroccan Roll
Gentle Giant- The Missing Piece
Circus- Movin' On 
Eloy- Ocean
Starcastle- Citadel (this was originally Black Noise until I realized that was released in '78)
Charlie- No Second Chance

The last one is a stretch but I think it fits.

If you visit FM's page on this site, Black Noise is listed as a 1977-released album.

If you visit the Black Noise page on Wikipedia, it's listed as a 1978 release.

Why don't we just call it a December 31, 1977 masterpiece?

May be my no. 1 too. Amazing album. I thought about including it myself, as it's her "proggiest".
