 Topic: Favourite Prog Albums Year by Year: 1980-1989Posted: May 17 2021 at 04:47 |

The New Wave eighties may have been the lost decade for some in the history of Prog-Rock. but then along came Marillion and the birth of the Neo-Prog era, so all was not lost.
 Some well-known favourites of mine:-
1980: ELO & Olivia Newton John - Xanadu 1981: Rick Wakeman - 1984 1982: Roxy Music - Avalon 1983: Yes - 90125 1984: David Gilmour - About Face 1985: Annie Haslam - Still Life 1986: Emerson, Lake & Powell 1987: Mike Oldfield - Islands 1988: Pink Floyd - Delicate Sound of Thunder 1989: The Enid - Final Noise |

The much-derided Xanadu album is listed as Crossover Prog here on PA, even though it doesn't resemble prog in any shape or form. Roxy Music's Avalon album doesn't sound much like prog to me either.

^ It's good to see a vote for The Final Cut. I wasn't expecting to see a Pink Floyd album in anyone's list but mine for the 1980's.
