I have always loved The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis, great concept, great lyrics (Gabriel goes Freud), great music (except some moments on side 4) but it remains a controversial project. Thanks to The Musical Box (Genesis tribute band) I could get an impression of the mindblowing live performance in those days Clap !
Second best is Phaedra by Tangerine Dream, best electronic album of all times with those compelling Mellotrons, sequencers and synthesizer layers Thumbs Up !

I went with 'Relayer', easy for me, has my fave song. But I do believe it was released in 1975. I know 'Topographic oceans' was released in January 1974. Will check for 'Relayer's' exact release date..

I voted for The Lamb, but Tull's "Warchild" is one of my favorites.

(insert insightful statement here)

  The Lamb for me . Not so much on musical grounds but from the point of the mother of all concept albums. Hard though to discount relayer with the best epic of all time. Focus and Supertramp also deserve serious consideration.
How wonderful to be so profound

RED! With Relayer a close second.


You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

So many wonderful albums from 1974. I felt like voting for Camel's Mirage, but it's tied with Relayer by Yes and Starless and Bible Black and Red by KC, aswell as many others.
