For what it's worth, it was a gnat's whisker away from making mine. I only discovered it comparatively recently and have heard it maybe three times at most, so it's possible if you asked me again in a few years it might have made its way up there. [/QUOTE]Yeah, I just listened to it for the first time 3 days ago, after listening to it I would probably put over Citadel by Starcastle. |

I'm surely suprised that nobody else than I has listed this one.  Edited by David_D - April 24 2023 at 08:21 |

I missed Epidaurus' Earthly Paradise as well, I need to spin this again I sure rated it high. I'll mention Island, Lard Free, Arco Iris, Smak, Shylock and Patrick Forgas as releasing strong records that year as well.

I haven't done my 70's lists, I just felt it was too overwhelming at the time I did the other years but I will eventually I'm sure.
So just going over some of the albums from that year I'll go with these although far from an official list because I know I will miss some. In no order... Rush- A Farewell To Kings Pink Floyd- Animals Supertramp- Even In The Quietest Moments Locanda Delle Fate- Forse Le... Heldon- Interface Archaia- s/t Plat Du Jour- s/t Al DiMeola- Elegant Gypsy Coma- Financial Tycoon Aera- Hand Und Fuss Anna Sjalv Tredje- Tussilago Fanfara Hermeto Pascoal- Slave Mass PSI- Horizonte Great year for Jazz and Electronic albums. Bennie Maupin's Slow Traffic To The Right, Jean-Luc Ponty's Enigmatic Ocean and Iceberg's Sentiments along with what I picked. Then Klaus Shulze's Mirage and many others in electronics. |

Fascinating year, isn't it? Rise of punk, first signs of the major UK bands starting to become complacent and/or lose their way a bit, but still so much incredibly progressive music bubbling to the surface.
Here's my list, in no particular order. Nothing that hasn't already been mentioned by this point.

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

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?

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.

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 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). |
