I'll give 71 another vote. I feel it's the most colorful year in question for these 6 bands. All of them released an album (or 2 in Yes' case) and all of these albums either sit among my favorite from each band or (in the case of Floyd) include at least one undeniable genre defining classic. 72 and 73 are of course artistic peaks in their own right, but I feel personally 71 sees each of these bands on an equal playing field, a concentration of pure potential energy the fruits of which had to be spread out over the next three years.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

70, 71, and 73 are the only years all of the big six released music. Therefore, 69, 70, 72 and 74 should not be included?
So with that mentioned... 1971.

71 tied with 73 for me (72 total Gnosis rating points added up) I'll vote for 71.

The world was created in 1969, as far as I'm concerned. God bless the omnipotent KC.

Great albums in all these years, but the best for me is '73 - all five stars (which is not the case for any of the other years).

Tough one, For me 1969 & 1970 fall a little short but 1971- 1974 are all very strong. I went with 1971.
