let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I feel like I need to hear a lot more prog from any of these years in particular to have a top ten that isn't just "the tennish prog albums I've heard from this year."
That said, A Night At The Opera, while perhaps not strictly prog, is my favorite album of all time and it came out this year.

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! :)

was in my mind as was Kayak - Royal Bed Bouncer (probably their best album) and Rick Wakeman's - King Arthur but it's such a strong year so some great albums are not getting represented it seems!
