This is the year when it begins to get easier to narrow it down to ten choices..... at least that's the theory anyway.
 Absolute Elsewhere - In Search of Ancient Gods The Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination Jon Anderson - Olias of Sunhillow Ashra - New Age of Earth Camel - Moonmadness The Enid - In the Region of the Summer Stars Genesis - A Trick of the Tail Renaissance - Live at Carnegie Hall Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear Rick Wakeman - No Earthly Connection

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 |

Quite "unimaginative" as I think this is pretty much the PA website's 10 top rated for 1976 but I'm still digging the archives of the 70s having only been born 20 years later... Kansas - Leftoverture Rush - 2112 Genesis - Wind and Wuthering Camel - Moonmadness VDGG - Still Life Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior Sloche - Stadacone Brand X - Unorthodox Behaviour Zao - Kawana
