Not a great year for prog with Permanent Waves as the standout album in this niche. Some decent albums by Yes, PG, Genesis, APP and Kate Bush ... That's it, folks. The best album of the year in my book is Rainy Sundays ... Windy Dreams by Andy Irvine.

Interesting end note. I feel the same way--that's why Boy is my #1 album of the year. I, however, remember thinking (and feeling), the first time I heard the album, start to finish, that these were the heirs to Pink Floyd! So, shouldn't that alone qualify them as prog! And then their work with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois? |

Memento by SBB is probably my favorite '80 album right now. Also, recently I've been listening to Hazard by Predmestije (Slovenia) a lot, which is great but it's more of a jazz fusion than a prog record. |

I like U2 a lot but they are not Prog. XTC, on the other hand, is. Boy is definitely my favorite from them. I met them at this time and they were all very nice blokes!!!

Having just acquired Present's Triskaïdékaphobie, I hereby update my 1980 top 10 by sliding everything above down one notch to put this brilliant album at #1 for the year. Sorry Chac Mool.

I'd rather not even think about 1980 - strange times - but for the sake of this thread:
1. Bill Bruford - Gradually Going Tornado 2. Brand X - Do They Hurt? 3. Genesis - Duke 4. Jethro Tull - A 5. David Bowie - Scary Monsters 6. Steve Hackett - Defector 7. Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 3 8. Yes - Drama 9. ... 10. ... |
