Silent Knight is 1980 and, IMO, is Saga's finest hour. Clap

Grace Under Pressure is awesome, probably the one that gets the most spins here nowadays.

Are you being genre-specific? Tangerine Dream, Rush, King Crimson, Saga and Goblin (except Volo) kicked serious arse in those years. So did a few other bands.
I meant overall. KC's best from the 80's was Discipline from 81 (imo).

I love Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair.

A lot of great electronic music was released throughout the decade. I know it's not everyone's bag, but it's all prog to me.
