^ Those are my two favourite King Crimson albums and either of those could have made my list. I just have not been listening to King Crimson as much the last few years, but my tastes can be cyclical when it comes to the classics. Most of what I listen to is newer to these ears.

Another one in PA list and one out of it taken from another topic -- I went with Bubu before for 1978 and almost went with National Health, this time it's National Health.

Prog in PA:

1970: Magma - Kobaïa
1971: Igor Wakhévitch - Docteur Faust
1972: Jean-Claude Vannier - L'enfant assassin des mouches
1973: Can - Future Days
1974: Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
1975: Cos - Postaeolian Train Robbery
1976: Geinoh Yamashirogumi - Osorezan / Dou no Kenbai
1977: Franco Leprino - Integrati ... Disintegrati
1978: National Health - National Health
1979: The Residents - Eskimo

Albums out of PA:

1970: Exuma - Exuma
1971: Egisto Macchi - I futuribili
1972: Ennio Morricone - Cosa avete fatto a Solange?
1973: Mandingo - The Primeval Rhythm of Life
1974: Janko Nilovic - Rythmes Contemporains
1975: Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho - Paêbirú
1976: Joni Mitchell - Hejira
1977: Television - Marquee Moon
1978: Nina Hagen Band - Nina Hagen Band
1979: Tubeway Army - Replicas

I'm going to do this but there are a LOT of tied albums in most of these years, and while I'll pick one for each year, it's gonna be a fairly approximate crapshoot based on how I'm feeling today. Other choices in parentheses:


1970: ELP by ELP (Jesus Christ Superstar)

1971: Fragile by Yes (Nursery Cryme by Genesis, Pawn Hearts by VdGG)

1972: Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull (Foxtrot by Genesis, Close to the Edge by Yes)

1973: The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd (Io Sono Nato Libero by Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Selling England By The Pound by Genesis)

1974: Crime of the Century by Supertramp (Mirage by Camel, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis, Relayer by Yes)

1975: Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd (The Snow Goose by Camel, Si on avait besoin d’une cinquième saison by Harmonium)

1976: Moonmadness by Camel (A Trick of the Tail by Genesis, Romantic Warrior by Return to Forever)

1977: A Farewell to Kings by Rush (Animals by Pink Floyd)

1978: Hemispheres by Rush

1979: Heresie by Univers Zero (Western Culture by Henry Cow)

I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)
