 Topic: Your top 15 progressive music albums IN the '70s?Posted: September 05 2024 at 05:58 |

Yes, this thread is for the old boys and girls, and if one per artist, my favourite albums in the '70s included: Camel (UK) - The Snow Goose Clearlight (F) - Symphony Emerson, Lake & Palmer (UK) - TrilogyFocus (NL) - Hamburger Concerto Genesis (UK) - Trespass or SEbtP Jean-Michel Jarre (F) - Oxygene Mahavishnu Orchestra (USA) - Birds of Fire The Mothers (USA) - Over-nite Sensation Mike Oldfield (UK) - Tubular Bells or Ommadawn Osibisa (Africa) - s/t Pink Floyd (UK) - Wish You Were Here Jean-Luc Ponty (F) - Upon the Wings of Music Return to Forever (USA) - Where Have I .... Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles! Live! (USA) Secret Oyster (DK) - Sea Sun Tangerine Dream (D) - Stratosfear Rick Wakeman (UK) - The Six Wives or The Myths and Legends Weather Report (USA) - Black Market Enjoy!  Edit: As not everybody has understood properly my thread title ("IN") and OP ("this thread is for the old boys and girls....my top 15....was"), I better to point that I'm asking for a list of those albums, one was most fond of in the '70s - and my own list has grown to more than 15.

David, can I have some clarification here? Is this my top 15 albums IN the 70's, ie a list of 70's albums that had been formed in my mind by 1979.... or a list of 15 fave albums FROM the 70's which I have now formulated in 2024?
If it's the former, then I was only 11 when the decade ended, so my list won't have much more than the Electric Light Orchestra, Queen, a couple of dodgy Genesis tracks and possibly a bit of Supertramp on it... If it's the latter, then I'll get thinking?

It's the list of those 15 albums, one was most fond of in the '70s. I hoped that was clear by my thread title and OP, but very good to ask when not sure - thanks.  |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Ok, so this thread is for those who were collecting and listening to prog in the 70s and not just your favorites from that decade. Now I understand why he said it's for the older folks. I just re-read the title. In that case I won't post because I was in single digits in that decade and didn't discover or get into prog until the 80s (I'm probably one of the few people on here like that).

I am out on this one. I turned 12 in 1979 and I think the only albums I had at that time was the Star Wars score, a couple of Sesame Street albums, an Escape from Witch Mountain audio story record, and a collection of 'science fiction' music, which included Rocket Man and the disco Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band by Meco. It wasn't until a couple of years later that I learned about "prog."
