^ I've changed the Dzyan release to 1974 - it's wrong at RYM. I usually check Musicbrainz in this case, Discogs is the most reliable but Musicbrainz has a better interface IMHO, and also links to Discogs:

^ Actually thoiught that might be the case. PA says 1974 and I may well have the date of first release wrong. Discogs agrees with you and Prog Archives.

I always thought Electric Silence by Dzyan was a 1974 release (that is why you didn't see it listed, but I may have that wrong).....thanks for your list, Greg.

I love to see these kinds of polls. :)
I saw this right after submitting my 1975 list to AwesomeProg (been working my way down the years) https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-1975/users/Logan. It needs more work, but here is my top 20 of 60 from there right now as I see Mikes also shared his. The order is very flexible, will be adjusted more, and generally loosey-goosey. 1. Cortex - Troupean Bleu 2. Hatfield and the North - The Rotters' Club 3. Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here 4. Tangerine Dream - Ricochet 5. Neu! - NEU! '75 6. Harmonia - Deluxe 7. Van Der Graaf Generator - Godbluff 8. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti 9. Area - Crac! 10. Klaus Schulze - Timewind 11. Hawkwind - Warrior on the Edge of Time 12. Vortex - Vortex 13. Lula Côrtes e Zé Ramalho - Paêbirú [AP Prog] 14. Henry Cow - In Praise Of Learning 15. Richard O'Brien - The Rocky Horror Picture Show [AP Prog-Adj] 16. Egisto Macchi - Contemporanea [AP] 17. Dzyan - Electric Silence 18. Slapp Happy - Desperate Straights (with Henry Cow) 19. Kraftwerk - Radio-Activity (Radio-Aktivität) 20. Tangerine Dream - Rubycon From the poll, I will go with Hawkwind now even if Wish You Were Here is currently higher on my list (right before that I put Hawkwind higher, whatever, both are great) I can't really decide on an order for it, too much I love from the period. I got much more into that band recently and that is an excellent album. Libra and Odyssey are some other particular favourites. I was expecting to see Dzyan but very happy with what I voted for. |

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Smorgasbord of great stuff here!
Voyage of the Acolyte gets the nod. WYWH, Fly By Night, Spartacus and Warrior on the Edge of Time are the next favorites.

I went with Soft Machine but Steve Hackett, Terje Rypdal and Hawkwind are right there too.
Godbluff is another favourite of mine from this year. |

From the list, Gentle Giant with Mahavisnu Orchestra followed closely behind. Not on the list of albums I think highly of from 1975 would include Camel's Snow Goose, Song for America by Kansas and Jeff Beck's Blow by Blow.
