Here is a Poll based on my favourites in progressive music for the year 1977.....my choice is the somewhat overlooked fusion trio Giger Lenz Marron's album "Beyond".  Let me know your preference.....

Sorry to be predictable, but by 1977 most bands were on their way down, but Rush were improving with every album..

None shared this time with my list, but Rush from what I know and remember. I have enjoyed the Giger Lenz Marron, but don't actually remember the music now well-enough. Jet Lag I have heard but it did not make much of an impression on me and The Missing Piece has some lovely music but is still not one of the GG albums that I like much.

This is my top 20 for 1977 as it stands now at AwesomeProg (not much of an order, and not sure if all are correct years)

1. Franco Leprino - Integrati... Disintegrati
2. Klaus Schulze - Mirage
3. Anna Själv Tredje - Tussilago Fanfara
4. Pink Floyd - Animals
5. 森田童子 - ボーイ (Douji Morita - A Boy)
6. Univers Zéro - Univers Zero (1313)
7. David Bowie - Heroes
8. Kraftwerk - Trans-Europe Express (Trans-Europa Express)
9. Andre Fertier's Clivage - Regina Astris
10. David Bowie - Low
11. Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
12. Archaia - Archaďa
13. Island - Pictures
14. Ragnarok - Ragnarök
15. John Greaves, Peter Blegvad & Lisa Herman - Kew. Rhone.
16. Television - Marquee Moon
17. Plat du Jour - Plat du Jour
18. Bennie Maupin - Slow Traffic To The Right
19. Goblin - Suspiria
20. Heldon - Interface

Rush is in my longer list: https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa/aoty-1977/users/Logan Hoping you and others will add your yearly lists there, Doug, if you find the time, but no pressure of course.

Rush. Famous quotes from my Mom #35: "Why are there smooshed peas all over you?"

Planet Rock played Xanadu the other day.  My wife, who is not au fait with the over-rated Canadian trio asked, are those lyrics generated by AI?  How we laughed....

It would be a tough call between Encore and SftW for sure!

Rain Dances remains my favorite Camel record.

From the poll itself, I chose A Farewell to Kings.

I also like Electric Savage and Jet Lag a lot.

Rush, easily. Others that I would include from the Prog side on my list would be Going for the One by Yes and Point of Know Return by Kansas.

Good list. I wore out Elegant Gypsy as I was going through a big fusion phase of learning DiMeola and McLaughlin on the guitar. Enigmatic Ocean was spun quite often too. I Robot might be my favorite APP album. Supertramp is another good one from 77.

Thanks E, I always look at your lists with interest, too. Comparing Encore with SftW is a bit apples and pears of course; the latter was a return to form and inspiration after a degree of patchiness, whereas Encore is firmly embedded in a line of beautiful albums...

another nice list, Greg...  Clap  I have the Yes and Supertramp in my list of Nos 11-20; maybe the APP might sneek in too?

Where is 'Animals' - probably one of the last great prog albums from the golden era of the *genre.

*ca 1969-1979
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

these lists contain the OP's personal faves of the year, rather than an objective list, however speaking personally, I think these lists always show more interesting results when Rush, Yes, Genesis & PF are omitted from the choices...
