The eighties - Maybe 1984 by Ant Phillips, or possibly one of the IQ efforts or maybe Twelfth Night - Certainly none of the ones you listed (But I haven't heard most of those !)

I'm having a hard time choosing whether to bash neo-prog or the progressive electronic stuff.
Both are uninspired and uninspiring.   
Those terms match mostly everything, though...
Cheers

The Porpoise's "Blowhole" is close to the top!
What about Crustacian Festivities' "Flat Out At Ramadan"
Or anything by Jaco Pastorius,Stanley Clarke or Bentom Radley?

Art of Noise .... prog? come on!!
As much as I do like Mr Gabriel, by far the best prog album of the 80s was Once Around the World by It Bites. A classic!

My personal favorite would be Marillion's "Clutching At Straws". True, not their most progressive but it contains for me the most powerful lyrics ever from Fish.
I voted for 90125. IV (aka Security) is my favorite Gabriel album.

What's next- a "best vocals in an instrumental" poll?
Should there a forum law against creating definitive-sounding polls with choices severely limited according to your own tastes? 
DB has learned much from the American election process. May the best man (that you have actually heard of and doesn't disgust you) win!

Hi Everybody,
From the list I just like PG 3 (I prefer " SECURUTY") and 90125 (but I don't think it was very progressive...)
My favourites are:
FUGAZY - MARILLION
SCRIPT FOR A JESTER'S TEAR - MARILLION
BROADSWORD AND THE BEAST - JETHRO TULL
Best greetings...

Then there would be NO polls, everyone is working
from the limits of their own knowledge. This is
obviously not brain surgery.
You may not agree with me but I aint dead!

it's a fair point. But you must admit that your choices favor your concept of prog, which excludes what many people on the forum would consider necessary inclusions.
It's worth a lighthearted jab or two, anyway. No personal offense meant.

I do agree, sort of, with Mr Lee as it is fustrating when there are lots of obvious exclusions from a poll list. But by the same token it is also great when someone acknowledges the existance of an album you thought no one else listens to. it is also an important learning experience for those who may for one reason or another not have the backgraound knowledge of prog. That is the most important job of ProgArchives to further the knowledge of prog.
We could however try to change the wording of the Poll question such as 'Which of these 80's Albums was the best' rather than such sweeping questions like 'best prog album of the 80's' Either way you would not stop people from coming up with their own suggestions in the replies. Which is a very good thing as I have discovered many new listening pleasures from this.
The funniest poll was the 'best keyboard player' poll recently. There were so many obviously missing people it was hilarious. It was the first poll where the 'Others' choice won the poll! Another way of looking at the same poll when you read the replies was that it was obvious that Tony Banks was winning it and he wasn't even listed!!

Why isn't King Crimson represented? Did someone fall asleep in the 80s?

Actually, just about everything from the 80's is sh*t. The only good albums (Discipline, Tangram, Planets, Levitation...) all came out in 80 or 81, alfter that, nothing!
I hope in future generation, humanity will forget about this sad musical period...
