 Topic: Your 10 Favourite Prog Albums of 1977Posted: July 08 2021 at 11:33 |

Yes, we're Going for the One year when Yes made the first of several comebacks with a new line-up.
 Camel - Rain Dances Emerson. Lake & Palmer - Works Vol. 1 The Enid - Aerie Faerie Nonsense England - Garden Shed Illusion - Out of the Mist Duncan Mackay - Score Nektar - Live in New York Anthony Phillips - The Geese and the Ghost Renaissance - Novella Yes - Going for the One It's getting harder to decide on a Top 10, so I had to list every British prog album released in 1977 before I could make my selection. |

Purely by coincidence, I'm listening to Zomby Woof's superb album for the very first time right now.

^ At least I'm not the only one who doesn't have Pink Floyd's Animals in their Top 10.

^I've only heard Yes from your top ten.
 Animals is a bit commercial for you?

It makes a nice change for me to have heard more albums in your Top 10 than you've heard in my Top 10.  Duncan Mackay's Score is probably the least known album in my list, which is really worth checking out. As for the Animals album, it's in my Top 20 for this year, but didn't quite make it into my Top 10.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

1. Yes: Going for the One
2. Starcastle: Fountains of Light 3. ELO: Out of the Blue 4. Kansas: Point of Know Return 5. Alan Parsons Project: I Robot 6. Anthony Phillips: The Geese and The Ghost 7. Styx: The Grand Illusion 8. Supertramp: Even in the Quietest Moments 9. Barclay James Harvest: Gone to Earth 10. FM: Black Noise I'd also like to make a shout out for 1977's J.GEILS BAND Monkey Island - emphatically NOT prog, but still a masterpiece and does include their proggiest moment, the nine-minute title track!
