The ultimate list! A year-by-year inventory of Prog Archives' Top Albums, including all available album links and (some questionable) album ratings, so don't be too surprised if your favourite Avant Prog album from any particular year receives a measly 1 or 2-star rating from yours truly.
![]() 1967 The year of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album and the Summer of Love for Psychedelic Rock with Jimi Hendrix setting his guitar (and the world) on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival. 1967 is also the year when it all began for Progressive Rock (if you don't include Miles Davis) with debut albums from The Nice, Pink Floyd, Procol Harum, Traffic and the newly-reformed Moody Blues. 01. ![]() 02. ![]() 03. ![]() 04. ![]() 05. ![]() 06. ![]() 07. ![]() 08. ![]() 09. ![]() 10. ![]() 11. ![]() 12. ![]() 13. ![]() 14. ![]() 15. ![]() 16. ![]() 17. ![]() 18. ![]() 19. ![]() 20. ![]() Edited by Psychedelic Paul - June 20 2024 at 01:57 |

You should be a collaborator, Paul. You post more material on forums...than anybody on PA. I've found many albums you've recommended resplendent. That said, you put a dent in my spending money account. Enjoying my Mostly Autumn binge.

being a collaborator has got nothing to do with posting in the forums (or the quantity of that). It's a contribution to the archive, evaluating suggested bands, adding bands and albums.

I doubt if I'd make a good PA collaborator anyway. How on earth would I ever find the time!?? And besides, many of the collaborators in war movies I've seen end up getting shot.

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

By the way, before moving onto 1968, I'm wondering why The Beatles and The Nice aren't included in PA's Top Albums list for 1967?

Is that true for honorary collaborators? Or the folks who vote for the collaborators end-of-the-year album list? I ask, because I voted one year....submitted my top 20 albums. I wasn't a collaborator.

As far as i know, honorary collaborators were either collabs/special collabs, prog-reviewers, they didn't get the "honorary" for nothing. Their contribution to the site meant something. " collaborators end-of-the-year albums" - this one is obvious, isn't it? I don't know to what list you contributed... you have to give more info for that...

I
guess the proto-prog and prog-related categories are not taken into
account for the overall PA lists (and rightly so, I think). Anyway, I don't know what the purpose of this thread (and undoubtedly the following ones) is, since PA is already an inventory...? But I wish you a lot of fun with it.

Prog related artists are not considered for those lists.

The PA Top Albums lists do not include the Proto-Prog and Prog Related categories. In order to see the top albums from the Proto-Prog and Prog Related categories, one has to go to Proto-Prog and Prog Related categories, where there is a link to the list of top albums in the respective categories. In the top prog albums list, the Sub-Genre filter does not include either Proto-Prog or Prog Related. |

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.

^^ One further difference is that the top prog albums are "Essential: a masterpiece of progressive rock music", whereas the top Proto-Prog or Prog Related albums are "Essential: a masterpiece of rock music". This seems to suggest a higher status for the top Proto-Prog and Prog Related albums.

Good news! I just discovered a far more extensive list of Prog Archives Top 20 Albums for 1967 (with a little help from Google), which still doesn't include The Beatles, but it does include The Nice and Miles Davis (twice!).

Good! The Davis albums are my favs from 1967....followed by Moody Blues and then Pink Floyd, Procol Harum, Traffic, and Beefheart.

^ I'm liking this new 1967 list much more too, especially bearing in mind it now includes one of my all-time favourite psych albums.
