OK, so this takes some effort (and time), but I thoroughly enjoyed
doing it, and am currently listening to these albums in chronological
order, which is just brilliant! And I'm interested to see other people's
lists.
BTW, it's not what you were listening to at the time (although some will be), it's your favourite album from these years, as of now... So here's mine:
1970 Trespass Genesis
1980 Permanent Waves Rush
1990 Faith Hope Love King's X
2000 The Seventh House IQ
2010 In The Wake Of Evolution Kaipa There's a hell of a lot of great albums missing out here of course! And some years were very tough (1987/1989/2008 particularly) Come on, have a go, you know you want to

Don't think I could do this. The field between about 68 and 73 would be impossibly crowded, and definitely not just by prog artists. |

Too old to play this game...from 1951-62...I didn't pay attention to music that much, and I wasn't even really aware of 'pop' or 'rock' until 1963 when The Beatles first released a US single...and of course early pop and r&b by other artists .....so 'favorite' album is a misnomer since most of us didn't listen to music when we were that young to know a 'favorite'. And far too many non prog reg rock things to go through all those other years.... ;) ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Didn't know this was about prog! Besides, Kind of Blue (1958) is in the Archives! Also, according to OP, it's about what albums you would pick now to represent each of the years of your life.

Again: It's about what albums you appreciate now that you'd pick for each year of your life. Believe me, I was not listening to Miles, Dex, Monk, or 'Trane in my early childhood! (Nor were my parents.) ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Well, I'm not as old as some on here. I was born in 1970 which seems to be right around the time when prog was starting to put itself on the musical map and gain more attention in more than just a cult way(which seems to be where it sort of is these days also. Lol). My issue is I haven't really heard enough prog to comfortably do one for every year. If I just was going to do random albums then I could possibly do it but my expertise on albums is lacking somewhat so I would rather just be a spectator here.

OK, here we are. I tend to buy albums later than in the year in which they appear, so for 2018 and 2019 the competition was pretty thin and chances are this will change (although the Matmos album is pretty strong; Soft Machine 2018 are quite good but not quite of "top albums of the year" standard). Of 2016 and 2017 I already have more than one album that could have won another earlier year. 1966 Beatles - Revolver 1967 Pink Floyd _ The Piper at the Gates of Dawn 1968 Holger Czukay - Canaxis1969 East of Eden - Mercator Projected 1970 Van Der Graaf Generator - The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other 1971 Can - Tago Mago 1972 Association PC - Erna Morena 1973 Genesis - Genesis Live 1974 Can - Soon Over Babaluma 1975 Tangerine Dream - Rubycon 1976 Van Der Graaf Generator - Still Life 1977 Luciano Cilio - Dialoghi del Presente 1978 Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses 1979 Holger Czukay - Movies 1980 Comsat Angels - Waiting for a Miracle 1981 Comsat Angels - Sleep No More 1982 Kate Bush - The Dreaming 1983 Japan - Oil on Canvas 1984 David Sylvian - Brilliant Trees 1985 Einstuerzende Neubauten - Halber Mensch 1986 Astor Piazzola - New Tango: Zero Hour 1987 Startled Insects - Curse of the Pheronomes 1988 Wim Mertens - Whisper Me 1989 Fred Frith & collaborators - Step Across the Border 1990 Shudder to Think - Funeral at the Movies 1991 Talk Talk - Laughing Stock 1992 Fred Frith - Helter Skelter 1993 Holger Czukay - Moving Pictures 1994 .O.Rang - Herd of Instinct 1995 Scorn - Gyral 1996 Art Zoyd - Faust 1997 Art Zoyd - Häxan 1998 Mark Hollis - Mark Hollis 1999 Tarentel - From Bone to Satellite 2000 Broadcast - The Noise Made by People 2001 Kante - Zweilicht 2002 Art Zoyd - Metropolis 2003 Tied and Tickled Trio - Observing Systems 2004 Radian - Juxtaposition 2005 Jaga Jazzist - What We Must 2006 Barbara Morgenstern - The Grass is Always Greener 2007 Pinback - Autumn of the Seraphs 2008 Jannik Top - Infernal Machina 2009 Svarte Greiner - Knive 2010 Sohrab - A Hidden Place 2011 North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a Moon 2012 Hidden Orchestra - Archipelago 2013 Foals - Holy Fire 2014 Swans - To Be Kind 2015 William D.

I seem to be somewhere in the middle. I'm a spring chicken to you and others and yet a geezer to some younger folks. Prog fans my age are rather rare though because prog was off most people's radar in the eighties.

I suppose that's true as when I go to see a 'classic' prog band then most fans seem to be about my age unless they have sons and daughters who come along out of interest. I did go to see Godspeed You Black Emperor a few years ago and was really surprised at how young most of the people there were so perhaps the other strands of prog (ie not 'classic') are a bit different. |

Well, I don't believe all younger prog fans are into it because of their parents nor do I think they are all into the post rock/ metal end of it but a lot of them are and they do seem to out number the older fans depending on the band. When I saw Haken there were some older fans but most were younger than me. However, when I saw Ozric Tentacles most there seemed to be really young or getting ready to retire. Lol. I think part of that is because the younger OT fans are jam band fans which appeals to a younger audience while most of the older fans are prog fans who have known about the Ozrics for a while(myself included).

I was born in the perfect year for music: 1959 - just old enough to have lived through the whole of the 1960's and still young enough now to enjoy the marvellous, never-ending breadth of music available on the Internet - and most importantly of all, just the right age to fully appreciate prog in the early 1970's.  1959: Les Baxter - Barbarian - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_koMB9IQLBgYTunrx0l_iGZUUWUEGjJbYs" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_koMB9IQLBgYTunrx0l_iGZUUWUEGjJbYs 1960: Etta James - At Last! - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa3HlKFsnLvZ1vfFn34kcWJXsGevI_mPE" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa3HlKFsnLvZ1vfFn34kcWJXsGevI_mPE 1961: Henry Mancini - Breakfast at Tiffany's - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_npX_aYZvAiXaZ44654beffslpSQhnTrE0" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_npX_aYZvAiXaZ44654beffslpSQhnTrE0  2023: YES - Mirror to the Sky - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mdLFJt9iPnV0i5cqbPQzOA3-wD3VEgJxA" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mdLFJt9iPnV0i5cqbPQzOA3-wD3VEgJxA I have a few gaps to fill in.
