The first of six polls to determine our favourite prog albums year by year from 1967 through to 2020. Thanks to Mortte for the inspiration to create this series of lists.

I had to Google " We're Only in It for the Money" to find out who the album's by.

Mine are a bit obvious: 1967: 'Days of Future Passed' by The Moody Blues 1968: 'The Soft Machine' by [The] Soft Machine 1969: 'Ummagumma' by Pink Floyd Psych Paul, I have not heard any of your picks but I would definitely like to.

I've no idea who recorded "Lumpy Gravy" and "Uncle Meat", but I'll take a wild guess that they're both by Frank Zappa.

I almost chose "Days of Future Passed" for my 1967 choice too, but then I thought I'd go for something a bit more off-the-wall that not many people will have heard of, and I'm happy to say I have all three of my album choices in my CD collection. Here's a quick psychedelic taster from The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds album.... Aries - The Fire Fighter |

1967: The Doors - "Strange days" 1968: Pink Floyd - "Saucerful of secrets" 1969: King Crimson - "In the court of the Crimson King", but it was heartbreaking not to put "Ummagumma" here :(

I can think of few other artists who, at the time, would record an album that sounds like Lumpy Gravy: http://youtube.com/watch?v=uwyH9rAkugI" rel="nofollow - http://youtube.com/watch?v=uwyH9rAkugI

Yes, it's absolutely fine to include Proto-Prog albums in your choices (seeing as I did too). By the way, I'm looking forward to seeing whether or not Barbara Dennerlein is going to feature amongst your later 1980's & 90's favourites.

There are different covers of this around stating slightly different things but you may well be right. I heard that Dammers really didn't do much but fair enough, he was originally indicated.

Maybe that's why it was released differently later. All i know is that it was released in 69 as the TSCC ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

| OK, I know it's Days of Future Past for 67, and Court of the Crimson King for 69. But I don't really know which I might choose from 68... I guess by default I might go for Pink Floyd and a Saucerful of Secrets, but still, even though I love some of the songs, they did so much better later. |

1967 The Nice - The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack 1968 1969 Colosseum - Valentyne Suite EDIT - made a mistake as the Led Zep second album was of course released in 1969. my favourite album of 1968 is easily Love - Forever Changes but I'm not sure that counts as 'Prog'? I struggle a bit with 1968 to find a prog album I enjoy. Beatles -White Album is not too my taste. Arthur Brown - The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown is okay so I will include that instead.

1967 Having an affinity to all thing Emerson drives me to the Nice - The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack. However, The Moody Blues - Day of Future Past http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=1938" rel="nofollow - is a solid contender as is The Doors - The Doors, and The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I'll Pick The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 1968 Iron Butterfly - In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida 1969 King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King No contest. However, The Moody Blues - On the Threshold Of A Dream and The Who - Tommy sneaks in just under it. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |
