It's Time to Turn now to The Year 1982, and Before I Forget, I'll just mention that this poll Signals the beginning of the Neo Prog era with the first CD album by Twelfth Night, although it's unlikely to Beat the mighty Rush in the voting. Famous Last Words. Smile

Although the greatness were coming from the more marginal sub-genres (and not form UK), I think prog was in great shape up till about 1981. This is the first year for me where there's not a whole lot of great albums for me to choose from. But still there was a lot of greatness out there if you like strange music. Here's ten:

Kate Bush - The Dreaming art pop masterpiece - and got my vote.
Art Zoyd - Phase IV  another fantastic slice of chamber prog.
The Residents both Intermission and The Tunes of Two Cities are among their best
Uakti - Uakti 2
Holger Czukay, Jah Wobble & Jaki Liebezeit - Full Circle
Fabio Frizzi - Paura Nella Città Dei Morti Viventi
Reinhard Lakomy - Das Geheime Leben
Osjan - Roots
Embryo - La Blama Sparozzi

You won't be surprised to hear that The Dreaming is the only album I know in your list, which also happens to be my least favourite Kate Bush album. Confused

Yes, it is a shame.  I could only find one "Offramp" playlist with just one video available and six videos hidden from view. I guess I must have headed up the wrong Offramp. Confused

I'm afraid it has to be Signals, but the thumbs up also go to Eloy, APP, Tull, Plant & Twelfth Night who also brought out great albums that year...

oddly, I also found Abominog hugely enjoyable when I was 15...

Though The Dreaming is amazing, I had to go with my favorite of all of Ant's Private Parts & Pieces. The two guitarists work together is sublime.

I'd be surprised if Power Windows doesn't get a similar Bush-whacking from Kate.

I tend to think it would be best to leave Rush put of some of these polls, because the results would become more interesting. I could easily have voted for 4 or 5 others, but it would have been dishonest, because Signals is so special.

For me ; the National Health-D. S. Coda is the most proggy of this bunch. Still, lots of good bands in this list namely Roxy Music, Peter Gabriel, and Kate Bush. Even though King Crimson is my favorite prog outfit ; I find Beat to be their worst effort.

Another heavy-duty year. I have at least ten of those. Rush will win this easily, so I'll probably vote for maybe Eloy or Twelfth Night (Fact and Fiction means a lot to me).

Jon Lord's Before I Forget is a fantastic solo effort, too. "Tender Babes" is worth the price of admission. Recommended.

(Paul, no White Eagle by Tangerine Dream...? Wink)

Thanks for reminding me about Tangerine Dream, but at least I didn't forget about Jon Lord. Wink

I've now replaced Uriah Heep's abominable Abomnog album with TD's far superior White Eagle album. Thumbs Up

This is a better year for me than the previous, and like 1980, I could have voted for about half of them. The nod goes to Mike Oldfield this time, presenting the best balance between the pop that a certain cloth-eared media mogul wanted and the kind of instrumentals MO is best known for.

Kate and KC (one of their best, yes, screw the haters, I love BEAT) could get my vote, but I'll toss it to ALLAN. The Grump and I will remain the sole defenders of his solo output (Metheny Group also deserves a nod).

Why Because the results weren’t what you wanted to see?

While multiple vote polls are obviously more open to abuse, I suspect (based on those I’ve seen) that instances of that abuse are greatly exaggerated. They tend to be obvious, also, when they occur, so it’s easy to disregard them.

Strangely, 3 Ships was the most listened to Jon Anderson album on my Prog Britannia channel with over 3000 views, although I've no idea why, when almost any other Jon Anderson album is much better than 3 Ships. Confused

No, because 30 people voted for John Bonham in my Best Drummers poll, although I strongly  suspect it was one Led Zeppelin fan voting 30 times. Tongue

Voted for Peter Gabriel.

Kate Bush published another great album.

Signals, in my opinion, is a minor work, very far from Gabriel and Bush.

Those mighty fine albums are in my Top 5 list too. In retrospect, I may have underrated Anyone's Daughter, so I'll give In Blau  another listen. Smile

Some classics here, but I'm an Oldfield devotee, so Five Miles Out it is
