This was such a great year for prog that even if you take away all the big boys, you're still left with a lot of great albums.

This reminds me of the 1973 monthly polls I did earlier this year.

Over-Nite Sensation is one of my favorite Zappa albums, followed by Focus 3. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

| As much as I've been diggin' Wolf City lately, Girls Gone Plump is without a doubt my favorite Caravan album, so it gets my vote. |

Man, there are endless great albums here, but I'll go for a personal favourite that always puts me in a great mood, Curved Air's `Air Cut'.
That back cover is one of my prog favourites, looks amazing on vinyl! |

| Eloy-Inside-the first album by Eloy i ever heard, i still remember finding a used lp copy of it around 1989. It is my favorite of theirs, next to the debut. |

Another tough set of choices............
There are several there that are equal for me...Hatfield, Caravan, RTF, Strawbs.....if push comes to shove I'll go with Hatfield.; never get tired of that one, though Plump is right there also. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

I heartily concur! Metamorphosis is a prog masterpiece, showing Jobson as a wunderkind. UHF and Armin are perennial favorites too.  Fabulous year , perhaps the best ever! ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

I thought it was a multiple choice poll, anyway I'm happy to have given the first vote to AREA.

I own albums by a lot of these artists but surprisingly few listed here. With those, the standout for me is Hymn to the Seventh Galaxy by Return to Forever. Great album despite Big Al not being in the group yet. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Too, too hard. Went with Hatfield and the North, though about six others could have easily taken top spot.

Bursting at the Seams is a very inconsistent album (not as good as its 2 predecessors or its 2 successors) but the good bits are astonishing. Flying, Lady Fuschia, Down by the Sea, The River and Tears and Pavan are utterly brilliant. It gets my vote. Pity about Thank You and Part of the Union!
The Caravan album is also very good. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Bursting at the Seams for me! ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

Great minds think alike and all, my friend! 
You know, I decided to recommend this album to a friend, so the quickest solution I had was to look it up on Youtube and send her the link. I just let the whole album play, and when I heard `Elfin Boy' and `Metamorphosis', despite having heard them endless times before over the years, it really hit me just how amazing they are! It was like hearing them for the first time! `Metamorphosis' is just as good as anything on those classic Renaissance albums from the 70's too!

Totaly agree, Herc! Great little album, a really easy and lovely album to play once in a while, and you nailed it about those two dog tracks, wretched!

Wow, some tough choices. I could pick the Dream, or Herbie, or the great self-titled by Alphataurus. I don't know. I'll vote for Eloy, though it's really a tie with Alphataurus! ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |
