From the list imho it’s easily IQ - 'Tales From The Lush Attic'

I am not at all shocker at this point seeing IQ taking the lead... once again, and marching forward towards a sixth win (which would make them the band with the most wins in the series Shocked)!

You caught me on this one. I definitely have not heard this Art Zoyd album.


Even many people who like Art Zoyd generally and might consider themselves to be fans will not have heard that album. It's the lowest and least rated of all Art Zoyd 70s and 80s albums, but is a personal favourite of mine. I love the track "Migrations". Four of my traditional favourite albums from 1983 that are included in Prog categories have been Art Zoyd's Les espaces inquiets, Codona's Codona 3, News From Babel's Sirens and Silences / Work Resumed on the Tower and Eskaton's Fiction. My tastes do tend to run towards the unusual.

If I set my old iPod to random song shuffle, there's a good chance that I will hit an Art Zoyd -- that, Ennio Morricone, Magma and things Robert Wyatt feature heavily on it. On my new phone it's mostly Cardiacs (good driving music I find), so I could hardly complain or feel left out when it comes to this poll.

One of the beauties about such themed polls (in this case a year poll) is that most everyone's list will be quite different, unless of course it's based on a shared list and the like. I appreciate seeing different things in different people's lists.

Maybe he calls these polls "random" for a reason? Tongue

For me IQ. Great album and very innovative for that time.

I, like Nick, also go with Cardiacs over the Bowie (and over Tangerine Dream). I really like the B side of Let's Dance, but I wouldn't consider it to be one of the great Bowie albums (from an artistic, non-commercial standpoint) and I would be reluctant to include it in a Prog section poll even though it has some progginess about it.

I understand why Marillion wasn't included, and think the reasoning sound, and would like to think that that is also the reason why Art Zoyd's Les espaces inquiets was not included, but then I am quite confident that I'd be deluding myself.

They already won four other 80s polls, so I thought I'd not include them on this one, since 'Script' is a pretty obvious album.

I figured this was exactly why you didn’t include them, and agree wholeheartedly. Including them would have rendered the poll almost a waste of time! 😄

One of the few polls I won’t vote for Bowie. I do like this album, but it’s far from being one of his greatest (even if it’s easily one of his most commercially successful).

I went for Cardiacs. 🤗🥰
