Aside from the Floyd you referred to, another dozen albums I love from this year would be Eloy: Power/ Passion, Froese: Epsilon, GG: Free Hand, Grobschnitt: Jumbo, Hackett: Voyage, MMEB: Nightingales, Nektar: Recycled, Oldfield: Ommadawn, Renaissance: Scheherezade, TD: Rubycon / Ricochet, VDGG: Godbluff, Vangelis: H&H... I wonder how many were released in the second six months??

Most of them!

I'll go with Rush's Fly By Night. 

I can't say that I am much of a fan of the listed albums.  The Snow Goose is probably my obvious choice as it is beautiful music, but I almost never fail to fall asleep while listening to it.  Geek

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Dear Reader, the poll is comprised of albums released in the first 6 months of 75 in case you are getting upset at Floyd getting missed out...  A golden age, in my humble opinion...
